Overview

What is Startup India Registration?

Startup India is the Government of India’s flagship program for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) recognition provides startups with significant benefits including 3-year income tax exemption, exemption from angel tax, self-certification under labour laws, priority in government tenders, and access to the Fund of Funds. Calcutta Corporate handles the complete DPIIT registration along with subsequent tax exemption applications (80-IAC and 56(2)(viib)).
