DPIIT Startup India recognition to unlock income tax exemption, angel tax exemption, self-certification benefits, and the full suite of Startup India advantages.
DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) recognition under the Startup India scheme is one of the most valuable regulatory benefits available to Indian startups — and one of the most underutilised. The benefits are substantial: 3-year income tax exemption, angel tax exemption, self-certification under 9 laws, fast-track patent examination, and access to government procurement.
AccentTax Consulting handles the entire DPIIT recognition process — from eligibility assessment and application preparation to post-recognition compliance and benefit claims. We ensure your startup is correctly recognised and that you are actually claiming all the benefits you are entitled to.
