Recognition that unlocks Startup India’s benefits
DPIIT stands for the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, which runs the Startup India initiative. Getting your company recognised as a DPIIT startup is what unlocks the scheme’s tax benefits, self-certification for certain labour and environmental laws, faster IP filing, and access to government-backed funding routes.
Recognition also signals credibility to investors and lenders. We confirm you meet the eligibility criteria, prepare the application, and see it through to the certificate.
- Tax benefits available to recognised startups
- Self-certification for certain labour and environmental laws

- Access to government-backed startup funding schemes
- Mentorship and networking through Startup India

Questions companies ask first.
Does every startup qualify for DPIIT recognition?
No. The scheme sets age and turnover limits, and expects genuine innovation, development or improvement of a product, process or service. We check your business against the current criteria before applying.
What does DPIIT recognition actually get me?
Access to tax benefits available to recognised startups, self-certification for certain labour and environmental compliance, faster IP filing, and eligibility for government-backed funding schemes — subject to the conditions each benefit carries.
What documents do I need to apply?
Typically your certificate of incorporation, PAN, director or partner details, and anything supporting your innovation claim. We confirm the exact list once we review your business.
