What Is a Startup Registration (DPIIT Recognition)?

Startup Registration, also known as DPIIT Recognition, is an official certification issued under the Startup India initiative.
This certificate confirms that your business qualifies as an Indian startup based on innovation, scalability, and growth potential.

With DPIIT Recognition, your startup becomes eligible for tax exemptions, easier compliance, IPR benefits, funding support, and several government incentives — giving you a strong foundation to grow.

Eligibility Criteria for Startup Recognition (Updated 2025)

To qualify for Startup Recognition, your business must meet the following conditions:

  • Must be registered as a Private Limited Company, LLP, or Partnership Firm

  • Must be less than 10 years old from the date of incorporation

  • Annual turnover should be below ₹100 crore in any financial year

  • Business must be working toward innovation, improvement, or a scalable business model

  • Should be an original business, not formed by splitting or reconstructing an existing entity

Our team verifies eligibility before starting the process to ensure smooth approval.
