Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for DPIIT recognition?
A Pvt Ltd, LLP or registered partnership under 10 years old, with turnover below ₹100 crore, working on an innovative or scalable product/service.
Is the tax holiday automatic?
No — 80-IAC (100% exemption for any 3 of the first 10 years) needs a separate application to the inter-ministerial board. We handle it.
Does angel tax still apply?
No — the angel tax under Section 56(2)(viib) was abolished from FY 2024-25, a major relief for startup fundraising.
