DPIIT Recognition Application
DPIIT recognition is the entry point to every Startup India benefit — tax exemptions, funding schemes, and compliance relaxations all require it first. Legalkarobar.com assesses your eligibility against DPIIT's innovation and turnover criteria, then prepares the business write-up and application.
- Eligibility assessment against age, turnover, and innovation criteria
- Business write-up prepared to reflect your innovation clearly
- Application filed on the Startup India portal
- Typically recognized within 2–4 weeks
Section 80-IAC Tax Exemption
DPIIT-recognized startups can apply for a 100% income tax exemption for any 3 consecutive years out of their first 10 years — a significant benefit while reinvesting profits into growth. Approval requires a separate application to the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB), which Legalkarobar.com prepares and files.
- Eligibility check against incorporation date and sector
- Application to the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB)
- Financial statements and business plan prepared
- Guidance on choosing the optimal 3-year exemption window
Angel Tax Exemption (Section 56)
Without this exemption, share premium received from investors above fair market value can be taxed as income under Section 56 — a significant risk for early-stage fundraising. DPIIT-recognized startups meeting the conditions can apply for exemption from this "angel tax" on qualifying investments.
- Eligibility review against DPIIT and investor conditions
- Declaration filing to claim the exemption
- Coordination with your fundraising documentation
- Guidance on structuring rounds to stay eligible
Startup India Seed Fund Scheme Guidance
The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) provides early-stage funding for proof-of-concept, prototype development, and market entry through DPIIT-approved incubators. Legalkarobar.com helps identify the right incubator and prepares your application to improve your chances of selection.
- Incubator shortlisting based on your sector and stage
- Application and pitch material preparation
- Guidance on the funding stages and typical ticket sizes
- Support through the incubator's evaluation process
Self-Certification & Labour Law Compliance
DPIIT-recognized startups can self-certify compliance under select labour and environment laws instead of undergoing routine inspections, reducing early-stage compliance overhead for several years. Legalkarobar.com sets up the self-certification and keeps your filings current.
- Self-certification under applicable labour laws
- Environment law self-certification, where applicable
- Reduced inspection exposure for the eligible period
- Ongoing filing support so certification stays valid
Patent & Trademark Fee Rebate
DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for a substantial rebate on patent filing fees and a rebate on trademark filing fees, along with fast-track examination of patent applications — making IP protection considerably more affordable in the early years.
- Patent filing fee rebate application
- Trademark filing fee rebate application
- Fast-track patent examination request
- Coordinated with our separate Trademark & IP registration service
