Startup India is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, intended to catalyse startup culture and build a strong and inclusive ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship in India. Launched on 16th January 2016, the Startup India Initiative has rolled out several programs with the objective of supporting entrepreneurs, building a robust startup ecosystem and transforming India into a country of job creators instead of job seekers. These programs are managed by a dedicated Startup India Team, which reports to the Department for Industrial Policy and Promotion (DPIIT).
The Startup India initiative is administered by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
DPIIT plays a central role in evaluating startup applications, issuing recognition certificates, and ensuring policy implementation.
It also monitors startup benefits, coordinates with other government bodies, and updates guidelines to foster a conducive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship.
To be eligible under the Startup Registration in Najafgarh scheme and obtain DPIIT recognition, a startup must meet the following conditions:
The following entities are not eligible for DPIIT recognition under the Startup India initiative:
Before applying for Startup India recognition, your business must be legally incorporated in India as one of the following:
Note: Unregistered entities or sole proprietorships are not eligible.
Go to the official https://www.startupindia.gov.in and create your startup profile by entering basic business details such as name, industry, location, and team. This account will be used to submit the DPIIT recognition application.
Access the “Get Recognised” section and complete the DPIIT application form. You’ll need to provide:
Ensure all documents and answers are accurate and well-prepared to avoid delays or rejection.
After submission, DPIIT officials review your application to verify eligibility and innovation. Incomplete details or unclear business descriptions may lead to a request for additional documents or rejection.
It’s advisable to explain how your startup is different from routine businesses and how it adds value to the market.
Once approved, you will receive the Startup India Certificate of Recognition digitally via the portal and email. This certificate serves as proof of DPIIT recognition and allows you to apply for tax exemptions, government funding schemes, and tender participation benefits.
Understanding the registration timeline helps startups plan better and avoid unnecessary delays. While the DPIIT strives for efficiency, actual approval times may vary.
Most applications are processed within 7 to 15 working days from the date of submission. This timeline assumes that all required documents are correctly uploaded and the startup clearly meets the eligibility criteria.
If the application lacks clarity or sufficient detail—especially in the business description or innovation aspect—DPIIT may take longer to review. In some cases, they may request additional information or revisions, which can extend the overall timeline.
Despite meeting basic criteria, many startup applications get rejected due to common and avoidable mistakes. Understanding these reasons can help applicants prepare better and improve their chances of getting DPIIT recognition.
Applications that fail to demonstrate how the product or service is innovative, technology-driven, or solving a real problem are often declined.
A poorly written or vague explanation of the business model, target market, or operational approach reduces credibility in the eyes of the evaluators.
Startups that are older than 10 years or registered as sole proprietorships, or that exceed the ₹100 Cr turnover limit, are automatically disqualified.
Failure to submit a clear pitch deck, incorporation certificate, or other required documents can lead to immediate rejection.
If the business has been formed by splitting or restructuring an existing company without genuine innovation, it will not be recognized under the scheme.
The Startup Registration in Najafgarh process on Udyog Suvidha Kendra starts with filling out an online application and payment. Followed by a call for additional information and document submission. After verification, a digital signature for the company is created, and the startup profile is completed on the National Single Window platform. The application is then filed, processed by the government, and any raised queries are resolved. Upon approval, the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and token are issued, and the final Startup Certificate is sent via email, completing the registration.
The entity registered under the Startup India Scheme can apply for an exemption of income tax under section 80 IAC of the Income Tax Act. Such an entity can avail tax exemption for 3 consecutive financial years out of first 10 years from the date of incorporation provided following conditions are fulfilled:
(1) An entity shall be a Private Limited Company or
(2) Limited Liability Partnership.
(3) It shall be incorporated between 01st April 2016 to 01st April 2021.
The Startup India recognized entity can avail tax exemption benefit from the funds received as angel investment. The exemption is only granted if the total amount of paid-up share capital and share premium does not exceed Rs. 25 Crore after the proposed issue of share. To avail this exemption the entity need to fulfil some conditions for investing in certain assets.
All the startups registered under this scheme can claim a rebate on the government fees for filing a trademark application. And up to 80% rebate in Patent applications and can avail the benefit of fast track patent application. Entire fees of Facilitators for any number of Patents, Trademarks or Designs a Startup may file, shall be borne by the Government. Hence Startups will have to bear the cost of Statutory Fees only.
Startups can self certify the compliance under 6 Labour Laws and 3 Environmental Laws for 5 years from the date of incorporation. This provision minimizes inspection-related hurdles, encourages ease of doing business, and promotes operational freedom in early stages.
Registering an entity under the DIPP recognition scheme enable Startups to apply for Government tenders. One of the requirements of having minimum prior experience/turnover for filing the government tender by the companies is not applicable to the companies registered under the StartUp India scheme. Startups recognised under DIPP have been exempted from submitting Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) while filing government tenders.
Networking is an essential key for any entrepreneur to get recognition in the market and among other industry peers. After registering under the DIPP scheme, the startups get a platform to meet other startups, well-known speakers, investors etc. at various fests and summits organized by Government at a huge scale. Startups recognised under DIPP can register on Government e-Marketplace as a seller and sell their products and services directly to Government Entities.
The startup can raise funds and capital through the fund of funds initiative by Startup India. DIPP has proposed to release Rs.10,000 crore for Startups through this scheme. Small Industries Development Bank of India shall provide funds to Startups approved by Implementing Agencies.
The startup entities registered under Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) i.e A Private Limited Company and an LLP will be wound up on a fast track basis. Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code,2016, Startups with simple debt structure or those meeting certain income specified criteria can be wound up within 90 days of filing an application for insolvency.
Several Indian startups have successfully scaled after receiving DPIIT recognition under the Startup India initiative. Companies like Razorpay, CureFit, and FreshToHome leveraged tax exemptions, funding access, and government support to attract investors and expand rapidly. The recognition added credibility and opened doors to public procurement and international partnerships.
