Common Reasons for Rejection

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.

Lack of Innovation or Value Proposition

Applications that fail to demonstrate how the product or service is innovative, technology-driven, or solving a real problem are often declined.

Weak or Generic Business Description

A poorly written or vague explanation of the business model, target market, or operational approach reduces credibility in the eyes of the evaluators.

Ineligible Business Type or Age

Startups older than the permitted age, registered as an ineligible entity (eg. sole proprietorship), or exceeding turnover limits are disqualified.

Missing or Incomplete Documents

Failure to submit a clear pitch deck, incorporation certificate, or other required documents can lead to immediate rejection.

Business Formed Through Restructuring

If the business is formed by splitting/restructuring an existing company without genuine innovation, it will not be recognized under the scheme.
