Benefits of Startup India Registration

Tax Exemptions:
Recognised startups can apply for income tax exemptions under Section 80 IAC of the Income Tax Act for up to three years within the first ten years of incorporation.
Angel Tax Relief:
Funds raised through angel investments are tax-exempt provided the post-investment total paid-up capital doesn't exceed ₹25 crore.
Intellectual Property Benefits:
Startups can claim rebates on government fees when filing for trademarks and patents — significantly lowering the cost of protecting innovation.
Self-Certification Compliance:
Recognised startups can self-certify compliance under certain Labour and Environmental laws for up to five years.
Government Tenders & Marketplace Access:
Startups are exempt from Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) requirements and can participate in government tenders. They can also register on Government e-Marketplace (GeM) to sell products or services.

Funding Support & Faster Exit

Under initiatives like the Fund of Funds for Startups, recognised startups can raise capital more easily. Startups eligible for fast-track winding-up under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) can simplify exit procedures if needed.

Startup India Business Activities

Any kind of innovative economic activity that an Indian entity can engage in, across the majority of sectors and industries, can be carried out by a registered startup. Nonetheless, specific approval is needed for particular activities, such as those in banking, insurance, financial services, lending, defense, and telecommunication. In these situations, it becomes mandatory for a corporation to secure a number of government approvals. Therefore, startup business structures are most effective for innovative and scalable commercial operations.

Compliances for Registered Startups

Some of the regulations that apply to a registered startup are as follows:

Income Tax Return Filing:
A startup's business must use appropriate forms to file their income tax returns and claim exemptions under Section 80 IAC.
GST Return Filing:
In accordance with the plan under which the firm is established, a startup that has opted for GST registration is required to file a GST return on a monthly and quarterly basis.
Self-Certification:
Recognised startups can self-certify compliance under certain Labour and Environmental laws for up to five years, reducing regulatory burden.
Annual Compliance:
Startups must maintain proper books of accounts and comply with statutory requirements as per their entity structure (Pvt Ltd, LLP, or Partnership).

In addition to the above, various other compliance requirements maybe applicable to the startup based on industry and location.
