Startup India Recognition — Recognised. Exempted. Compliant.

Recognition under the Startup India framework and the exemption applications that follow, for eligible companies and LLPs in Nashik and across Maharashtra.

Book Free Consultation

Recognition under the Startup India framework is a gateway rather than an end in itself. It opens access to certain benefits, and it is the precondition for the tax exemption applications that most founders are actually interested in.

N D Savla & Associates handles recognition applications for eligible companies and LLPs in Nashik and across Maharashtra, along with the exemption applications and the compliance that follows.

Applications turn on the innovation case. The entity has to show that it is working on innovation, development or improvement of a product or process, or that its model is scalable with potential for employment or wealth creation. A description written as marketing copy rarely does that; a description written as evidence usually does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recognition is available to entities incorporated as a private limited company, a registered partnership firm or an LLP, subject to the conditions on age of incorporation, turnover and the nature of the business.
No. Recognition is a precondition, and the income tax exemption is a separate application subject to its own conditions and approval.
Where shares are issued above fair value, the excess can attract tax, and recognised startups may claim relief subject to satisfying the prescribed conditions and declarations.
Recognition operates subject to the conditions on age and turnover, and the entity ceases to qualify once those thresholds are exceeded.
A concrete description of the product or process, evidence of development work, and material showing the scalability of the model support the application.
The entity's ordinary compliance obligations continue, with the conditions attached to recognition and any exemption applying in addition.
