The Startup India initiative, launched in 2015 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, is a flagship program aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, fostering innovation, and supporting the growth of startups across the country. The initiative offers numerous benefits including tax exemptions, funding support, and ease of compliance.
At Shiromani Associates, we help entrepreneurs and innovators navigate the online Startup India registration process seamlessly and in full compliance with government guidelines.
To be eligible for Startup India registration, the entity must first be legally incorporated as one of the following:
Private Limited Company
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Registered Partnership Firm
Our team will assist in incorporating your business and fulfilling all fundamental legal and compliance requirements.
Once your business is incorporated, we will:
Visit the official Startup India portal
Fill out the Startup Recognition Form online
Enter company details and upload the required documents
The following documents are to be submitted with the application:
Letter of Recommendation (from an incubator, industry association, or recognized entity)
Brief Business Description (highlighting innovation, employment potential, and scalability)
Our experts will help you prepare and validate each document to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Recognized startups are eligible for income tax exemption under Section 80-IAC for three consecutive financial years. To avail this benefit, you must apply for certification from the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB).
Shiromani Associates provides complete assistance in:
Filing the IMB application
Preparing supporting documentation
Guiding you through eligibility checks
After successful document verification and self-certification, the Startup Recognition Certificate and unique recognition number will be issued.
Note: In the event of incorrect documentation or false information, penalties may apply — either 50% of the startup's paid-up capital or a minimum fine of ₹25,000, whichever is higher. Our role is to ensure that your application is error-free and meets all criteria.
