STARTUP INDIA REGISTRATION — OVERVIEW
Startup India is a national economic initiative launched by the Government of India to foster entrepreneurship, nurture innovative ventures, and catalyze domestic employment generation.
DPIIT Startup Recognition is the official recognition granted by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. Holding a DPIIT Certificate of Recognition serves as conclusive legal verification of startup status, unlocking significant statutory exemptions and intellectual property fee concessions across central government ministries.
