Talk to a DPIIT Tax Exemption ExpertWhat is DPIIT Tax Exemption?
DPIIT tax exemption refers to the income-tax benefits that become available to a startup once it is recognised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Startup India initiative. Recognition is the gateway: it is the status that lets an eligible startup apply for specific tax exemptions.
The flagship benefit is the Section 80-IAC tax exemption, a 100% profit deduction for three years. DPIIT recognition also historically enabled the angel tax exemption before that levy was abolished, and supports other startup advantages. Recognition itself is closely tied to Startup India and startup registration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DPIIT tax exemption?
It refers to the income-tax benefits a startup can access once it is recognised by the DPIIT under Startup India; recognition is the status that lets an eligible startup apply for specific tax exemptions.
What tax benefits does DPIIT recognition unlock?
The headline benefit is the Section 80-IAC profit deduction for three years; recognition also historically enabled the angel tax exemption and supports other startup advantages and self-certification.
Is DPIIT recognition the same as the tax exemption?
No. Recognition is the qualifying status, while the tax exemptions, such as Section 80-IAC, require a separate application and certification after recognition is granted.
Who can get DPIIT recognition?
Eligible companies, LLPs and registered partnerships working on innovation, improvement or a scalable business model within the prescribed age and turnover limits can apply for DPIIT recognition.
Does DPIIT recognition still matter after angel tax abolition?
Yes. Even though angel tax has been abolished, DPIIT recognition remains essential for the Section 80-IAC tax holiday and other startup benefits.
Do you handle both recognition and the exemption?
Yes. We secure DPIIT recognition and then drive the related exemption applications, such as the Section 80-IAC certificate, end to end.
