Why Startup India Registration is Important
The Government of India’s Startup India initiative empowers new businesses by promoting innovation, simplification, and growth. Getting registered under the Startup India Scheme gives entrepreneurs formal recognition and access to key benefits such as funding support, tax exemptions, and eased regulatory compliance.
Startup India registration boosts your company’s visibility while giving your business the legal edge to qualify for government tenders, investor networks, and global opportunities.
About Startup India Scheme
Launched in 2016, the Startup India Scheme is a flagship program by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) aimed at turning India into a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. The scheme provides financial aid, tax relief, intellectual property benefits, and simplified regulations to recognized startups.
Agarwal Avinash & Co helps startups complete their registration under Startup India by preparing documentation, verifying eligibility, and filing applications accurately on the official portal.
