Startup registration is valid for 10 years from the date of incorporation. However, to maintain the benefits, the entity must continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
Registered startups can avail a 3-year tax holiday, tax exemption on capital gains, and tax benefits for investors under Section 80-IAC and Section 56 of the Income Tax Act.
The registration process typically takes 15-20 working days, depending on the completeness of documentation and the type of entity.
