Startup India Registration
Startup India Registration :
The Startup India Scheme is a Government of India effort aimed at stimulating the development and innovation of products and services and the creation of jobs throughout the country. One of the scheme's objectives has been to make it easier for startups to register in India by lowering regulatory burdens and allowing them to focus on their core business while reducing compliance costs and providing multiple benefits, In addition to the massive networking opportunities offered by the Government of India's bi-annual startup festivals held both domestically and internationally.
The Government has initiated a Startup India scheme to promote innovations for the growth of businesses. By forming a business entity under the StartUp India initiative, startups can take advantage of several incentives provided by the DIPP registration. This strategy aims to turn India into a job provider rather than a job seeker. A startup must also be involved in activities to improve or innovate existing products or services and create jobs or money. Only an entity that meets the Government's eligibility criteria can apply for registration under the scheme by submitting an online application form using a mobile application or through a portal set up by the Government.
