      For availing various benefits (except tax of the Startup India Action Plan), an entity would be required to be recognized as a Startup by applying on Startup India Mobile App/ Portal.In order to obtain tax benefits, a Startup shall be required to be certified as an eligible
      business from the Inter-Ministerial Board of Certification.

      A Startup incorporated between April 1, 2016 and April 1, 2019 shall be eligible to obtain tax benefits proposed under the Finance Bill 2016.

    Im looking out for government support in my startup. What would be the qualification i need to have, with my ecommerce, so i can avail the benefits of a startup under GOI.

      This is an Excert from the GOI. Based on the below requirement, your business of any nature in the point “c” can be registered as a startup.

      An entity (Private Limited Company or Registered Partnership Firm or Limited Liability Partnership) shall be considered a “Startup” –
      a) Upto 5 years from the date of its incorporation/ registration, and
      b) If its turnover for any of the financial years has not exceeded INR 25 crore, and
      c) It is working towards innovation, development, deployment or commercialization of new products, processes or services driven by technology or intellectual property.
      The entity should not have been formed by splitting up or reconstruction of a business already in existence.
      A proprietorship or a public limited company is not eligible as startup. A one-person company, being a private limited company is entitled to be recognized as a ‘startup’.
      For additional information, refer notification G.S.R. 180(E) dated February 17, 2016.

    Why i should go for registering my startup. There are certainly mainly rules and regulations that are present in the system of india. But is there ‘any benefits’ i can get if i will register the business as a limited company?

      Hello Gerald, Certainly there are many benefits that you can accrue in registering your startup business in india. Once you are paying taxes, you can get the real benefits in return from the government. You can seek for loans,funds and many more from the government. There are many schemes from the government for startups. You can check with Startup mitra website where you can see the benefits. You can also register for incubator programmes and get closer to Investor communities through the schemes of Government. The government is particular in raising funds to startups and give the solutions for their betterment.
