DPIIT recognition is the Government of India certifying that your entity qualifies as a startup. It is not an incorporation and it is not a licence. It is the gateway credential that every other benefit on this page sits behind, from the 80-IAC tax holiday to seed funding to tender access.
Roughly seven in ten applications are rejected, and almost never because the applicant was ineligible. They fail because the innovation description reads like a company brochure. Writing that section properly is the work. That is what you are paying us for.
No. There is no government fee for the Certificate of Recognition or the Certificate of Eligibility. Our fee is a professional fee for preparing, verifying and tracking your application.
DPIIT requires the application to be filed by the startup itself using its own details, mobile number and email. We prepare the complete file, draft the innovation narrative, verify every document, and walk you through submission step by step. You click submit under your own credentials, which is also what protects your application from being rejected on procedural grounds.
BHASKAR is the Bharat Startup Knowledge Access Registry launched by DPIIT in September 2024. It issues you a BHASKAR ID and a profile that makes you discoverable to investors, mentors and corporates. Registration is free and we set it up as part of this service rather than charging for it separately.
