These terms govern the verification fee and any Startup India service you avail through BharathInCorp. They apply alongside our general Terms of Service.

The fee of Rs. 999 plus applicable Goods and Services Tax, amounting to Rs. 1179 in total, payable at the time of submission, is a Registration and Document Verification Fee.
It covers assessment of your eligibility against the prevailing DPIIT framework, verification of your incorporation and statutory documents, preparation of your application file, and assignment of a dedicated case manager.
This is not a government fee.
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade does not levy any charge for the Certificate of Recognition or the Certificate of Eligibility. Any amount paid to BharathInCorp is a professional fee for preparation, verification and advisory work performed by us.
Where a scheme does carry a statutory or third party cost, for example certification body charges under ISO or ZED, or statutory filing fees for patents and trademarks, those costs are separate from our professional fee and are payable by you directly or reimbursed to us at actuals.
Professional fees for the specific service you subsequently choose to avail, including but not limited to Section 80-IAC tax exemption, Government e-Marketplace onboarding, ZED or ISO certification, state startup scheme applications, intellectual property filings and seed fund application support, are quoted separately following verification.
No such fee becomes payable until you have received the quotation in writing and confirmed that you wish to proceed. Work on the service commences only after that confirmation and receipt of the applicable fee.
The Registration and Document Verification Fee is non-refundable once verification has commenced.
It is adjustable in full against the professional fee for the first service availed within 90 days of payment. If you choose not to proceed with any service, or if our assessment concludes that you are not eligible, the fee is retained against the verification work already performed and we will tell you plainly what would need to change for you to qualify.
A tax invoice is issued for every payment received.
DPIIT requires applications to be filed by the startup itself using its own details, mobile number and email. We prepare your file and guide you through submission under your own credentials.
We prepare your application file, draft supporting narratives including the innovation description, verify your documents, and guide you through submission. We coordinate responses to queries raised by the concerned authority.
We do not create, draft, fabricate or sign any document, annexure or declaration that is required to be issued or attested by you, your auditors, or a third party. We will guide you on how to prepare such documents correctly.
Approval of any government application rests solely with the concerned authority. No consultant can guarantee an outcome.
This applies in particular to Section 80-IAC applications, which are decided by an Inter-Ministerial Board, and to seed fund applications, which are decided by approved incubators. We will give you an honest assessment of the strength of your case before you commit to any fee.
BharathInCorp is an independent professional services firm. We are not an agent, franchise or authorised representative of DPIIT, the Startup India initiative, or any government department.
DPIIT has publicly stated that it has appointed no agency, representative or franchise in connection with startup recognition. We make no claim to the contrary and you should treat any firm that does so with caution.
Documents you upload are stored securely and used solely for the purpose of verification and application preparation. We do not share them with any party other than the concerned government authority or portal in the course of your application, or with a professional engaged on your matter.
Where an application does not proceed to payment, the documents uploaded are deleted automatically thirty days after upload. Where an application proceeds, documents are retained under our standard client record policy for as long as required by applicable law.
You may request deletion of your documents at any time by writing to support@bharathincorp.com, subject to any retention obligation imposed on us by law.
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information and documents you provide. An entity formed by splitting up or reconstructing an existing business is excluded from the startup definition, and a false declaration on that or any other criterion can result in rejection, de-recognition and consequences under applicable law.
We verify what we reasonably can. We cannot verify facts known only to you.
Our services are provided on the basis of G.S.R. 108(E), notified on 4 February 2026, which supersedes the notification dated 19 February 2019. Government schemes, thresholds, eligibility criteria and benefits change from time to time.
Where a change affects work already in progress on your matter, we will inform you and, where the change materially alters the scope, agree a revised position with you before continuing.
