A startup may get tax exemption under section 80 IAC of the Income Tax Act after receiving recognition. After receiving approval for tax exemption, a startup can take advantage of tax holidays for three consecutive fiscal years throughout its first 10 years of existence.
India is the world's third largest startup ecosystem, with three to four new enterprises launching daily, making it the base with the most rapid expansion. Not only does a startup achieve the entrepreneur's objective, but it also employs millions of people and helps to the nation's development.
By introducing Startup India Scheme, the Indian government has made steps to boost the ease of doing business and provide an enabling and stimulating environment for these entrepreneurs.
