FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which 3 years should I pick?+
Pick the 3 consecutive years where you expect the highest profits. Most startups use years 5-7 once they're past the loss-making phase. You can carry forward losses from earlier years and set them off later.
What's the eligibility for DPIIT recognition?+
Entity must be a Pvt Ltd / LLP / Partnership; turnover ≤ ₹100 Cr in any FY since incorporation; not formed by splitting/reconstruction; and working towards innovation, development or scalable business model. Apply via Startup India portal.
Does MAT/AMT apply during the holiday?+
Yes — but Sec 115JB (MAT) for companies and 115JC (AMT) for LLPs/firms apply at lower rates and the deduction itself is added back. Effective tax during holiday years is usually 9-15% of book profits, not zero.
