Q2: Is a foreign national allowed to be a partner in an LLP applying for Startup India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes. Foreign nationals can enter into partnerships under the Indian LLP Act (subject to normal FDI guidelines and RBI compliances). The resulting LLP is completely eligible to apply for and receive DPIIT recognition, making it a viable route for cross-border founding teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q3: What happens if my startup’s turnover crosses the \u20b9200 crore mark mid-year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDPIIT status is tracked by financial year boundaries. If your annual turnover exceeds \u20b9200 crore (or \u20b9300 crore for Deep Tech entities) in any given financial year, your company permanently loses its “Startup” status from that specific year onward. From that point on, you cannot claim self-certification or tax benefits meant for startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q4: If my application is rejected due to an unclear innovation pitch, can I modify or reapply?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes. If your application is rejected or marked for clarification, the portal allows you to access and edit your submission details. However, it is always recommended to ensure your proof of concept, pitch deck, or product mockups are robust during the initial filing to avoid long delays or blacklisting of profiles due to repetitive low-quality entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q5: Can I apply for the Section 80-IAC Tax Holiday if my startup is registered as a Partnership Firm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. While Registered Partnership Firms can get DPIIT recognition and enjoy IP rebates or public procurement relaxations, only Private Limited Companies and LLPs are legally eligible to claim the 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC of the Income Tax Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
