80-IAC Startup Tax Exemption – An Overview

Section 80-IAC of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides an income tax exemption to eligible startups recognized by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Startup India initiative. Eligible startups can claim a 100% deduction of profits and gains derived from eligible business for any three consecutive financial years out of ten years from the date of incorporation, subject to the conditions prescribed under the Income Tax Act.

The objective of the 80-IAC tax exemption is to encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, employment generation, and business growth by reducing the tax burden on eligible startups. To avail this benefit, startups must satisfy the prescribed eligibility criteria, obtain DPIIT recognition, and receive approval from the relevant authorities wherever applicable.

Claiming the exemption requires proper documentation, regulatory compliance, and timely filing of the necessary applications and income tax returns.
