Start-up India Initiative – Boosting the Indian Economy
Spread the love

Prime Minister Narendra Modi propelled an initiative that promises to bring growth to the start-up ecosystem. This flagship initiative that goes by the name of the Start-up India initiative aims to boost the Indian economy by giving new entrepreneurs opportunities. It, in turn, creates employment and adds to the nation’s wealth. It is based on the three pillars – issuing appropriate funding support to the start-ups, providing Industry-Academia partnership and growth. The initiative was hell-bent on restraining land permissions, license raj, environmental clearances, etc. This initiative is seen as the next big thing that would help capable talents grow their ideas, which help to put India on the map of strong economies.

While addressing the nation, the prime minister announced the start-up India campaign on 15th August 2015 at Red Fort, New Delhi. This campaign was introduced under India’s Government as an initiative to develop 75 start-ups support hubs in India. The Start-up India scheme was launched on 16th January 2016 to support the start-ups in India by providing bank finances, inaugurated by the former finance minister, Arun Jaitley.

The major objective of the start-up India Initiative is to discard some of the restrictive policies of the state government, which include license raj, land permissions, foreign investment proposals, and environmental clearances. The start-up India initiative is based on the three pillars, which include providing funding support incentives to the start-ups, simplification, and handholding, and providing Industry-Academia partnership and incubation. The government will help support the new ideas and capabilities of young and aspiring minds and implement their idea to grow. The success of start-up India will eventually help grow the Indian economy and emerge as a strong nation.

What is a Start-Up?

The Department for promotion of Industry and internal trade issued a notification on February 19, 2019, that defines a start-up. A start-up is;

  1. An entity that is in existence for up to 10 years from the date of its incorporation. Such an entity must be incorporated in India as
  2. A Private limited company as per the Companies Act, 2013
  3. A Partnership Firm under section 59 of the Partnership Act, 1932 or
  4. A Limited Liability Company under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008
  5. An entity which has a turnover less than Rs. 25 crores during any financial years since its incorporation
  6. Such an entity must be working towards innovation and development of goods and services or processes.
  7. Such an entity must have the potential to create wealth and employment generation.

A business entity shall cease to exist as a start-up after it completes seven years from the date of incorporation or if such start-ups’ turnover exceeds Rs. 25 crores in any of the financial year. An entity that has been created by splitting the existing business will not be considered a start-up.

Perquisites of Start-up India Initiative

  1. Exemption in tax on Investment above Fair Market Value – To obtain tax benefits, a start-up must have acquired the inter-ministerial board certificate constituted by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). If such recognition is obtained by uploading false information or acquired without uploading the relevant documents, the recognition certificate shall be revoked immediately without any prior notice. Such approval will be acquired through the online application via a mobile app or portal set up by the DIPP.
  2. Faster exit for the start-up – with the start-up India initiative, the winding up of companies is possible in an easy and hassle-free manner. The star-up can be wound up within 90 days as against 180 days for other companies. An insolvency professional will be selected for liquidating the assets and paying the creditor within six months of making an application to exit. Thus, the start-ups are also known as Fast track firms as their winding process is quite quick.
  3. Patent Application and IPR Protection – start-up India initiative includes the fast-tracking of start-up patent application. It provides an 80% rebate in filing of trademarks and patents as compared to other companies. The government will support the start-ups by bearing their facilitation cost and providing high-quality intellectual property services and resources to commercialize their IPRs.
  4. Corpus Funds – The government has created a corpus fund of Rs. 10,000crore to provide equity funding support to innovative enterprises. Such funds will be managed by SIDBI as the government has contributed towards the capital of SIDBI, which will further be invested in the start-ups.

Other Perquisites

  • Three years of Tax Exemption – To facilitate the business’s growth, the profits earned by the recognized start-ups are exempted from income tax for three consecutive years. This has been done to cater to the working capital requirements of the start-ups in the initial years.
  • Self-certification – with the view to minimize the regulatory burden, the start-ups are allowed to self certify themselves and their compliance under six Labor Laws and three Environmental Laws. This self-certification is allowed for five years from the date of its incorporation so that they can concentrate on their core business and keep low-cost compliance.
  • Relaxation in Public Procurement Norms – All PSUs, ministries, all the government departments has been authorized to ease the public procurement norms. Therefore, a start-up can avail of various exemptions in experience requirements in the government tenders, earnest money deposit, and prior turnovers. Now, the start-ups can be listed as sellers on the e-Procurement Portal, which is the Indian government’s largest marketplace.

The start-ups are beginning to spread benefits beyond traditional locations into regional economies. It is the start-up that helps create new jobs in any country as they are the core centers of innovation and help enhance employment opportunities.
