To go about registering in the scheme: recognitions shall be through a Startup India portal or mobile app. Note: However, in order to obtain tax and IPR related benefits, a Startup shall be required to be certified as a business which involves innovation, development, deployment or commercialization of new products, processes or services driven by technology or intellectual property by the Inter-Ministerial Board of Certification, which comprises of the Joint Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, representative of Department of Science and Technology, and representative of Department of Biotechnology. For the purposes of making applications for being recognized as a startup and for availing certification from the Inter – Ministerial Board, entities will be required to submit a simple application with any of following documents: For the purposes of making applications for being recognized as a startup and for availing certification from the Inter – Ministerial Board, entities will be required to submit a simple application with any of following documents: 1.

Part B: Before Business Incorporation Decide on the type of entity that you want to register your startup as since your startup idea belongs to transport sector, and I believe, you will have social commerce at the place, in that case, you will be liable for sector-specific regulations and compliance as well.

Steps that are involved (Company Secretary will handle these): 1. Digital Signature Certificate and Director's Identification Number for the directors 2. Name Application 3.
