We are very happy with the services…

We are very happy with the services provided by AARAMBH Agency. They helped us register our Private Limited Company within a short time and guided us at every step. Their charges are also very reasonable compared to other agencies. As we were new to this, they explained everything clearly and supported us throughout the process. Even after registration, they are still in touch with us and guiding us whenever needed. We really appreciate their support, professionalism, and friendly approach. Highly recommended for anyone planning to start a company 😊🤝

FAQ

DPIIT questions

Didn't find yours? Ask directly. A real person replies.

All FAQs
Is DPIIT recognition the same as the tax exemption?

No. Recognition comes first. The 3-year tax holiday (earlier section 80-IAC, now section 140 of the Income-tax Act, 2025) is a separate approval, for companies and LLPs incorporated before 1 April 2030.

Did the criteria change in 2026?

Yes. DPIIT raised the turnover limit to ₹200 crore, added a deep-tech category (20 years, ₹300 crore) and opened recognition to cooperatives.
