Short answerTo claim 80-IAC you must be a DPIIT-recognised startup, incorporated as a Private Limited company or LLP within the government’s notified window, with turnover under ₹100 crore, and you must get IMB approval. The holiday then applies to any 3 of your first 10 years.

Eligibility checklist

DPIIT-recognised startup
Pvt Ltd or LLP (not a partnership for 80-IAC)
Incorporated within the notified window
Turnover under ₹100 crore

Confirm the current incorporation cut-off date.

The IMB step

Even if you tick every box, the holiday only applies once the Inter-Ministerial Board approves your application.
