Startup India Registration comes up with a lot of questions, especially for early-stage, innovative businesses meeting the eligibility criteria dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
What counts as 'innovative' for eligibility?

Does recognition give tax exemption automatically?
