For DPIIT recognition you need the certificate of incorporation or registration, entity PAN, details of directors or partners, a clear description of the innovation and scalability, and ideally a pitch deck, website or product video. Supporting proof such as patents, funding letters or awards strengthens the application.

Frequently asked questions
Is a pitch deck compulsory?
Portal requirements change, but a pitch deck, website or video is strongly recommended because it helps the evaluator understand the business.
Do I need a patent to get recognition?
No. Patents help, but recognition is based on innovation or scalability, which can be shown without IP filings.
Are financial statements needed?
Not usually for recognition, but turnover details are declared, and financial statements are needed later for 80-IAC applications.
Can a partnership firm upload its deed?
A registered partnership firm submits its registration certificate, and the deed may be requested as supporting documentation.
