The quoted fee of ₹4,999/- is a professional / facilitation fee charged by NoLegalPaisa (operated by Kaahmuchee Solution Private Limited) towards consultation, documentation, profile creation and filing of the DPIIT Recognition application on the Startup India Portal. It covers only the deliverables expressly listed in the pricing plan above and nothing else.
The indicated timeline of 3–7 working days is indicative only and begins after receipt of complete, accurate and verified documents and information. Actual processing time depends entirely on the DPIIT / Startup India Portal, government workload, accuracy of submissions and any clarifications sought by the Department. NoLegalPaisa does not control and cannot guarantee government processing times or the outcome of any application.
DPIIT Recognition is granted at the sole discretion of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. NoLegalPaisa does not and cannot guarantee approval, recognition, grant of any certificate, tax exemption, funding or benefit. Our role is limited to professional facilitation and accurate filing on your behalf.
The client is solely responsible for the accuracy, authenticity and legality of all documents and information provided. Recognition may be revoked by the authorities for false declarations, exceeding the ₹100 crore turnover limit, crossing the 10-year age limit, non-innovative activity or regulatory non-compliance.

DPIIT stands for the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. It is the authority that issues the Startup India Recognition Certificate to eligible startups.
No. The DPIIT does not charge any government fee for recognition itself. You only pay a professional fee for facilitation. Costs such as company incorporation, DSC, stamp duty or IP filings are separate and depend on your situation.
Typically 3–7 working days once a complete and accurate application is filed. It can extend to 2–4 weeks if the Department seeks clarifications or there is a backlog.
No. Only a Private Limited Company, LLP or a Registered Partnership Firm is eligible. Sole proprietorships and unregistered partnerships cannot obtain DPIIT recognition.
Recognition is valid for 10 years from the date of incorporation, as long as your turnover stays below ₹100 crore and you continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
Yes, provided the company is incorporated in India and Indian promoters hold 51% or more of the shareholding. Entities incorporated outside India are not eligible.
