Eligibility inputs
Rules used: DPIIT Notification G.S.R. 127(E) dated 19-02-2019. The innovation and scalability test is self-declared, but the other criteria must be satisfied exactly as written on the page.
What this tool shows
Enter the entity type, incorporation date, highest turnover in any financial year, whether the company was formed by splitting or reconstruction, and your self-declared innovation/scalability position.
The tool checks each criterion separately and explains why it passes or fails, so you can see which part of the notification blocks recognition.
When eligible, it also shows the recognition-stage benefits listed in the notification and the angel-tax note you asked to include.
