India has become a major startup hub, with over 1,200 startups founded in 2015. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi account for most startup activity and funding. The government is taking steps to support startups through policies around taxation, funding, and incubation. Nasscom has recommended 10 points to further help startups, including defining what a tech startup is, simplifying compliance, and enabling access to risk capital. Several states like Karnataka and Punjab have also announced startup funds. Many Indian startups are becoming unicorns, achieving over $1 billion valuations, and some have seen acquisition by major companies.

7. GOI

11. Nasscom has submitted a 10-point recommendation to the Govt.
1. Define: Put a definition for government on what a tech startup is, what it includes
and what not. There should be clarity between startup and any LLP that is
incorporated.
2. Taxation: Build an integrated approach to tax that helps mitigate tax liability from
TDS, Service Tax, VAT, MAT, Income Tax , ESOP, Angel Tax , barriers to ESOPs under the
corporate tax. There is lack of clarity around taxation in startup.
3. Compliance: Simpler and easier to file, monitor and verify – reliance on self-
declarations instead of audits and inspections, Softex approval and waiver for low
amounts.
4. Funding: Enable access to risk capital and debt funding, support increase in share of
domestic funds in alternative investment funds (AIF)and FDIs.
5. Angel Investment: Align India’s Angel Framework with Global Practices in terms of
tax credits, treatment of capital gains and more.

12. Continued…
• 6. Online payments: A lot of online payment startups face the challenge
with two factor authentication system. Also, there is lack of properly
defined SLAs for refund of transactions declined. It needs more
transparency.
7. Incubation: There should be an Incubator assistance program that
supports physical and virtual incubation, government should be catalyst
here, apart from the private ones.
8. Enablement: Enabling market access and training grants.
9. Strategic Sectors: Providing support in terms of IPR acquisition in
sectors of electronics and defense.
10. Branding: India should be branded as a Startup Nation. This will not
only break the world’s view about it as an outsourcing destination, but an
innovation destination, bringing more funds from keen investors.
