Section 80IAC Tax Exemption Service
Premium Add-onAs a premium add-on to your Startup India registration, we provide end-to-end assistance for claiming the 100% profit deduction under Section 80IAC of the Income Tax Act. While DPIIT recognition makes you eligible for the tax holiday, a separate application (Form 10CC) must be filed with the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB) to actually claim the deduction. We handle 100% of the documentation, Form 10CC preparation & filing, IMB liaison, and ITR coordination to ensure you maximize this powerful tax benefit with zero effort.
What We Handle For You
- Eligibility Verification: Confirm your startup meets all 80IAC criteria (incorporation date, turnover, entity type)
- Form 10CC Preparation: Draft and finalize Form 10CC with accurate business details, innovation proof & financial projections
- IMB Submission & Follow-up: File application with Inter-Ministerial Board via DPIIT portal and track status
- Query Resolution: Respond to any IMB clarifications or additional document requests promptly
- ITR Filing Coordination: Ensure 80IAC certificate is received in time to claim deduction in ITR-3/ITR-5
80IAC Benefit Details
- Deduction Rate: 100% of profits & gains for 3 consecutive assessment years
- Claim Window: Any 3 consecutive years out of first 10 years from incorporation
- Tax Savings: Eliminate 25-30% corporate tax liability on profits during claimed years
- Cash Flow Impact: Reinvest saved tax amount into R&D, hiring, product development, or market expansion
