Tax and compliance for startups & founders
The right entity on day one, DPIIT recognition and its tax holiday, a ROC calendar nobody misses, and books an investor can read at the first data-room request.
A startup accumulates compliance faster than revenue. Incorporation brings the ROC calendar; the first hire brings TDS and PF; the first investor brings a data room that wants clean books and a cap table that reconciles to the MCA record.
We set the entity up correctly, secure DPIIT recognition and the exemptions it unlocks, run the ROC and tax calendar on retainer, and keep monthly books and MIS that answer an investor’s questions before they are asked.
What you need handled
Private Limited, LLP or OPC
Investors need a company; a two-founder services firm may be better as an LLP. The choice is reversible but expensive to reverse.
DPIIT recognition and 80-IAC
Recognition is quick; the three-year tax holiday needs a separate application and a real innovation case.
ROC calendar on retainer
AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1 and board minutes. Late fees are per day and directors can be disqualified.
Founder pay structured
Salary, dividend or loan each have a different tax and ROC consequence. We pick the mix.

Frequently asked
Private Limited or LLP?+
If you will raise equity, issue ESOPs or want to be acquired, Private Limited. If you are a founder-run services business that will stay closely held, an LLP is cheaper to run. Our comparison tool prices both for five years.
What does DPIIT recognition actually give me?+
Self-certification under labour and environment laws, faster patent and trademark examination at reduced fees, access to the Fund of Funds and Seed Fund Scheme, and eligibility to apply for the 80-IAC tax holiday and angel-tax exemption.
What are the mandatory annual filings for a Private Limited company?+
Audited accounts, AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM, MGT-7 within 60 days, DIR-3 KYC for every director, ADT-1 on auditor appointment, plus the income tax return and, if applicable, GST and TDS returns.
How should I pay myself as a founder?+
Usually a modest salary with proper TDS, since dividends are taxed twice and director loans attract section 185 restrictions. The right mix depends on the company’s tax position and your slab.
Do you help with investor due diligence?+
Yes. Monthly closed books, a reconciled cap table, share certificates and statutory registers kept current are the standard data-room asks. Retainer clients have them ready by default.
