What this service covers
Optional readiness guidance on the applicant entity, innovation/scalability narrative and supporting information for its own recognition application. The startup uses its own account, email/mobile and makes the official submission. Zeofox does not claim to be a DPIIT-appointed agency. Recognition, tax-exemption approval and funding are different decisions.
Who this is for
- Existing startups requesting optional application-readiness guidance.
✓
Included in scope
- Review of the business narrative and published eligibility route.
- Supporting-information readiness and presentation guidance.
- Guidance on the official applicant-led application steps.
−
Not included
- Government recognition fees, authorised-agent claims or guaranteed recognition.
- Tax-exemption application, grants, investor funding and pitch representation unless separately scoped.
- Fabricated innovation, turnover or eligibility evidence.
THE AGREED OUTPUT
What you can expect
- Agreed readiness/narrative review and official application route guidance.
Authority-issued certificates or acknowledgements are shared only when actually received. Final scope is recorded in your accepted quotation.
GET YOUR RECORDS READY
Your document checklist
Requirements depend on the entity, signatory, premises and work selected. Share only relevant records in the private order workspace.
ENTITY
- Incorporation/registration evidence, applicant contact and relevant ownership facts.
BUSINESS NARRATIVE
- Genuine product/service, innovation/scalability explanation and supporting materials.
READINESS
- Applicable entity-age/turnover and other eligibility facts; applicant-controlled account.
Never share account passwords, DSC PINs, private keys or OTPs in a public enquiry. Not every readiness item is a universal statutory upload requirement.
ITEMISED, NOT HIDDEN
Government charges & quotation rules
Custom scope — reviewed quotation
DPIIT states that its recognition/eligibility certificates have no Ministry application fee. Any optional guidance fee is separate; the startup files using its own details. No tax-exemption or funding entitlement is implied.
- Professional assistance
- Agreed after review
- Government / statutory component
- Confirmed for your application / period
- Provider / other charges
- As separately agreed
- Tax & discount
- Applied by the current rate card and confirmed quotation
What affects the quote?
- Review the current recognition criteria rather than hard-coding old turnover/age thresholds.
- Scope readiness guidance only; other applications need separate engagement.
These rules explain the scope; the server uses your selected service and the operator's configured prices. Unknown duties are not treated as zero. Incomplete/provisional quotes require confirmation before payable acceptance.
