In January, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had unveiled a slew of incentives to boost startup enterprises like offering a tax holiday and inspector raj-free regime for three years, capital gains tax exemption and Rs. 10,000 crores corpus to fund them. A self-certification scheme was also announced recently in respect of nine labour and environment laws.
Government has also announced a slew of initiatives in the Budget for startups, including 100 per cent tax exemption for three years and allocation of Rs. 500 crores for SC/ST and women entrepreneurs, aimed at facilitating growth for these new businesses.
DIPP said it will also undertake production of publicity and promotional material on a regular basis, including brochures, ready reckoners, leaflets and posters, which will be circulated and distributed to prospective investors, industry media, embassies and high commissions.
"DIPP proposes to appoint a creative agency for designing and production of the required creative and publicity material and to provide a creative vision and strategy for taking forward the campaign to make India a favoured investment destination for startups based on innovative business," it added.
