A digital version of the final certificate of recognition is available for download, through the portal and mobile app. A request for certificate of eligibility for tax exemptions from Inter-ministerial Board will be made simultaneously by selection of a simple option.

The certificate of recognition is verifiable through the portal and mobile app by entering the Startup Recognition/ Certificate Number.

Kind Attention Mr Ramesh Abhishek Sir, If the branches of SIDBI are established within the premises/ Buildings of every District Trade and Industries Centers under the umbrella of General Manager DIC, to bypass the Commercial Banks, the morale of prospective entrepreneurs will be boosted up. At present the projects sanctioned by the Task Force Committee are rejected by Banks which is clear cut insult of Sanctioning authority, the General Manager of DTIC, who himself is a responsible Gazetted officer. Sir, this is the main reason for which the young entrepreneurs are not coming up as entrepreneurs.
