Why India?
Engineering heavy startups with India teams
Section 115BAA gives a flat 22% CIT plus surcharge and cess for an effective 25.17%, with no exemption strings attached. DPIIT recognised startups get a three year tax holiday on profits under Section 80-IAC. Filing runs through MCA21 with SPICe+ forms, DIN and DSC required.
New manufacturing entrants
Section 115BAB drops CIT to 15% plus surcharge for an effective 17.16% for new manufacturing companies set up after October 2019 and commencing production by stated cutoffs. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes stack on top in semiconductors, electronics, and pharma.
Patent developing R&D companies
Section 115BBF (Patent Box) taxes royalty income from patents developed and registered in India at 10%. Combined with a resident director (one director must satisfy the 182 day residency test) and 94 double tax treaties, India is competitive for IP licensing structures.
