๐Ÿ“Œ Kya Hai Section 80-IAC?

Section 80-IAC ek tax benefit deta hai un startups ko jo eligible businesses mein kaam kar rahe hain. Agar aapka startup eligible hai, toh aap apne profits par 100% tax deduction le sakte ho — kisi bhi 3 continuous saal tak, pehle 10 saal ke andar.


๐Ÿ“… Budget 2025 Update

Jo deadline pehle March 2025 thi eligible startups ke liye (to get this benefit), usko extend kar ke 2030 kar diya gaya hai. So, ab naye startups jo 2030 tak register honge, woh bhi iska benefit le sakte hain.
