Business permission or registration problem — I need help
A general business complaint — we ask one question so you reach the labour, industry or tax office that handles it.
Start here
Register the venture on the Udyam portal first, then apply for state startup recognition through the Industry Department.
Who is responsible
Startup recognition in Bihar is a state process that builds on a registered enterprise, and recognition unlocks seed support, tax and fee benefits and incubation. The application describes the innovation and the team, and recognised startups are reviewed periodically, so recognition is maintained rather than kept for life.
