Form 10IC - Section 80-IAC Tax Deduction for Eligible Startups

Simplify Section 80-IAC Compliance with Paperform

Form 10IC is a critical filing requirement for eligible startups in India seeking to claim tax deductions under Section 80-IAC of the Income Tax Act. If your startup has received DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) recognition, this form enables you to report business nature, shareholding patterns, and key financial details to the Income Tax Department.

Managing regulatory compliance manually—especially with complex forms like 10IC—can be time-consuming and error-prone. Paperform transforms this process into a streamlined digital workflow that saves time, reduces mistakes, and keeps your startup focused on growth.

Why Paperform for Form 10IC?

Paperform's doc-style editor lets chartered accountants, company secretaries, and startup founders build branded, compliant forms that capture all required information—from DPIIT certificate details to shareholding patterns and business activity descriptions. Conditional logic ensures that only relevant fields appear based on your startup's structure, while calculation fields can auto-compute shareholding percentages and financial ratios.

Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automate what happens next: route completed forms to your CA for review, update internal compliance trackers in Airtable or Google Sheets, send confirmation emails with next steps, and maintain an audit trail of all filings. This keeps your compliance workflow organised and transparent without manual follow-ups.
