🏭 Special Considerations for Your Setup

  1. Manufacturing on Rented Building + New Machinery

    • Section 80‑IAC doesn’t restrict rented premises or purchase of new machines—completely fine.

  2. Export‑oriented

    • Your export focus makes you eligible for both GST zero rating and RoDTEP.

  3. Employment of ~250 female workers

    • While laudable, direct Startup scheme tax breaks don’t include extra incentives for female workforce. However, state-specific schemes may offer additional benefits—you could explore those with local labor or MSME departments.
