Hidden Tax Benefits for Indian Startups to Boost Growth 🇮🇳🚀

Namaste! 🙏
Many Indian startups overlook valuable tax benefits as per the Indian Income Tax Act and other relevant acts, leaving lakhs or even crores of rupees unclaimed. 💰📉
Example 1: R&D tax benefits (Section 35 of Income Tax Act) 🧪🔬

Innovative Indian startups can claim tax deductions for their research and development activities, allowing them to reinvest in their business and accelerate growth. 💡🚀
Example 2: Carry forward losses (Section 72 of Income Tax Act) 💼📈

Don't let initial business losses hold you back!

Carry forward those losses for up to 8 years to offset future profits, easing the burden during expansion and growth phases. 🌱📊
