Also, the startups will be provided a panel of facilitators who will help them submit the patent without much difficulty.
No Regulatory Burden
To reduce the regulatory burden, the startups in Startup India movement will be allowed to adopt self-certification compliance with environment and labor laws. No inspection will be done in the first 3 years.
