Important information

START HERE is an educational tool. It is not legal, tax, accounting, financial or professional advice, and using it does not create a professional relationship of any kind.

This tool provides general educational guidance. Business, tax, legal, licensing and regulatory requirements can vary by business, location, industry and circumstances. Always verify current requirements with the appropriate official authority or a qualified professional.

Where a step mentions a registration, licence or requirement, treat it as a prompt to check rather than a statement that it applies to you. Requirements in India are set at national, state and local level and they change.
