Easy winding up of Company
Given the innovation of startups, a significant number of startups fail. It is crucial to reallocate funds and resources in the case of a business failure to more profitable ventures, hence a quick and easy approach for startups to wind-up operations has been suggested.
Startups with simple debt structures or those satisfying such conditions may be wound up within a period of 90 days following the filing of an application for winding up on a fast track basis under the terms of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Bill 2015 (“IBB”). This procedure will adhere to the idea of restricted liability.
Easier Public Procurement Norms
Currently, as of April 1, 2015, PSUs, State Governments, and the Gov’t are all procured at least 20% of their goods and services from Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSME).
The government shall exempt startups (in the manufacturing industry) from the requirement of “previous experience/turnover” without lowering the threshold for technical requirements or quality standards in order to encourage startups. The startups must also show that they have the necessary skills to carry out the project as specified by the specifications. They should also have a manufacturing facility of their own in India.
