/ Sector-specific issues for Manufacturing Startups

Where general-purpose CA misses depth.

Manufacturing Startups face specific tax + regulatory issues that general-purpose CA often doesn't address well. Our specialist practice covers:

Section 115BAB (15% rate for new manufacturing): Must be new company post Oct 2019 + commence production by extended date + not reconstruction + no prior P&M.
PLI eligibility across 14 sectors: Sector-specific eligibility + minimum investment + sales thresholds.
State-level incentives: Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh industrial policies - land + capex + SGST + electricity + stamp duty + registration.
Customs duty optimisation + PMP (Phased Manufacturing Programme): Specific HSN-wise phased duty increases to encourage local manufacturing.
Section 10AA SEZ vs 115BAB: Mutually exclusive - 115BAB forfeits 10AA. Decision analysis.
Imported component vs local sourcing: FTA preferential rates (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, UK CETA) for imported components.
Export under LUT bond: Zero-rated supply + CGST / SGST ITC refund.
Pollution Control Board + Factory licence + Shops & Establishment: Mandatory state-level approvals.
