- Finance minister has announced that angel tax will not be applicable on startups that are registered with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade(DPIIT).

- The government has also decided to set up a dedicated cell under Central Board of direct taxes(CBDT) for addressing the problems faced by startups.
