Check eligibilityClear answers to common questions about central & state government grants, seed funds, DPIIT eligibility, and application procedures.
Indian founders can claim central government schemes like Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) up to ₹50 Lakhs, NIDHI-PRAYAS up to ₹10 Lakhs, and BIRAC BIG for Biotech up to ₹50 Lakhs. State government policies (Karnataka ELEVATE, Tamil Nadu TANSEED, Gujarat Startup Policy, Kerala KSUM) offer additional non-dilutive seed grants from ₹10 Lakhs to ₹50 Lakhs.
Eligibility is defined by entity type (Pvt Ltd, LLP), entity age (usually ≤ 2–10 years), DPIIT status, sector focus, and state registration. FundMatch India evaluates your startup profile against all official clauses line-by-line in under 2 minutes.
Yes! Schemes like NIDHI-PRAYAS, SISFS, and TANSEED are engineered specifically for early-stage prototype development, proof-of-concept (PoC), and market validation before commercial revenue.
While central schemes like SISFS require official DPIIT recognition, many state incubator grants and regional grand challenges accept early-stage entities prior to DPIIT registration. We highlight DPIIT requirements explicitly for every scheme.
