Up to Rs. 20 Lakhs as grant — Startup India (DPIIT), read 2026-09-19

What to know

This is cash, not credits, and the ₹20 lakh portion is a grant you do not repay - for proof of concept, prototype or product trials. The larger ₹50 lakh portion is debt or convertible instruments for going to market. The two-year age limit is strict, so apply early.
