3 perksThe IncorpX Grants Directory tracks startup funding programs across India: central government schemes (Startup India Seed Fund, NIDHI, BIRAC, MeitY programs), state startup policies, bank and CSR programs, accelerators and early-stage investors. Each listing covers the funding amount, equity impact, eligibility conditions, required documents and the application process.
Listings are curated from official program pages and reviewed by the IncorpX compliance team. Many schemes expect prerequisites such as company incorporation, DPIIT recognition, MSME (Udyam) registration or GST registration. IncorpX provides assistance for these registrations and for organising grant application paperwork, so founders can reach the application stage prepared.
IncorpX is a private platform operated by a private company. It is not a government department, agency or official portal, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government body or of any organisation, incubator, accelerator, investor or partner listed in this directory. All program names, logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
This directory is compiled from publicly available official sources and is provided for general information only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax or professional advice. Funding amounts, eligibility criteria, required documents, deadlines and availability are determined by each program authority and change with every cycle, so the details shown here may be incomplete or out of date. Always confirm the current terms on the official program source before you apply or take any decision.
IncorpX charges no fee for the information in this directory and does not collect, process, lodge or submit any application on your behalf. Applications are made by you, in your own name, directly with the respective program authority. IncorpX provides assistance only for application preparation and for related registrations such as company incorporation, DPIIT recognition, MSME (Udyam) and GST. Eligibility, approval, disbursement and selection rest solely with the respective program authority, and IncorpX makes no representation or guarantee as to any outcome.
This directory tracks 595+ active programs: central government schemes such as the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (up to Rs. 20 lakh grant plus Rs. 50 lakh via convertible debentures), NIDHI PRAYAS (up to Rs. 10 lakh for prototypes) and BIRAC BIG (up to Rs. 50 lakh for biotech), along with state programs, accelerators and private funding programs. Use the filters to narrow by sector, stage, state and deadline.
Most government grants are equity-free: the government does not take shares in your company. Some programs combine a grant with debt or convertible instruments for later stages, and accelerator or VC programs listed here may involve equity. Every listing states its funding type and equity impact clearly.
Not for all of them. Central schemes such as the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme require DPIIT recognition, while many state programs, competitions and private programs do not. Use the DPIIT filter to see which is which. IncorpX provides assistance for DPIIT recognition applications if you need it.
Timelines vary by program. Incubator-routed schemes such as SISFS typically take around 2 months from application to decision, while national calls such as BIRAC BIG can take 3 to 4 months including technical review. Each listing shows the expected decision timeline where the program publishes one.
IncorpX provides assistance for grant application preparation: structuring your proposal, organising documents and completing prerequisite registrations such as DPIIT recognition, MSME registration or company incorporation. Applications are always submitted in your name with the respective program authority, and selection decisions rest entirely with that authority.
Our team reviews listings against official program pages and updates amounts, deadlines and statuses as new calls are announced. Every figure shown here is informational; the program authority remains the authoritative source.
A grant is non-repayable money awarded for a defined purpose, such as building a prototype. A subsidy reduces a cost you already incur, such as interest or patent fees. Seed funding from investors is capital in exchange for equity. This directory labels every program by type so you can compare them on the same page.
IncorpX provides assistance for the registrations most schemes expect (incorporation, DPIIT recognition, MSME, GST) and helps you organise a complete, well-documented application. Submission always happens in your name with the program authority.
