What is needed to access grants and subsidies
DPIIT Recognition
Mandatory for Startup India scheme benefits, patent waivers and access to several central grant programmes.
Registered Entity
A company, LLP or registered proprietorship is required — informal businesses are ineligible.
GST Registration
Most government grant schemes require active GST registration as proof of formal business.
Audited Accounts
Financial statements showing genuine business activity and expenditure are required for most grants.
Project Proposal
A specific project proposal with objectives, timeline, deliverables and budget per scheme format.
Compliance Track Record
Clean tax filings, no pending defaults and active registrations — ministries check compliance before disbursing.
Most eligible businesses never claim subsidies they are entitled to. State subsidies on stamp duty, electricity tariff, capex and employment can save lakhs — but must be applied for within prescribed timelines.

Frequently asked questions
Key central government schemes include SIDBI Fund of Funds, Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), BIRAC grants for biotech startups, DST grants for R&D, and MSME Technology Upgradation Fund. State governments offer additional subsidies on capex, electricity and employment.
SISFS provides financial assistance of up to Rs. 20 lakhs for proof of concept and Rs. 50 lakhs for market entry to DPIIT-recognised startups through selected incubators. Applications are made through Startup India-empanelled incubators.
DPIIT recognition certifies your entity as a startup under the Startup India programme. It provides income tax exemption for 3 years, capital gains exemption, self-certification under labour laws and access to scheme benefits not available to unrecognised startups.
State subsidies vary by state but commonly include stamp duty waiver on property purchase, electricity tariff subsidy, employment subsidy (per new hire), capital expenditure subsidy and GST reimbursement. Most must be claimed within 6–12 months of eligible expenditure.
Government grants are generally non-repayable provided the conditions of the grant are met — completing the project, filing utilisation certificates and maintaining the business for a specified period. Subsidies may require refund if business is wound up within a lock-in period.
