What is the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme?

The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) is an initiative launched by the Government of India’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) to provide financial assistance to early-stage startups for proof of concept, prototype development, product trials, market entry, and commercialization.

Under this scheme, eligible startups can receive seed funding of up to ₹20 lakh as a grant and up to ₹50 lakh as debt or convertible debentures through recognized incubators. The scheme aims to nurture innovation, create employment opportunities, and strengthen the Indian startup ecosystem by supporting businesses that are innovative, scalable, and technology-driven.
