Common questions
Do I need to be incorporated to get a startup grant in India?
For many, yes. A registered company (Pvt Ltd or LLP) is the gateway to DPIIT Startup Recognition, which in turn unlocks state seed grants such as TANSEED and many central schemes. But even before incorporating you can usually access cloud credits and some state idea-stage grants, so you are rarely starting from zero.
What does DPIIT recognition unlock?
DPIIT Startup Recognition has no government fee and is done online. It unlocks the 80-IAC income-tax holiday, self-certification under labour and environment laws, the IPR fast-track with fee rebates, and state schemes that ask for it, such as TANSEED.
Can I get a grant with only Udyam registration?
Udyam (MSME) registration has no fee and is done online. It opens MSME schemes, subsidies and credit-linked programmes. On its own it is not enough for most central startup grants, which expect company incorporation and often DPIIT recognition, but it is a strong first step that costs nothing.
Does this readiness check cost anything?
No. It costs nothing and needs no signup. It estimates what you can apply for from the milestones you select, then shows the one registration that opens the most. For a ranked, scored list of specific grants matched to your startup, you can sign up at app.incubateer.com.
