Frequently asked questions
What founders ask about dpiit-recognised funding.
How do I get DPIIT recognition?
Apply free on the Startup India portal with your incorporation details and a short note on innovation. Approval typically takes a few working days.
Is DPIIT recognition mandatory for government grants?
For most central schemes — including the Startup India Seed Fund — yes. Many state and private programmes don't require it.
How long does a startup stay DPIIT-recognised?
Up to ten years from incorporation, subject to the turnover ceiling. Recognition doesn't expire mid-way as long as you stay within the criteria.
