How to Apply for Assam Scale-Up Grant — up to ₹50L for MASI Startups

The selection process for the Assam Scale-Up Grant involves several key stages, ensuring a thorough evaluation of each application.

1. MASI Registration: The initial step requires startups to register on the Startup Assam Portal and successfully obtain their My Start-up Assam ID (MASI).
2. Application Submission: Once a MASI ID is issued, eligible startups can submit their Scale-Up Grant application through their personalized Startup Assam Dashboard.
3. Nodal Agency Review: Applications are then routed to designated Nodal Agencies, which operate under the guidelines of the Assam Startup Policy. These agencies meticulously review the startup's MASI status, comprehensive business plan, evidence of proof-of-concept, and the proposed utilization of the Scale-Up funds.
4. Recommendation to Council: Following their assessment, the Nodal Agency forwards a recommendation to the Assam Startup Council.
5. Council Approval and Disbursement: The Assam Startup Council reviews the recommendation, approves the grant amount, and authorizes the disbursement of funds. Approved grants are typically credited to the startup's registered bank account within approximately two to four weeks of the Council's approval.
