Jharkhand Startup Policy: Marketing Assistance Grant — Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the grant, startups must meet all of these criteria:

• Registered and operational in Jharkhand: The startup must have a clear physical presence and business operations within the state.
• Annual turnover below ₹25 Crore: This threshold ensures the grant supports small and growing enterprises rather than large companies.
• Less than 5 years old: The startup must be incorporated fewer than 5 years before the date of application.
• Maximum 50 employees: The startup must have no more than 50 employees at the time of application.
• Comprehensive marketing plan required: The application must include a detailed marketing proposal with a budget breakdown, expected outcomes, and key performance indicators.

The grant is open to startups at various stages including idea, product, revenue, and profitable stages. There are no restrictions on industry or entity type, and neither DPIIT nor MSME registration is explicitly required. Additionally, there are no specific founder requirements (e.g., age or gender) for eligibility.
