Punjab Startup Policy: Seed Funding for DPIIT Startups — Eligibility Criteria

To apply, a startup must hold valid DPIIT recognition and be registered and operating within Punjab. The business should offer an innovation-led product or service. While the program prioritises startups at the prototype or proof-of-concept stage, earlier or later stage ventures may be considered if they meet other criteria. A recommendation letter from a recognised Punjab incubator is not mandatory but strengthens the application.

Punjab Startup Policy: Seed Funding for DPIIT Startups is open to startups at the product stage. The programme is targeted at startups registered in Punjab. Applicants should be registered as private limited, llp and partnership. Applicants must hold DPIIT (Startup India) recognition.
