Zaroori
Total benefits depend on stage and QRate; a flat ₹60 lakh grant is not how the scheme works.
Techno Fund money is a loan and must be repaid.
Keep your iStart profile and monthly reports updated to avoid stoppage of allowance.
Not mandatory for iStart registration, but it strengthens your profile.
iStart is sector-agnostic, though innovation is assessed.
No, it is loan or equity support.
Aur bhi
CGA eligibility review, documentation, filing aur compliance support deta hai. Recognition, grant, loan ya certificate ka sanction sirf implementing ministry, state department ya incubator karta hai; CGA approval ya amount ki guarantee nahi deta. Scheme limits latest official guidelines ke hisaab se badal sakti hain.
