Is guide mein hum simple bhasha mein samjhayenge ki kitna paisa milta hai, kaun apply kar sakta hai, aur process kya hai.
Seed fund mein kitna paisa milta hai?
Base amount hai ₹10 lakh — interest-free loan ke roop mein, 10 saal ki tenure ke saath. Lekin har founder ke liye amount alag ho sakta hai:
| Category | Extra incentive | Total seed fund |

| General founders | — | ₹10,00,000 |

| SC / ST founders | +15% | ₹11,50,000 |
| Differently-abled founders | +15% | ₹11,50,000 |
Yeh paisa ek saath nahi milta. Policy ke hisaab se funding milestones ke basis par release hoti hai — yaani jaise-jaise aap product ya business mein progress dikhate ho, agli installment aati hai.
Seed fund ke alawa aur kya milta hai?
- Acceleration program assistance: Kisi nationally ya internationally recognised accelerator mein participate karne ke liye ₹3 lakh tak ki madad (women founders ke liye ₹3.15 lakh).
- Matching support: Agar aapke startup mein Angel Group ya Category-I AIF invest karta hai, to us investment ke barabar amount tak loan mil sakta hai. Interest rate aur terms SMIC time-to-time notify karti hai.
- Incubation support: Shared workspace, mentorship, business advisory aur networking — incubation centres aur Bihar Innovation Hub ke through.
Eligibility — kaun apply kar sakta hai?
Broadly, yeh conditions dhyan mein rakho:
- Startup Bihar mein registered hona chahiye aur state mein functional office hona chahiye.
- Business model mein innovation honi chahiye — koi naya product, process ya service.
- Entity registration valid honi chahiye (Private Limited, LLP, ya Registered Partnership jaisi recognised form).
- Dusre state ke startups sirf isliye eligible nahi ho jaate ki founder Bihar se hai — registration aur operations Bihar mein hone chahiye.
Apply kaise karein?
- Portal par registration: Official Startup Bihar portal par account banao.
- Application form: Apne idea ka detailed description prescribed format mein bharo — problem, solution, innovation aur market.
- Documents: Incorporation certificate, founder ID proof, pitch deck aur business plan taiyar rakho.
- Evaluation: Application scrutiny ke baad shortlisted startups ko evaluation stage par bulaya jaata hai.
- Sanction aur disbursal: Approval ke baad funding milestones ke hisaab se release hoti hai.

Aksar puche jaane wale sawaal
Kya Bihar Startup Policy ka seed fund wapas karna padta hai?
Haan. Yeh grant nahi, interest-free loan hai — 10 saal ki tenure ke saath. Interest nahi lagta, lekin principal amount repay karna hota hai. Repayment ki exact terms sanction letter mein di jaati hain.
Kya seed fund lene ke liye equity deni padti hai?
Nahi. Yeh non-dilutive funding hai — sarkar aapke startup mein shareholding nahi leti.
Women founders ko kitna extra milta hai?
Women-led startups ko base amount par 5% extra milta hai, yaani ₹10.5 lakh seed fund aur accelerator program ke liye ₹3.15 lakh.
Kya dusre state ka founder apply kar sakta hai?
Startup Bihar mein registered hona chahiye aur state mein functional office hona chahiye. Sirf founder ka Bihar se hona kaafi nahi hai.
