UNION GOVERNMENT SCHEME

The Start-up India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS)

• A Start-up is defined as an entity that headquartered in India, which was opened less than year ago and has an annual turnover of less than ₹100 crore.

Launched on:-

The Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) was launched on 19^th April 2021 by Mr.Piyush Goyal, Minister of Textiles, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and also the former Minister of Railways.  Earlier, The Scheme was announced by the  Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 16th January 2021 in his Grand Plenary address of ‘Prarambh: StartupIndia International Summit’ organized by department of promotion of industry and internal trade under ministry of commerce and industry. During the announcement of the scheme prime minister narendra modi said we are trying to create a start up system which is based on the mantra “of the youth, by the youth, for the youth”.

Ministry involved :-

Department of promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT) will execute and monitor the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme. DPIIT is under the ministry of commerce and industry.

Objective :-

• Start-up India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) aims to provide financial assistance to start-ups for proof of concept, prototype development, product trials, market entry and commercialization.
• This would enable these start-ups to graduate to a level where they will be able to raise investments from angel investors or venture capitalists or seek loans from commercial banks or financial institutions.

Target group :-

The scheme’s main aim is to provide fund for the start-ups with an innovative idea lacking sufficient fund. Easy availability of capital is essential for entrepreneurs at the early stages of growth of an enterprise.

Eligibility:-

• For start-ups-

To avail the scheme a startup should be recognized by DPIIT, incorporated not more than 2 years ago at the time of application. The startup should not have received more than rs.10 lakh of monetary support under any government scheme.

• For incubators- Start-up incubators are institutions that help entrepreneurs to develop their business, especially in the initial stages

The incubator must be a legal entity:
– A society registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860, or
– A Trust registered under the Indian Trusts Act 1882, or
– A Private Limited company registered under the Companies Act 1956 or the Companies Act 2013, or
– A statutory body created through an Act of the legislature

Corpus :-

According the scheme, for the next 4 years ₹945 Crore corpus will be divided for provision of seed funding to eligible startups through eligible incubators across India.  Support to an estimated 3,600 start-ups through 300 incubators is expected as per the scheme. When start-ups will avail scheme ,they will get guarantee of help to raise debt going ahead.

Benefits :-

Many innovative business ideas fail to take off due to the absence of this critical capital required at an early stage. To tackle this problem  seed funding is offered to such promising cases, then they can have a multiplier effect in validation of business ideas of many startups, leading to employment generation in the country. The capital required at this stage often presents a make-or-break situation for startups with good business ideas.
