It suits software teams because it covers everyday running costs. The limit applies each quarter, and the policy also has a separate lease subsidy for local startups.

The catch
It lasts only one year, so time your claim to your highest spend. Confirm the 2025 policy schemes are live, because the portal still refers to older policies. The Goa portal's security certificate had expired when we checked, so your browser may show a warning.
We read this on the official page on 4 November 2026. Rules and dates change, so confirm there before you apply. Founders Wing is not connected to this scheme, does not help with applications and never charges for access to it.
