The catch
The portal mixes old and new policy notices, so confirm that claims under the 2025 policy are open. The cell sets the amount, and only an MVP stage startup qualifies. 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.
