About this programme
An early-stage seed loan from Kerala Startup Mission to help startups move from prototype to early market traction, offered on startup-friendly repayment terms.
This is credit — repayable finance, usually on more concessional terms than a regular commercial loan. The amount and form of support that actually apply to you depend on the programme’s rules and how your application is assessed — they are not fixed for every applicant.
It is aimed at businesses in pan-sector early-revenue funding. Like most government programmes, it has its own eligibility conditions, documentation and application window, and these terms are revised from time to time. Because of that, it is worth confirming the current eligibility, amount and deadline on the official programme page before you invest time in applying.

Documents you’ll typically need
