Is NirmanKit free?
Yes. Founders never pay to search schemes, build a roadmap, or read a guide. There is no paywall and no trial that expires.
Where does the scheme data come from?
Every scheme in the catalogue cites its official source — a ministry portal, a gazette notification, or a scheme's own guidelines page. The citation is part of the record, not a footnote we add later: a scheme cannot be published without one.
How current is it?
Each scheme carries a last-verified date, shown on its page. A background job re-checks source pages and flags a scheme for review when the page it was verified against changes.
Where a scheme's deadline has passed or its portal has gone dark, we say so on the scheme itself rather than quietly removing it — knowing that a scheme has closed is as useful as knowing one is open.
Do you submit applications on my behalf?
No. NirmanKit tells you which schemes you are likely eligible for, what each one needs, and the order to approach them in. You apply through the official portal yourself, and the link we give you goes there directly.
What do you do with my answers?
The eligibility questions you answer build your roadmap. You can use the whole site without an account; if you create one, it is so your roadmap is still there when you come back.
How do I report incorrect information?
Every scheme page has a "Report inaccuracy" link that tells us which scheme you were looking at. Corrections to scheme facts are the reports we act on fastest, because a wrong eligibility rule sends someone down the wrong path.
