Questions people ask
How do I know which government schemes I am eligible for?+
Answer a few questions about your age, work, income and family. The finder checks the main conditions of 29 major central schemes and shows which you likely qualify for, with documents and the official link to apply.
Is my information saved or sent anywhere?+
No. Everything is checked on your phone. Your answers are only remembered on your own device so you don't have to fill them again.
Do I have to pay anyone to apply for these schemes?+
No. Applying for central schemes is free (a CSC may charge a small service fee). Never pay an agent who promises approval, and never share your OTP.
What does 'may be eligible' mean?+
It means the scheme depends on something we can't check here: a government list (like Ayushman Bharat or PMAY-Gramin), your marks, your state's limit, or rules that changed recently. Check on the official website or at the office.
