Not sure where to start
Answer 12 short questions on IndiaDigital (state, age, occupation, income and a few more). You see the schemes that look likely, the documents to keep ready and the official link to apply. It takes a couple of minutes and nothing you enter leaves your phone.
You want the complete, official list
Use myScheme.gov.in. As of 30 Oct 2026 its FAQ says it lists over 4,700 central and state/UT schemes, in 15 languages, and you can browse and search without signing in. It is the government's own source, so treat its details as authoritative over ours.
Applying
Neither site takes your application for most schemes. myScheme sends you to the department's application page, and so do we. Applying on official portals is free: never pay an agent who promises approval.

Frequently asked questions
Is IndiaDigital an official government site?
No. It is an independent, free site. myScheme.gov.in is the official portal. We link to official sources for every scheme, and you should always confirm details and apply there.
Do I need to log in to myScheme?
As of 30 Oct 2026, myScheme's FAQ says you can browse and search schemes without signing in. Signing in with MeriPehchaan lets you save a profile, bookmark schemes and get recommendations.
Why does IndiaDigital list fewer schemes?
We cover about 90 of the most used central and big-state schemes so the quiz stays short. myScheme lists over 4,700. If you do not find a scheme with us, search myScheme.
Can I apply on myScheme or IndiaDigital?
Generally not on either. myScheme sends you to the ministry or department's application page, and IndiaDigital links to the official apply page for each scheme.
Are my answers saved?
On IndiaDigital, only in your own browser and only if you tick "Remember my answers". Nothing is sent to us.
