How much subsidy on a seed drill or seed cum fertiliser drill under SMAM?

Seed drills and seed-cum-fertiliser drills are well supported under SMAM because they save seed and improve placement. The subsidy is generally around 40 to 50 percent of the approved cost, with the higher slab for SC, ST, women, small and marginal farmers. Zero-till drills, which are useful for sowing wheat straight after paddy, are often included too. As with other implements, the subsidy is on the approved cost ceiling for the drill size, not the full bill. Apply on your state or national agrimachinery portal during the open window, get selected, buy from an empanelled dealer, upload the invoice, get the machine inspected, and the subsidy comes by DBT. Confirm the exact slab and the approved cost for the drill width you want on your state agriculture portal.
