pmksy per drop more crop subsidy rate, small marginal 55 percent other 45 percent micro irrigation

Under PMKSY Per Drop More Crop, micro-irrigation (drip and sprinkler) gets a higher subsidy for small and marginal farmers than for other farmers. The central pattern provides about 55 percent assistance for small and marginal farmers and about 45 percent for other farmers, and many states add a top-up so the effective subsidy is higher. The subsidy is calculated on cost norms fixed per hectare for the system, not the full bill if your quote is higher. Apply through your state micro-irrigation or horticulture portal with land records, Aadhaar and a quotation from an empanelled supplier. After installation and verification the subsidy comes by DBT. Confirm the exact current rates and any state top-up at your agriculture or horticulture office.
Maine drip ke liye apply kiya, main small farmer hoon to mujhe zyada subsidy mili, aur state ne upar se thoda aur top-up diya. Subsidy poore bill par nahi balki per hectare cost norm par bani thi, isliye apna quote zyada hone se baaki paisa apni jeb se laga.
A pitfall to know: the subsidy is calculated on the fixed cost norm per hectare, not the full amount if your supplier quotes higher. I assumed I would get the percentage of the actual bill and was short of cash. Use an empanelled supplier and ask for the cost norm first.
Check whether your state adds a top-up on the central rate, because in some states the effective subsidy for small and marginal farmers is much higher. The horticulture office gave me the exact current figure for my district. The DBT comes after installation and verification, so keep your account Aadhaar-seeded.
