How much subsidy can I get on a tractor and what is the exact way to claim it?

Tractor subsidy comes mainly under SMAM and state machinery schemes, and it is given as a percentage of the cost up to a fixed ceiling, so it is capped, not open ended. The percentage is typically higher for small, marginal, SC, ST and women farmers and lower for general category, and there is a maximum rupee cap per tractor regardless of the model price, so a costly tractor does not get you more money. Because demand is far higher than the budget, tractor applications almost always go through a lottery, not first come first served. The process is: register on your state machinery portal, apply with land record, Aadhaar, bank details and category certificate, get selected in the draw, receive a permission or work order, buy the tractor from an authorised dealer with a proper GST invoice, submit the bill and registration RC, get it physically verified, and then the capped subsidy is paid to your bank by DBT. Never buy before you get the work order, a purchase made earlier is usually not eligible. Confirm the current percentage, the rupee ceiling and the open window on your state portal, as these change each year.
