Question

Hello, Government of Haryana provides a substantial subsidy for farmers under the Haryana Krishi Yantra Anudan Yojana, aimed at encouraging the use of modern agricultural equipment like rotavators. Through this scheme, farmers in Haryana can receive a subsidy of 40% to 50% on the purchase of rotavators and other farm machinery. Specifically, general category farmers are eligible for a 40% subsidy, while small, marginal, women, and SC/ST category farmers can receive up to 50% subsidy. Additionally, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), cooperative societies, and custom hiring centers may qualify for subsidies as high as 80%, although individual farmers typically fall within the 40–50% range.

To apply for the subsidy, a farmer must be a resident of Haryana, possess agricultural land in their name or in the name of a close family member, and have a registered tractor in their name (as the rotavator is typically tractor-mounted). Farmers are allowed to avail subsidies for up to three different machines in one financial year, but not for the same machine type if already subsidized in the previous three to four years. The key documents required include Aadhaar card, bank account details, land ownership records, tractor registration certificate, and caste certificate (if applying under SC/ST category).

The application process is entirely online via the official Haryana Agriculture Department portal https://agriharyana.gov.in. Applicants need to register using Aadhaar or a login ID, upload the necessary documents, and select the desired machinery (in this case, a rotavator). In case of more applications than the available quota, beneficiaries are selected through an online lottery system. Once selected, the machinery purchase and verification process are completed, and the subsidy amount is directly transferred to the farmer’s bank account.

This initiative not only supports farmers financially but also helps promote mechanization in agriculture, reducing manual labor and improving efficiency. If you are planning to apply, it is advisable to keep your documents ready and monitor the Agriculture Department portal regularly for the next application window, which often opens during the Kharif or Rabi seasons.
