Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
The Haryana Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department has revised the schedule for the subsidy scheme being provided on tractors of 45 HP or above for Scheduled Caste farmers under the State Scheme (SB-89), and has extended the dates for completing the process.
Sharing information in this regard a department spokesperson said that during the implementation of the scheme, several requests were received from farmers regarding technical issues on the portal related to downloading permits, uploading bills after purchasing tractors, approval of bills by manufacturers, and transfer of inventory from manufacturers to dealers. Keeping in view the possibility that eligible farmers might be deprived of the benefits of the scheme due to these issues, the department has decided to revise the schedule and extend the deadline.
The spokesperson said that as per the revised schedule, farmers and manufacturers can now complete all online processes on the portal by March 17, 2026. These include downloading permits, purchasing tractors, uploading bills, and the transfer of inventory and approval of bills by manufacturers.
The spokesperson further informed that a one-day programme for on-site verification will be organised on March 20, 2026, while the process of verification related to subsidy and final approval on the portal by the Deputy Director Agriculture will be completed by March 24, 2026.
The spokesperson added that instructions have been issued to ensure wide publicity of the scheme among farmers, tractor manufacturers and dealers so that eligible farmers can take maximum benefit of the scheme.
