How to apply
- Apply to your State Horticulture Mission / state horticulture department — states must run a fair, transparent system for taking applications (cl. 4.8(c)).
- For pack houses, cold storage and other post-harvest projects, get a bank loan sanctioned first: the subsidy is credit linked and back-ended (cl. 7.47). Credit linkage is optional for projects up to Rs. 30 lakh (Annexure V, Note 2).
- Assistance is paid to your bank account, preferably by DBT (cl. 6.1). New orchards are paid in two instalments of 60:40, the second only if 80% of plants survive in year two.
