PM Kisan Tractor Yojana: Benefits and Application Process

The PM Kisan Tractor Yojana initiated by the Government of India provides farmers with tractors at affordable prices. Farmers also receive subsidies and financial assistance under this scheme. This scheme is being implemented in several states of India such as Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, etc. Any farmer wishing to purchase a tractor for agricultural activities can avail the benefits of this scheme. A tractor is a very important equipment in farming, used for various tasks such as plowing, sowing, and threshing. Therefore, both the central and state governments continue to implement various schemes to provide subsidies on agricultural machinery for financial assistance in farming.

Benefits of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Tractor Yojana

Farmers are benefiting significantly from the subsidy provided on tractors under this scheme. Due to this subsidy, the maximum benefit will be received by small and marginal farmers. Often, small farmers are unable to purchase farm machinery and other essential tools due to their low income. But now, with the help of the central and state governments, they can also purchase agricultural equipment at a lower cost for efficient cultivation. With this assistance, farmers can reduce their expenses in farming. Additionally, subsidies of up to 50% on tractors and up to 80% on agricultural equipment are available for different states.

Subsidies on Tractors

When it comes to the subsidy available on tractors under this scheme, it has been reported that subsidies of up to 50% may be provided on tractors, while subsidies of approximately up to 80% may be given on other agricultural machinery. However, the subsidy on agricultural machinery may vary. Additionally, the determination of subsidies varies for different states.
