How to Apply

OOnline
  • After receiving the target from the Government of India, the Agriculture Department, through the District Chief Agriculture Officer’s Office, publishes an advertisement inviting applications for the purchase of machinery at a subsidized rate.
  • To avail of this scheme, farmers/groups must apply within the dates specified in the advertisement. Applications can be submitted online through the SMAM portal (https://agrimachinery.nic.in) either by the farmers/groups themselves or via the nearest Common Service Center (CSC).
  • To apply online, farmers are required to upload their Aadhaar card along with an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, bank account details, land certificate, and caste certificate if applicable. In the case of group applications, it is mandatory to provide the bank account of the group or Custom Hiring Centre, a photo of the group president, Aadhaar cards of all group members, and the land documents of all members. All documents must correspond to the district in which the agricultural land is located. Farmers/groups who are unable to apply online can seek assistance from the Agriculture Department’s development block-level officer.
  • Once the application is submitted, the farmer/group receives a registration number or certificate. Using this registration number, the farmer/group can purchase the required equipment from a panel firm approved by the Agriculture Department, as listed on the portal, and upload the purchase bills. The bills are then verified by Agriculture Department personnel, and the subsidy amount is directly disbursed to the farmer’s/group's bank account through DBT.
  • The scheme follows a “first-come, first-served” system. District-wise targets are set, and once a district’s target is reached, farmers/groups will need to apply again in the following year to avail the benefits of the scheme.
