Punjab Government Extends Registration Deadline for Cotton Seed Subsidy
Chandigarh. Providing relief to cotton-growing farmers, the Punjab government has extended the registration deadline for the 33 percent subsidy on cotton seeds by 15 days. The Department of Agriculture took this decision keeping in mind those farmers who, for various reasons, were unable to register on the online portal within the stipulated timeframe.
According to the department, many farmers faced difficulties in completing the registration process due to technical glitches and a lack of information. Furthermore, timely assistance could not reach the farmers as the field staff remained occupied with election duties.
The government has clarified that to avail the benefits of this scheme, farmers must register on the Department of Agriculture's portal in a timely manner and submit the necessary information and documents.
Under this scheme, farmers can avail a 33 percent subsidy on BT and indigenous cotton seeds for up to two hectares of land.
