Full guide
What the scheme gives you
Farm machinery raises productivity but is expensive to buy outright. Rajasthan’s Krishi Yantra Scheme subsidises the cost of agricultural equipment — tractors, tillers and a range of implements — for farmers in the state. General farmers get a subsidy of around 40%, while small and marginal farmers and those from SC, ST and women categories get a higher rate, up to 50%. Because the exact percentage varies by machine and category, confirm the current rate before you buy.
Who can apply
The scheme is for cultivating farmers in Rajasthan. You are eligible if:
- You are a resident of Rajasthan who owns cultivable land
- You are not an income-tax payer and your family has no government employee
- Small/marginal, SC, ST and women farmers qualify for the higher subsidy rate
How to apply
Apply online through the SSO Rajasthan portal (sso.rajasthan.gov.in). Register with your Jan Aadhaar, log in, go to RAJ-KISAN → Application Entry Request, and complete the form with your details and the machine you want.
