How Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana Works
This is a frequent question in the minds of the people that “How Bhavantar Bhugtan price Deficit Scheme Works”. Here we are telling you the price deficit mechanism. Let us suppose that MSP for maize is Rs. 3,000 per quintal and the modal rate is Rs. 2,500 and:-
— If farmers sells the crop at Rs. 2,700 per quintal in mandi, govt. will pay out Rs. 300 (Rs. 3000 – Rs.2700) per quintal directly to bank account of farmers.
— In case the farmers sells crop at Rs. 2,300 per quintal, then the state govt. will provide only Rs. 500 (Rs. 2300 – Rs. 2500) per quintal for crops sold.
