Overview
Farm machinery subsidy in Uttar Pradesh runs through the same central mechanisation umbrella most states use — Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), Crop Residue Management, and related central schemes — but the state sets its own rates and runs its own booking cycle every year on the Agriculture Department portal. That is what makes it a state scheme rather than a purely central one: the 40%/50% split, the district-wise token system, and the annual booking window (in 2026-27 this ran 16 July to 10 August) are all UP-specific.
Beyond the individual farmer subsidy, the scheme funds shared infrastructure. A Custom Hiring Centre — where a group buys a set of machines and rents them out village-wide — gets up to 40% subsidy, on a project cost that rises with the sub-scheme: up to ₹10 lakh under SMAM, up to ₹30 lakh under Crop Residue Management, and up to ₹1 crore for a Farmer Producer Organisation. A Farm Machinery Bank, mainly meant for SC/ST beneficiary groups, gets up to 80% subsidy on a ₹10 lakh ceiling. Forty-plus machine categories are covered, from tractors, combine harvesters and track-mounted sugarcane harvesters down to crop-residue tools like Super Straw Management Systems, mulchers and zero-till seed-cum-fertiliser drills that let a farmer sow the next crop without burning stubble.
The 2026-27 cycle runs under Government Order No. 36/2026 dated 4 June 2026, with about ₹55.18 crore sanctioned across the mechanisation heads (Krishi Unnati Yojana ₹49.27 crore, plus NMAM and Crop Residue Management). A small refundable token deposit, scaled to the machine's subsidy, is taken at booking; where a district is oversubscribed an e-lottery is drawn on a notified date, and the selected farmer then has a fixed number of days to buy from a registered dealer and upload the bill.
What you get
The benefit as the state notifies it — nothing here is an estimate.
- 40% subsidy for general-category farmers on the notified cost of the machine.
- 50% subsidy for SC/ST, small and marginal, and women farmers on the same machine list.
- Custom Hiring Centres get up to 40% subsidy on a project cost of up to ₹10 lakh, so a group can rent machines out to others in the village.
- Farm Machinery Banks, mainly for SC/ST groups, get up to 80% subsidy on a ₹10 lakh ceiling.
- Forty-plus machine categories covered — tractors, rotavators, seed drills, combine and sugarcane harvesters, and crop-residue tools like Super SMS, mulchers, shredders, brush cutters and zero-till seed-cum-fertiliser drills.
- A refundable token deposit at booking is returned if you are not drawn in the e-lottery, or adjusted against the purchase if you are.
Who is eligible
State schemes usually state their criteria as prose rather than a checklist. This is that prose, unpacked — the department’s verification is what decides.
You qualify if
- Farmer with agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh, registered on the Agriculture Department farmer portal
- Aadhaar card linked to the bank account used for subsidy transfer
- Land record (khatauni) in the applicant's own name, or joint ownership documented
- Caste certificate on file for the 50% SC/ST rate
Not covered
- Machinery bought before the token/booking is approved
- Non-farmers, traders or dealers applying in their own name
- Applications submitted after the annual booking window closes
Documents you need
Have these ready before you start — most rejections are a missing paper, not a missing right.
- Aadhaar card (mobile number linked)
- Bank passbook with IFSC code
- Khatauni or land ownership record
- Caste certificate, where the 50% rate is claimed
- Passport-size photograph
How to apply
Fewer steps than a central scheme, and usually one office rather than a portal.
- 1
Register on the Agriculture Department portal
Sign up on agriculture.up.gov.in with your Aadhaar number, mobile number and land details before the booking window opens.
- 2
Book your machine and generate a token
During the annual booking window, pick the machine from the district's list and generate a token. If applications exceed the district target, selection runs by e-lottery.
- 3
Buy, upload bill, receive subsidy
Purchase the machine after your token is confirmed, upload the dealer bill on the portal, and the subsidy is credited to your linked bank account after field verification.
If something goes wrong
Missing from the list, or payment stuck — here is the channel the department itself publishes for it.
- If your confirmed token does not turn into a sanction, if the subsidy is not credited after you have uploaded a verified bill, or if you are wrongly denied the 50% rate, take it to the District Agriculture Officer / Deputy Director (Agriculture) and then the Joint Director (Agriculture) for the division. The portal helpline is 0522-2207784. Keep your token number and the uploaded bill.
- Beyond the department, use Uttar Pradesh's Jansunwai (IGRS) — the portal at jansunwai.up.nic.in or the Jansunwai-Samadhan app — or the CM Helpline on 1076 (toll-free, 24×7). Both feed the same system run by the Lok Shikayat Vibhag at the CM Office; note the complaint number to track and reopen it.
Frequently asked questions
When does the booking window open each year?
It is announced fresh every year on agriculture.up.gov.in — the 2026-27 window ran from 16 July to 10 August. There is no fixed calendar date, so check the portal each season.
I am general category but a small farmer. Do I get 40% or 50%?
50%. The higher rate applies to SC/ST, small and marginal, and women farmers regardless of caste category, not only to SC/ST applicants.
What happens if more farmers apply than the district has budget for?
Selection is done through an online token draw or e-lottery on a notified date, so the process is not first-come-first-served once the district target is reached.
Is there a deposit to book?
Yes — a small refundable token amount, scaled to the machine's subsidy, is taken when you book. It is refunded if you are not drawn in the lottery, or adjusted against the purchase if you are.
How long do I have to buy after selection?
The portal gives a fixed number of days after the token is confirmed to buy the machine from a registered dealer and upload the bill. Miss that window and the token lapses.
Can an FPO or a group get a bigger project?
Yes. Custom Hiring Centre project ceilings rise by sub-scheme — up to ₹10 lakh under SMAM, up to ₹30 lakh under Crop Residue Management, and up to ₹1 crore for a Farmer Producer Organisation.
Which rule governs this year's cycle?
The 2026-27 booking runs under Government Order No. 36/2026 dated 4 June 2026, with about ₹55.18 crore sanctioned across the mechanisation schemes.
