-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Under the proposed system, payment of subsidy is to be based on weekly settlement of claims from actual sales data captured on POS machines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Buoyed by its landslide win in the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government has decided to fast-track the implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system for payment of fertiliser subsidy to farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the coming kharif season, beginning June, the Rs 70,000-crore fertiliser subsidy budgeted for 2017-18 will be disbursed to companies based on actual sales to farmers captured on point-of-sale (POS) machines installed at nearly two lakh retail points across India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would be a significant change from the current system, where firms are paid the subsidy on receipt of their fertiliser at the railhead point or any approved godown of a district. Prior to this, till October 2012, they were getting the subsidy on despatch of material from their respective factories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;From kharif 2017 onwards, we are moving to disbursal of subsidy only after sale to the farmer takes place. The farmer&amp;rsquo;s identity will be verified through Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, voter ID or Kisan Credit Card. The sale transaction as well as buyer details would be captured in the POS machine installed at the retailer&amp;rsquo;s end and connected with a central server,&amp;rdquo; a Department of Fertilisers official told The Indian Express.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed subsidy-post-sale system &amp;mdash; as opposed to after receipt-at-district or despatch-from-plant &amp;mdash; is already being implemented as a pilot scheme in 17 districts. They include UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s home district of Gorakhpur; Kishanganj and Begusarai (Bihar); Dhanbad (Jharkhand); Hoshangabad (Madhya Pradesh); Pali (Rajasthan); Nashik and Raigad (Maharashtra); Narmada (Gujarat); Krishna and West Godavari (Andhra Pradesh); Ranga Reddy (Telangana); Tumkur (Karnataka); Thrissur (Kerala); Karnal and Kurukshetra (Haryana); and, Una (Himachal Pradesh).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will have a nationwide roll-out of this system from June 1. Fertiliser companies have been given a deadline of May 31 for procurement and installation of POS machines at all the 1.98 lakh-odd registered outlets selling to farmers. All transactions thereafter will have to be done through POS machines in order to be able to claim subsidy,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed system&amp;rsquo;s biggest advantage is that it can track actual purchases by the final buyer. A farmer growing wheat or paddy may apply up to three 50-kg bags of urea, one bag of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and half-a-bag of muriate of potash (MOP) per acre. That requirement could be more &amp;mdash; say, three bags urea and 1.5 bags each of DAP and MOP per acre &amp;mdash; for potato and sugarcane.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Under the proposed system, payment of subsidy is to be based on weekly settlement of claims from actual sales data captured on POS machines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Buoyed by its landslide win in the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government has decided to fast-track the implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system for payment of fertiliser subsidy to farmers.&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to this, till October 2012, they were getting the subsidy on despatch of material from their respective factories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;From kharif 2017 onwards, we are moving to disbursal of subsidy only after sale to the farmer takes place.

-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Under the proposed system, payment of subsidy is to be based on weekly settlement of claims from actual sales data captured on POS machines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Buoyed by its landslide win in the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government has decided to fast-track the implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system for payment of fertiliser subsidy to farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the coming kharif season, beginning June, the Rs 70,000-crore fertiliser subsidy budgeted for 2017-18 will be disbursed to companies based on actual sales to farmers captured on point-of-sale (POS) machines installed at nearly two lakh retail points across India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would be a significant change from the current system, where firms are paid the subsidy on receipt of their fertiliser at the railhead point or any approved godown of a district. Prior to this, till October 2012, they were getting the subsidy on despatch of material from their respective factories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;From kharif 2017 onwards, we are moving to disbursal of subsidy only after sale to the farmer takes place. The farmer&amp;rsquo;s identity will be verified through Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, voter ID or Kisan Credit Card. The sale transaction as well as buyer details would be captured in the POS machine installed at the retailer&amp;rsquo;s end and connected with a central server,&amp;rdquo; a Department of Fertilisers official told The Indian Express.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed subsidy-post-sale system &amp;mdash; as opposed to after receipt-at-district or despatch-from-plant &amp;mdash; is already being implemented as a pilot scheme in 17 districts. They include UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s home district of Gorakhpur; Kishanganj and Begusarai (Bihar); Dhanbad (Jharkhand); Hoshangabad (Madhya Pradesh); Pali (Rajasthan); Nashik and Raigad (Maharashtra); Narmada (Gujarat); Krishna and West Godavari (Andhra Pradesh); Ranga Reddy (Telangana); Tumkur (Karnataka); Thrissur (Kerala); Karnal and Kurukshetra (Haryana); and, Una (Himachal Pradesh).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will have a nationwide roll-out of this system from June 1. Fertiliser companies have been given a deadline of May 31 for procurement and installation of POS machines at all the 1.98 lakh-odd registered outlets selling to farmers. All transactions thereafter will have to be done through POS machines in order to be able to claim subsidy,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed system&amp;rsquo;s biggest advantage is that it can track actual purchases by the final buyer. A farmer growing wheat or paddy may apply up to three 50-kg bags of urea, one bag of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and half-a-bag of muriate of potash (MOP) per acre. That requirement could be more &amp;mdash; say, three bags urea and 1.5 bags each of DAP and MOP per acre &amp;mdash; for potato and sugarcane.&lt;br /&gt;

-The Indian Express&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Under the proposed system, payment of subsidy is to be based on weekly settlement of claims from actual sales data captured on POS machines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Buoyed by its landslide win in the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government has decided to fast-track the implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system for payment of fertiliser subsidy to farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the coming kharif season, beginning June, the Rs 70,000-crore fertiliser subsidy budgeted for 2017-18 will be disbursed to companies based on actual sales to farmers captured on point-of-sale (POS) machines installed at nearly two lakh retail points across India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would be a significant change from the current system, where firms are paid the subsidy on receipt of their fertiliser at the railhead point or any approved godown of a district. Prior to this, till October 2012, they were getting the subsidy on despatch of material from their respective factories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;From kharif 2017 onwards, we are moving to disbursal of subsidy only after sale to the farmer takes place. The farmer&amp;rsquo;s identity will be verified through Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, voter ID or Kisan Credit Card. The sale transaction as well as buyer details would be captured in the POS machine installed at the retailer&amp;rsquo;s end and connected with a central server,&amp;rdquo; a Department of Fertilisers official told The Indian Express.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed subsidy-post-sale system &amp;mdash; as opposed to after receipt-at-district or despatch-from-plant &amp;mdash; is already being implemented as a pilot scheme in 17 districts. They include UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s home district of Gorakhpur; Kishanganj and Begusarai (Bihar); Dhanbad (Jharkhand); Hoshangabad (Madhya Pradesh); Pali (Rajasthan); Nashik and Raigad (Maharashtra); Narmada (Gujarat); Krishna and West Godavari (Andhra Pradesh); Ranga Reddy (Telangana); Tumkur (Karnataka); Thrissur (Kerala); Karnal and Kurukshetra (Haryana); and, Una (Himachal Pradesh).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will have a nationwide roll-out of this system from June 1. Fertiliser companies have been given a deadline of May 31 for procurement and installation of POS machines at all the 1.98 lakh-odd registered outlets selling to farmers. All transactions thereafter will have to be done through POS machines in order to be able to claim subsidy,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposed system&amp;rsquo;s biggest advantage is that it can track actual purchases by the final buyer. A farmer growing wheat or paddy may apply up to three 50-kg bags of urea, one bag of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and half-a-bag of muriate of potash (MOP) per acre. That requirement could be more &amp;mdash; say, three bags urea and 1.5 bags each of DAP and MOP per acre &amp;mdash; for potato and sugarcane.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Under the proposed system, payment of subsidy is to be based on weekly settlement of claims from actual sales data captured on POS machines. <br />
</em><br />
Buoyed by its landslide win in the recent Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government has decided to fast-track the implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system for payment of fertiliser subsidy to farmers.<br />
<br />
From the coming kharif season, beginning June, the Rs 70,000-crore fertiliser subsidy budgeted for 2017-18 will be disbursed to companies based on actual sales to farmers captured on point-of-sale (POS) machines installed at nearly two lakh retail points across India.<br />
<br />
This would be a significant change from the current system, where firms are paid the subsidy on receipt of their fertiliser at the railhead point or any approved godown of a district. Prior to this, till October 2012, they were getting the subsidy on despatch of material from their respective factories.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;From kharif 2017 onwards, we are moving to disbursal of subsidy only after sale to the farmer takes place. The farmer&rsquo;s identity will be verified through Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, voter ID or Kisan Credit Card. The sale transaction as well as buyer details would be captured in the POS machine installed at the retailer&rsquo;s end and connected with a central server,&rdquo; a Department of Fertilisers official told The Indian Express.<br />
<br />
The proposed subsidy-post-sale system &mdash; as opposed to after receipt-at-district or despatch-from-plant &mdash; is already being implemented as a pilot scheme in 17 districts. They include UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath&rsquo;s home district of Gorakhpur; Kishanganj and Begusarai (Bihar); Dhanbad (Jharkhand); Hoshangabad (Madhya Pradesh); Pali (Rajasthan); Nashik and Raigad (Maharashtra); Narmada (Gujarat); Krishna and West Godavari (Andhra Pradesh); Ranga Reddy (Telangana); Tumkur (Karnataka); Thrissur (Kerala); Karnal and Kurukshetra (Haryana); and, Una (Himachal Pradesh).<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We will have a nationwide roll-out of this system from June 1. Fertiliser companies have been given a deadline of May 31 for procurement and installation of POS machines at all the 1.98 lakh-odd registered outlets selling to farmers. All transactions thereafter will have to be done through POS machines in order to be able to claim subsidy,&rdquo; the official said.<br />
