Size :

i. Under the scheme, entrepreneur will be free to construct godown at any place, as per

his / her commercial judgement except for restriction that it would be outside limits of

Municipal Corporation area and be of minimum capacity of 100 Metric tonnes.

ii. Rural godowns of smaller size upto 50 tonnes capacity will also be eligible as a

special case, based on viability. In hilly areas*, rural godowns of smaller size upto

25 tonnes capacity will also be eligible for subsidy. In case, the capacity of godown

is 1000 MT & above, the promoter has to execute an under taking (Annexure-V)

stating that he / she would comply with the Negotiable Warehouse Receipt System

(NWRS).

iii. Godowns built under the scheme shall be structurally sound on account of engineer-

ing considerations and functionally suitable to store agricultural produce. To ensure

scientific construction and operation of rural godowns, entrepreneurs will be required

to obtain license from State Warehousing Corporations to operate such godowns

under State Warehousing Act.

iv. Subsidy under the scheme is linked to Institutional credit and will be available to only

such projects as are financed by Commercial Banks, Cooperative Banks and Regional

Rural Banks. Loans to entrepreneurs from Banks for construction / renovation /

expansion of godowns would carry an adequate long term repayment period.

Depending upon the cash flow, the term loan would carry an adequate long term

repayment period, not less than 5 years including a grace period of one year.

2

v. Assistance under the scheme will be on capital cost of construction of godown only,

including allied facilities like consumer cooperatives, agri clinics, weighing, grading,

packaging, quality certification, warehousing etc., to meet various requirements of

farmers. The promoter has to execute an undertaking, if he /she is not filing IT

returns, in the form of a Notarised Affidavit (Encl. to Annexure –III) to the effect that

his / her major source of income i.e. more than 50% of income is from Agriculture

for the last 3 years. In this regard, the branch also has to give a certificate

(Annexure – III) and submit the same along with enclosure (Encl. to Annexure-III).

vi. Farmers keeping their produce in godowns will be eligible to avail pledge loan on

hypothecation of their produce. The terms and conditions as enunciated under

produce loans shall be followed while arranging such type of loans to the farmers.

vii. Rural godowns constructed in food parks promoted by Ministry of Food Processing

Industries will also be eligible under the scheme for assistance, provided the same is

in rural area and satisfy other conditions of the scheme.

viii. The NABARD also informed that

a) the godowns constructed with common wall are also eligible to receive subsidy

under the captioned scheme. However, the total project cost and corresponding

subsidy is required to be reduced to account for common wall.

b) The pre-engineered building structured godowns would also be eligible for

subsidy under Rural Godown scheme provided all the laid down norms /

conditions under the operational guidelines of the scheme are fulfilled.

c) The provision of minimum percentage of term loan is waived subject to ensuring

minimum prescribed percentage of owner‟s contribution and financial implication

in terms of subsidy outgo remaining unchanged in case of units sanctioned

during 11th five year plan and rendered ineligible under the scheme on account of

minor shortage in the minimum percentage of term loan under the project, till

implementation of amended provision.

ix. The scheme shall be implemented by Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI),

Faridabad, an attached office of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation. The

branches shall invariably verify the checklist (Annexure IX) and ensure that all the

required documents are submitted for claiming advance subsidy or for taking up

joint monitoring inspection or for claiming final subsidy, as the case maybe.

confirming to the technical specifications relating to the implementation of the

Negotiable Warehouse Receipt System (NWRS). The rural godowns of 1000 tonnes

capacity and more shall be considered as eligible for assistance under the Scheme, only

on giving an undertaking along with the application that they would be implementing the

Negotiable Warehouse Receipt System. DMI in consultation with the Department of Food

and Public Distribution and NABARD shall modify godown specifications to meet the

requirements of implementation of Negotiable Warehouse Receipt System and NABARD

shall ensure that these specifications are in-built in the eligibility criteria for giving

subsidy to the rural godowns of any size under the Scheme.

Note:

* Hilly areas : Where the project site is located at a height of more than 1000 meters

above Mean Sea Level (MSL).

Branches and Regional Offices are advised to take note of the above guidelines wh`ile

financing Rural Godowns. The NABARD has advised to ensure that the subsidy claims

originating at the branch level are carefully scrutinized at the controlling office level and

the claims, which are complete in all aspects and duly authenticated should be submitted

to NABARD in the prescribed formats. NABARD will not process and return the claims,

which are not in the prescribed format and are deficient / incomplete in any respect.

The NABARD is the nodal agency for administering subsidy of the Govt. of India under

Grameen Bhandaran Yojana (GBY). Since the budgetary resources of GoI are involved,

it is necessary to exercise utmost care and ensure that the subsidy is utilised in the

manner prescribed by the GoI and claims are made accordingly. The NABARD also

informed that they have observed the following short comings in many of the claims

submitted by the Banks to NABARD.

Copy of detailed project report is not enclosed.

Approved lay out plan clearly indicating location and dimension not enclosed.

Copy of sanction letter with project appraisal note not enclosed.

Copy of land documents (tile / lease deed) not enclosed.

Certificate from financing Banks with regard to category of promoter (if promoter

is not an IT assessee, then original notarised affidavit (Encl. to Annexure – III)

from promoter/s that their major source of income is from agriculture. If he /

she is an income tax assessee, copy of IT returns for the last 3 years. Original

notarised affidavit from promoter that he / she will not avail subsidy for the

project from any other source.

Undertaking in original (Annexure V) by promoter that he / she would comply

with Negotiable Warehouse Receipt System (NWRS), in case the capacity

of rural godown is 1000 MT and above, for the proposed godowns.

The NABARD also informed that “ it’s a matter of serious concern that officials of

some Banks at the branch and controlling office levels authenticate incorrect

and incomplete information and submit the same to NABARD.” Hence, NABARD

advised to properly verify the claims to avoid further correspondence and delay

in processing of such claims as the onus of submission of timely and correct

claims and proper utilization of GoI subsidy lies solely with the implementing

Bank.

The Branches / Regional Offices are advised to carefully scrutinize all the claims and

ensure that they are complete in all respects and submit two sets in the prescribed

formats i.e. Annexure-I for advance subsidy & Annexure-II for final subsidy to Head

Office through concerned Regional Office for onward submission to NABARD.

The Regional Offices shall submit a consolidated statement (Annexure VII) indicating

location of projects sanctioned, approved outlays, subsidy component (The information

with break-up maybe furnished for projects sanctioned to farmers/SC/ST entrepreneurs

and their co-operatives based on the capacity of Godowns separately).

The said progress report (Annexure VII) indicating physical and financial achievements

shall be submitted by Branches to ROs, every month by 10th day of succeeding month.

The Regional Offices shall submit a consolidated statement to HO every month by 12th

of succeeding month and the Head Office will submit the consolidated report to

Directorate of Marketing and Inspection.

In case of Rural godowns for which the advance subsidy was already released in the

years shown in the following table, the GoI has decided to stipulate the following time

limit for submission of request for Joint Monitoring Inspection (JMI), conduct of JMI and

submission of final subsidy claims. The Proforma in Annexure-VI shall be used for joint
