Recently, there was news of relief for the farmers from the central government. The central government has increased the subsidy limit for fertilizers. Significantly, the international prices of phosphoric acid, ammonia etc. used under the DAP have increased by about 60 to 70%. Due to this, the price of DAP bag has gone up to Rs 2400.
However, for the purpose of not disturbing the farmers due to these increased prices, the central government has increased the subsidy amount, so that now it will be available to the farmers only in Rs. 1200. The cost of one sack of fertilizer will be Rs 1200 for the farmers only if they buy it by showing Aadhar card or Kisan card. At this time the identity of the farmer will also be established with the help of biometric (thumb impression). After this, Rs 1211 of the subsidy will be transferred by the government to the fertilizer companies.
