Paddy sold to the state is paid at ₹3,100 a quintal in all, for up to 21 quintals an acre.
What the document says, word for word
This is the budget speech’s description. The scheme order that fixes the per-acre input assistance (the amount above MSP) and its payment schedule could not be retrieved from the department’s portal, so we show the ₹3,100 total only. The speech also says pulses, oilseeds, maize, kodo-kutki, ragi and cotton were added to the scheme, without a rate.
