“My Government had started a Milk Incentive Scheme last year for registered cooperative institutions of Himachal Pradesh related to milk procurement. Under this, the Government is giving farmers associated with some institutions an incentive amount of 3 rupees per liter directly into their account through DBT. … therefore my Government from the next financial year will increase the assistance of 3 rupees per liter to 6 rupees per liter.”How much can I claim?
