What it pays
₹1 a litre for 60–89 pouring days, rising by ₹1 for each 30-day band to ₹5 a litre for 180 days or more, on lean-season milk poured at the society.
What the document says, word for word
For regular pouring members of MPCS under OMFED only; fewer than 60 days earns nothing in the table. No litre ceiling is printed (the table heading reads “For FY 2024-25”, but it sits in the 2025-26 lean-season guideline). Target 1,25,000 pourers.
