What the document says, word for word

Panchayats and registered farmer groups also get 80% (portal rate table; Budget Speech 2026-27 para 46 for panchayats), but our calculator has no panchayat or farmer-group category.

“ਮਸ਼ੀਨਰੀ ਦੀ ਕੀਮਤ ਦਾ 80% ਜਾਂ ਵਿਭਾਗ ਵਲੋਂ ਨਿਰਧਾਰਿਤ ਸਬਸਿਡੀ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਜੋ ਘੱਟ ਹੋਵੇ ਮਿਲੇਗੀ ।”
