Reasons For Delay In Draw
Let’s continue the article and talk first about the delay in the draw. In this regard, let me tell you that according to the updates that have been brought forward so far, the reason for the delay in the lottery is that the investigation of the applications submitted by the farmers has not been completed. It should be remembered that under this scheme, the Punjab government announced to provide subsidy to 9500 farmers for the purchase of tractors in the first phase, and the government has received more than fifteen lakh applications from all over Punjab for the subsidy. And this is the reason that the investigation is taking time due to receiving more than one estimated application, due to which the draw is getting delayed.
مضمون کو اگے بڑھاتے ہیں اور سب سے پہلے بات کرتے ہیں قرعہ اندازی میں تاخیر کے حوالے سے. اس حوالے سے میں اپ لوگوں کو بتاتا چلوں کہ ابھی تک سامنے انے والی اپڈیٹس کے مطابق قرعہ اندازی میں تاخیر کی وجہ کسانوں کی جانب سے جمع کروائی گئی درخواستوں کی چھان بین مکمل نہ ہونا بتائی جارہی ہے. یاد رہے اس سکیم کے تحت پنجاب حکومت کی جانب سے پہلے مرحلے کے اندر 9500 کسانوں کو ٹریکٹر کی خریداری پر سبسڈی فراہم کرنے کا اعلان کیا گیا تھا اور سبسڈی کے حصول کے لیے حکومت کو پنجاب بھر سے تقریبا پندرہ لاکھ سے زائد درخواستیں موصول ہوئی ہیں. اور یہی وجہ ہے کہ ایک اندازے سے زائد درخواستیں موصول ہونے کی وجہ سے چھان بین میں وقت لگ رہا ہے اور جس وجہ سے قرعہ اندازی تاخیر کا شکار ہو رہی ہے.
New Estimated Date of Draw
If you had also submitted your application for getting subsidy in the tractor scheme, then surely, after knowing the reasons for the delay in the draw, the question will be in your mind: what is the new date of the draw? So in this regard, let me make it clear to you that currently no final date of the draw has been announced by the Punjab government. However, according to the news received from specific sources, the draw is expected on November 1, 2024. As this is not the final date, the draw may be completed earlier than 1st November 2024 and may be delayed further. Further, if the Punjab Government announces any final date regarding the draw, you will be fully informed immediately.
But according to the news received from the sources, it is hoped that there will be no further delay in the draw. So those farmers who have completed their registration process need not be disappointed about the draw, as the delay in the draw is ultimately good for them.
How will successful farmers be notified?
If we talk about how the farmers who are successful in the draw will be informed. So, in this regard, let me tell you that as soon as the lottery process is completed, the successful farmers will be informed through SMS. Along with this, the lists of successful farmers will also be released on the official website of the Green Tractor Scheme for the convenience of farmers. So that if any farmer does not receive the SMS of success in the draw, he can access the lists on the official website to verify himself.
Next Steps for Farmers
The farmers declared successful for the subsidy will have to deposit the registration fee of the tractor and the remaining amount of their share within the next one month according to the procedure specified by the government. It should be remembered that if a successful farmer does not deposit his share amount and tractor registration fee within the next one month, his allotment will be cancelled. And if the farmer deposits his share amount and the registration fee of the tractor within the next one month, then the process of delivery of the tractor will be started as soon as the fee is deposited by the Punjab govt. And the delivery order of the tractor will be issued to the farmer within the next one month.
