If you resort to coercion or provide false information, your application will be rejected. The government can also take legal action to recover the subsidy amount, along with applicable interest.

Your land records or possession certificate need to be officially certified by your Village Authority or a competent State Government Authority. These verified documents are then submitted as part of your application.

No, the scheme allows each eligible tribal grower to receive financial assistance for only one unit of a baby pulper.

The cost of one baby pulper unit is considered to be either the actual price paid or ₹16,000, whichever is less. The subsidy you receive will be 75% of this determined unit cost.

The Joint Director (Extension) in Guwahati manages the entire tendering process. Once the tendering is done, they obtain financial approval and then place orders with the chosen manufacturers for the baby pulpers.

Manufacturers are required to supply the baby pulpers by October. This ensures that growers receive the equipment in time for the coffee processing season.

After the pulpers are ordered, the Extension Officers visit the growers' fields. They conduct physical inspections to verify the machinery and submit these reports, which are needed to process the payments.

You need to submit two main documents: proof of your registration as a grower and your land records or possession certificate. Crucially, these land records must be certified by the Village Authority or a competent government body and must be in your name.

By providing you with a baby pulper, the scheme helps you process your coffee beans to a higher quality standard. This, along with the possibility of certification, allows you to market your coffee as a premium product and therefore earn better returns.

No, simply applying does not guarantee a subsidy. The release of the subsidy depends on the availability of funds in a particular financial year. Applications are processed based on fund availability.

The Coffee Board has the right to modify the terms and conditions of the scheme at any time. These changes can be made depending on factors like fund availability and other administrative reasons.

The Deputy Director (Extension) plays a key role in consolidating the coffee growing regions' needs. They review the list of potential beneficiaries compiled by the Extension Officers before sending it to the Joint Director (Extension) in Guwahati for further processing.

If the baby pulpers are being procured by the State Government or other authorized agencies, the local Extension Officer will collect your details. You will also need to pay 25% of the unit cost to the Extension Officer at this stage.
