town / Tehsil, District and State must have been mentioned. Key
map of project land enclosed with application shows irrigation
water source (if needed), existing structure, proposed structure,
plantation area. Key map may not be as per scale but it may be
sketch for the purpose of getting idea of project land. Concerned
AD and LOI scrutiny an authority should try to ascertain that
beneficiary does not miss technically necessary infra components.
vi. Crop, its variety, plant density, plant matrix its proposed area and
source of planting material, is clearly shown. This detail should be
looked into and suitable technical advice may be given to applicant.
For this the indicative keymap of the project land should be
referred to.
vii. It should be ensured that the funding institution has valid
existence; in case of doubt about any bank its Banking License
issued by Reserve Bank of India may be referred to. In case
funding is proposed by Credit Society then the funding Institution
will be not only the concerned credit society but the Bank proper
too which provides credit to the Society. In such cases, the
proposal should be routed through the funding bank to NHB for
consideration of subsidy and subsidy reserve fund a/c in the name
of beneficiary shall be maintained at funding bank. Clarification, if
needed may be sought from the NABARD/SLBC and District
Registrar of Cooperative Societies, in case of doubt.
viii. From the project report the means of finance should be checked to
ensure that the project is not proposed to be funded by subsidy
from two or more central schemes to avoid doubling of subsidy for
the same project from two or more organizations. Similarly, the
term loan component is not less than minimum prescribed limit.
ix. The project details given in application form and in the project
report conform to each other.
x. In case of applicant being a company the same has enough
authorized capital and reserves & surplus to provide required
amount of equity. Unsecured loan should not be treated as equity.
xi. Implementation schedule of the project should be properly
examined to avoid LOI for old plantation, activities and
components.
xii. If the proposed primary processing unit produces items covered
under definition of "Fruit Product" as defined under FPO 1955, then
no objection certificate from MFPI be taken. NOC should be to the
effect that same project component has neither been assisted by it
nor is under consideration for assistance by MFPI and it has no
objection to NHB granting assistance under its scheme.
6. Keeping Proper Record of Applications Received
Particulars of applications for LOI must be recorded in a Register of
Applications for LOI in chronological order. The Register of Applications
for LOI must be properly bound and page numbered and attested by Assistant
Director I/c of Area Office or by Additional Managing Director at the Head Office.

CHAPTERII
Objective Inspection / Joint Inspection of the project is carried out with the
prime objective of ensuring that the project has been completed as per original
project report at approved project site and all essential components have been
completed with satisfactory quality of execution and acceptable standard of
workmanship. It is also aimed at verifying the vouchers and other records
maintained by the beneficiary in order to make assessment about the
componentwise actual expenditure incurred by the beneficiary and making
assessment about cost of the project. It not only gives penpicture of the project
but also provides photographs / video films as per standing instructions of NHB
by way of proof of existence of assets created.
Intimation of completion of project and carrying out Inspection / Joint
Inspection On completion of credit linked project for which LOI has been
issued by the Board, promoter will inform the concerned financing institution (FI)
/ Bank about the completion of the project. As soon as possible after receipt of
the information/documents regarding completion of the project for which Banker
himself has been authorized by NHB to carry out Inspection of the Project along
with the beneficiary, the banker will make the spot inspection of the project and
submit the Inspection Report duly signed on each page by the Bank Officer in
the NHB prescribed format. In cases requiring Joint Inspection the concerned FI
/ Bank will fix the date for Joint Inspection of the project in consultation with
concerned State I/c of NHB. Such cases will be jointly inspected by
representative of NHB and representative of financing institution (FI) / Bank in
presence of beneficiary. Representative of State Directorate of Horticulture may
also be associated as per standing orders of NHB.
i) In case of the orchard/plantation crop date of plantation, plant
density, name of the varieties grown and source and cost of purchase
of quality planting material is to be clearly mentioned in the report.
iii) In case of vermincompost unit under the project – status of
kuchha / puckka foundation / superstructure along with the
dimensions.
iv) In case of mix fruit crops – area and plant density of each crop to
be mentioned cropwise separately.
v) In case of infrastructure like Labour Quarter, Store Room,
Water Storage tank, etc. – complete dimension/area having length
and width, ceiling height and type of roof, material used for wall
(Brick with cement mortar or mud mortar, RCC etc) to be mentioned
clearly.
vi) In case of Tractor – The Inspecting Officer must ensure that a
photograph of the tractor along with beneficiary and Bank Officer and
attested copy of tractor registration certificate (RC) are to be sent.
The registration number of the tractor must tally as per the
photographs/RC as mentioned in the inspection report of the Bank
Officer / JIT.
Making Assessment of cost of components of project and project as a
whole on completion of project
Inspecting Officer / Joint Inspection Team is also responsible for making
assessment of the cost of various components of the project and the project as a
whole. It is generally made by verifying documentary proof such as vouchers /
money receipts relating to procurements / services received etc. At times, when
veracity of vouchers / money receipt is not certain, a fair assessment of cost may
be made taking into account the local rates etc. Valuation made by Chartered
accountant may also be taken into account. Generally, the FIs / Banks release
subsequent and final installments of loan after ascertaining value of work
executed through CA certificate etc. Such documents may also form the basis of
assessing cost of components of the project and project as a whole.
· Note It is advisable to inform the beneficiary about the compliances to be made by
him for forwarding subsidy claim for his project; such as, requirement of fresh affidavit
in prescribed Performa etc.
CHAPTERIII
Guidelines for Making Subsidy Claims
Eligible Project Cost (EPC) It is observed that the farmers/beneficiaries and
bankers are sometimes under impression that the subsidy @ 20% of the project
cost as appraised or as assessed during Inspection / Joint Inspection of
completed project will be sanctioned. This is not true. Therefore, it is being
clarified that 20% subsidy will be sanctioned and released against the eligible
project cost (EPC). EPC is calculated taking in to account per unit area project
cost, and componentwise cost norm. In addition, it is to be noted that the
component wise eligible cost shall be least of cost indicated in project report,
cost appraised by the bank / FI and cost assessed during Inspection / Joint
Inspection of the project. The components not indicated in project report,
appraisal report shall, therefore, be not eligible for inclusion for the purpose of
calculation of EPC. Similarly, change in crop or project site without prior approval
of NHB shall make the component or project, as the case may be, ineligible for
getting subsidy. Even the change in FI / Banker should be done with prior
approval of NHB. It should also be ensured that condition of prescribed minimum
percentage of term loan is fulfilled otherwise, subsidy claims will be rejected.
Cropwise and componentwise cost norms are enclosed at AppendixII.
Documents to be submitted with subsidy claims Keeping in view of the
above, the subsidy claims must be submitted in the form prescribed at Format
VII along with following documents including the Bank Inspection Report :
(a) Completion certificate of the project as issued by the Bank.
(b) Financial appraisal carried out by the Bank before sanction of term
loan showing means of finance along with any other details showing
investment components and their costs. In case, presanction
inspection of project site is carried out by the FI / Bank, then a
certified copy of each of such documents should also be submitted
along with subsidy claim.
(c) Term loan sanction letter issued by the Bank to the beneficiary with
detailed terms & conditions clearly mentioning the purpose of term
loan, period of repayment along with the activities e.g. plantation of
fruits crops with drip/sprinkler system, establishment of hitech green
house for commercial cut flower/horticulture produce, tissue culture
unit, primary processing of horticulture produce, establishment of
quality planting material nursery, etc. for which loan sanctioned.
(d) Date wise termloan disbursement detail for the project.
(e) Extract of termloan account of promoter related to the project.
(f) Notarized Affidavit by the farmer on Rs 20/ stamp paper as per NHB
prescribed format. (FormatIV)
(g) Copy of Record of Rights of project land as appended in loan
document by the beneficiary along with Search Report, if any, got
done by the FI / Bank. This will enable NHB tally the same with the
copy of record of right submitted by the beneficiary to NHB along
with application for LoI.
(h) Photographs taken at the time of inspection of the project duly
signed by the Bank Officer and the promoter. It should be
ensured that the Inspecting Officer (Bank Officer) along with
Promoter and NHB officer (in case of JIT) should also be seen in the
photographs.
(i) All major components of the project i.e. Drip irrigation system, PHM
infrastructure, store room, watchman / servants waiting room, water
harvesting pond, tubewell, tractor and planted crop in the field
along with sign board of project etc. must be covered in the
photographs.
(j) Duly certified expenditure statement (prepared on the basis of
vouchers/bills) by Bank or CA certificate as per NHB format
(FormatV) by way of proof of assessed cost of the project during
Inspection / Joint Inspection
(k) If release of subsidy by RTGS is preferred by the Bank then
application for the same with details of corresponding subsidy
reserve fund account (FormatVI).
Procedure for adjustment of borrower's account:
The subsidy released by NHB to Bank/FI in favour of the project shall be kept in
the separate account termed as Subsidy Reserve Fund. The adjustment of
subsidy to term loan account shall be made only as backended subsidy.
Accordingly, the full project cost including the subsidy amount but excluding the
margin money contribution from the beneficiary would be disbursed as loan by
the banks. The repayment schedule will be drawn on the loan amount in such a
way that the subsidy amount is adjusted after the bank loan portion (excluding
subsidy) is liquidated. The subsidy amount in the borrower’s Term Loan account
should be adjusted only as a part of the recovery of last installment which should
not be prior to 36 months period from the date of release of Term Loan.
Therefore, term loan account of borrower should not be charged interest from
the date subsidy amount is received by the Bank.
Submission of the Utilization Certificate by the Bank/FI:
After completion of the project and closure of borrower’s term loan account and
on adjustment subsidy amount as part of the last installment which should not
be prior to 36 months period from the date of release of Term Loan, the Bank/FI
shall submit to NHB Utilization Certificate of the subsidy amount in Performa
prescribed (FormatVIII) .
ChapterIV
Board of Directors in its last meeting held on 03.12.2009 approved the subsidy of
production related projects on per project basis on the pattern of subsidy
admissible under NHB scheme for all other credit linked components viz PHM and
Cold Storage and storage of Horticulture Produce. However, MC desired that NHB
should frame guidelines to prevent willful splitting of projects with the sole
intention of availing higher subsidy. Accordingly following guidelines are
proposed for consideration and approval of subsidy:
1. Admissible limit of subsidy per project shall not exceed 20% of the
project cost maximum up to Rs.25.00 lakh (Rs.30.00 lakh per project
in the case of North East and Hilly areas). Restrictions of number of
projects and time limit shall not apply for subsidy up to Rs.25.00 lakh
(Rs.30.00 lakh per project in the case of North East and Hilly areas)
per beneficiary).
2. The beneficiary could also establish new project (s) and avail further
subsidy without any restriction of place subject to the following
conditions:
a. The project should not be established on the same piece of land on
which subsidy had already been availed. However, if the extent of
area of a piece of land is larger than the area covered earlier for
subsidy, the subsidy shall be admissible only for uncovered area.
In other words, subsidy shall not be admissible for replantation on
a piece of land for which plantation assistance has already been
given.
b. New project should be altogether a complete project with separate
term loan and viability worked out separately by the bank. It should
not be willfully split part of any other project for the purpose of
availing higher subsidy. Accordingly, an integrated part of a project
split for the purpose of subsidy shall not be allowed. The fact that
a subsequent project has structural and operational integration
with previous project may in itself may not be sufficient to establish
willful splitting of original project if following two conditions are
fulfilled
1. First or any of the previous projects (in case of several
previous projects) is technoeconomically viable as
standalone unit,
2. Subsequent project has neither been started nor has the
loan for the same been applied for, prior to completion of,
and release of subsidy for the first project.
Illustrations Subject to condition No. 2 above
i. Protected cultivation under separate polyhouses / green
houses may be considered as separate project.
ii. Projects in open cultivation at new piece of land may be
considered as separate project.
iii. A project of producing frozen peas / cut vegetables when
split into processing unit with IQF as one unit and cold
storage as second component shall not be admissible as two
separate projects for the simple reason that processing with
IQF components without storage facility at subzero
temperature has to be integrated structurally and therefore,
the processing unit without cold storage cannot be
considered to be a complete project.
iv. Packhouse with or without precooling facility as one unit
and cold storage (zero degree and above temperature) as
second unit may be allowed as two different projects for
calculation of subsidy even though they are in same
premises for the reason that they are independently viable
projects.
c. Wherever subsidy is claimed for the 2nd project or subsequent
project (s) by same beneficiary, it would be essential that previous
project (s) must be complete, operational and not abandoned by
the promoter.
d. Multiple proposals of Public Sector undertaking / State Govt. or
state Govt. as partner under PPP arrangement may be accepted at
a time wherever sizeable quantity of a produce is needed for
commercial viability.
e. These guideline shall be applicable w.e.f. 3 Dec 2008. As a result,
proposal of issue of LOI turned down solely on the ground of upper
limit of eligible subsidy on per beneficiary basis can be reopened
and decided as per revised guidelines. However, subsidy claims
already decided for eligible subsidy, even though actual release of
subsidy might not have taken place, should not be reopened.
Subsidy claims yet to be decided would be eligible for decision in
accordance with the revised guidelines.
