A farmer from Nashik had been waiting months for his tractor subsidy.
His neighbour received it in three weeks. The difference? His neighbour had logged in to MahaDBT on the first day applications opened. He had waited.
From 2025-26, Maharashtra government has implemented “First Come, First Served” (प्रथम अर्ज करणाऱ्यास प्रथम प्राधान्य) — applications are approved in the order they are received, subject to budget availability.
If you are a Maharashtra farmer — login today, not tomorrow.

Fix: Check file size (must be less than 2MB). Use PDF or JPEG format. Compress if needed before uploading.
