WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO A CLIENT AS SUBSIDY(Eg: purchase of cows)

In fact there is no limit at present in case of panchayaths. In municipalities and corporations it is 25000/ for BPL and Rs 16665/ for APL marginal farmers with Animal husbandry as main occupation.
Before 11/07/2008 the percentage and amount of subsidy was as per SGSY norms in rural areas and SJSRY in urban areas. (GO(MS)183/07/LSGD dated 24/07/07.)
Under SGSY (Panchayats):
30% of project cost with a maximum subsidy of Rs 7500/ for individuals under general category. For SC and ST individual beneficiaries 50% of project cost with a maximum of Rs 10000/. There is no limit to total project cost in SGSY. SGSY norms are given in GO(MS) No 187/99 LSGD dated 1/10/1999.
Under SJSRY( Municipalities and Corporations)
15% of the project cost with a maximum of Rs 7500/ per beneficiary. The maximum project cost is Rs 50000/. (GO(MS) 111/98/LAD dated 29/05/2009.)
However for kudumbasree units in urban areas SGSY group subsidy of 50% of project cost with a maximum amount of Rs 125000/ can be given.
But after 11/07/2008 the situation is changed.
As per GO (MS) No 199/2008 LSGD dated 11/07/08 subsidy for BPL is 50% of unit cost to be fixed by DLTAG of each district. The maximum unit cost is Rs 20000/. For marginal farmers with animal husbandry as main occupation, 33 1/3 % of unit cost can be given as subsidy.
So there is no specification of “ maximum subsidy” nor “maximum project cost” in rural areas but only maximum “unit cost” and so as per the existing orders panchayaths can formulate schemes with any number of units for an individual, but limiting the per unit cost at 20000/ or whatever fixed by the DLTAG. But in urban areas the total project cost should be limited to Rs 50000/, that is a maximum of 2.5 units having a unit cost of Rs 20000/
I know it is a little bit confusing, but it is due to the lack of comprehensiveness in present day government orders and we are bound to go by GOs only and not by any body else’s clarifications.
You can have difference of opinion and you are welcome to discuss it.
