Manner of Execution of Subsidy Programmes

[Section-4 (1) (b) (xii)]

So far as Subsidy Programmed is Concerned, it is released under (SGSY) Swarna Jayanti Grama, Swarojagaiana Yozana as per the followings:

Subsidy under SGSY is uniform at 30% of the Project cost, subject to a maximum of Rs. 7500/- in respect of SC/STs, however, these are 50% and Rs.10,000/- respectively. For groups of Swarojagaries (SHGS), the subsidy is 50% of the cost of the Scheme, subject to a ceiling of Rs.1.25 Lakh. There are no monetary limit on subsidy for irrigation projects.  Subsidy is back-ended.

Under Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yozana, the beneficiaries are known as Swarozgaries. The Swarozgaries can be either individuals or groups. SGSY lays emphasis on group approaches under which the Rural poor are organized into self-help groups. In either case, the list of BPL households identified through BPL Census duly approved by the Gram Sabha is the basis for identification of families for assistance under SGSY. The SHGs can also be drawn from the BP: list approved by Gram Sabha.

SGSY is a credit-cum-subsidy programme. However, credit is the critical component in SGSY, subsidy being only a minor and enabling element. Accordingly, SGSY envisages a greater involvement of banks for loan linkage
