Punjab farmers who were selected under the government’s tractor subsidy program have received an important update. The Green Tractor Phase III Payment Deadline has officially been announced, and authorities have confirmed that 6 March 2026 is the final date to complete the payment process.
The Punjab Agriculture Department has made it clear that farmers who fail to deposit their required amount and collect their allotment letters before the deadline will automatically lose their tractor subsidy. Once cancelled, the tractors will be reassigned to farmers on the waiting list.
This announcement has created urgency among selected farmers across Punjab who are now rushing to complete their payments before the deadline expires.
What Is the Green Tractor Phase III Program?
The Green Tractor Phase III program is part of the Chief Minister’s initiative to modernize agriculture in Punjab. The scheme provides tractors to small and medium farmers at subsidized rates so they can improve productivity and reduce farming costs.
The program is managed by the Punjab Agriculture Department, which oversees the selection of farmers, payment process, and tractor distribution.
