Who Can Apply — Land and Residence Rules
Eligibility depends on land ownership, residence and identity. A farmer applying for a large tractor must own at least 7 acres of land, while a small tractor needs at least 5 acres. The land record is verified through the Punjab Land Records Authority. The applicant must be a resident of Punjab and must hold a valid CNIC.
- Large tractor: at least 7 acres of PLRA-verified land.
- Small tractor: at least 5 acres of PLRA-verified land.
- Residence: Punjab resident only, with a valid CNIC.
How to Apply on the Official Portal
Applications are submitted online through the official portal at gts.punjab.gov.pk. Farmers enter their CNIC number and land details, and the system checks the land record against Punjab Land Records Authority data. There is no fee mentioned for applying through the portal. Farmers should apply themselves or with help from a trusted family member, and should never pay an agent to submit an application on their behalf.
- Portal: gts.punjab.gov.pk is the only official application portal.
- Details needed: valid CNIC and PLRA-verified land record.
- No agents: never pay anyone to apply for you.
Balloting and Deliveries in Batches
Tractors are allocated through computerized balloting, and deliveries take place in batches. Farmers selected in the balloting are informed through official channels and must then complete the payment of their share before delivery. Because demand is high, not every applicant is selected in a single round. Farmers who are not selected should watch for further announcements from the Agriculture Department about later rounds.
- Selection: computerized balloting decides who receives a tractor.
- Deliveries: tractors are delivered in batches after balloting.
- Payment: selected farmers pay their share before delivery.
Application Window — Check Before You Apply
Farmers should note that one source lists 31 October 2026 as a last date for applications, so this article does not claim that applications are open right now. Phase 2 allocations and deliveries are continuing, and the correct step is to check the portal at gts.punjab.gov.pk for the current window. If the portal shows applications closed, wait for the next announced window rather than trusting any agent who promises entry.
- Check the portal: gts.punjab.gov.pk shows the current window.
- Last date caution: one source lists 31 October 2026; do not assume applications are open.
- Deliveries continue: Phase 2 allocations and deliveries are under way.
Why the Scheme Matters for Punjab Farmers
Mechanisation is one of the fastest ways to raise farm productivity, and a tractor is often the single most expensive machine a small farmer needs. The subsidy cuts the cost sharply: Rs 1,000,000 off a large tractor and Rs 500,000 off a small one. For farmers with 5 to 7 acres or more, owning a tractor means timely ploughing and sowing, lower rental costs, and the chance to earn from hiring the tractor out to neighbours.
- Lower cost: the subsidy cuts the price by Rs 500,000 to Rs 1,000,000.
- Timely farming: own machinery means sowing on time.
- Extra income: a tractor can be hired out to neighbouring farmers.
