New Punjab Custom Milling Policy Implementation
As per the Punjab Custom Milling Policy, all rice delivery operations are managed and monitored online. This includes allotment, registration and physical verification of rice mills under the policy for paddy. Various state procuring agencies including Pungrain, Markfed, Punsup, Punjab State Warehousing Corporation (PSWC), rice millers and other stakeholders operate and interact on the Punjab Anaaj Kharid Portal.
The Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs of the Punjab government acts as the nodal department for policy implementation. In this policy, the sole criterion for allotment of free paddy to mills this season is the miller's performance in the last year.
Incentive Amount for Mills for Delivery / Milling of Paddy
An additional percentage-wise incentive is provided to mills as per their date of delivery of rice against milling of custom-milled paddy including RO paddy in the previous year. The incentive amount under the Punjab Custom Milling Policy is given below.
- Rice mills that had completed their entire milling by a specified date are eligible for an additional 15% of free paddy milled in that financial year.
- Those who had completed delivery of rice by the specified date get an additional 10% of free paddy.
All those rice millers and FRK suppliers who wish to change or edit their supply order must submit their request letter showing mutual consent on the department e-mail ID ricebranch.fcs@punjab.gov.in within the time window fixed by the department. No such request is allowed after this time window.
Enhanced Bank Guarantee by Punjab Govt. for Anaaj Kharid
The Punjab government has also increased the bank guarantee for security of the stocks. Millers are required to furnish an enhanced bank guarantee equal to 10% of the value of acquisition cost of allocated free paddy above 3,000 metric tonnes (MTs). This is against 5% on 5,000 MTs given earlier by the state government. The lowering of the threshold limit for submission of bank guarantee brings additional mills within the direct monitoring ambit. In addition, a miller has to purchase a minimum of 150 MTs of paddy in his own account or deposit an amount of ₹5 lakh (non-refundable) in the state treasury and ₹5 lakh in the form of refundable security online in the Pungrain account.
RO Paddy in Ambit of Custom Milling Security
Another measure to guard against any paddy diversion is the decision to bring RO paddy into the ambit of custom milling security (CMR). From now onward, millers are required to deposit ₹125 for each MT for every paddy stored or part thereof, including RO paddy, with the agency concerned. To tackle the issue of moisture content in CMR, the policy requires compulsory installation of dryer and sortex for a new mill and in case of enhancement of capacity. The target is to complete the custom milling of paddy and deliver all due rice to the Food Corporation of India by a specified date.
