UP Kukkut Palan Karj Yojana 2026: Poultry Layer Farm Loan with 7% Interest Subsidy, Eligibility and How to Apply

Uttar Pradesh government is taking applications for 2026-27 under Kukkut Palan Karj Yojana, the poultry farm loan scheme that runs through UP Kukkut Vikas Niti 2022 (Poultry Development Policy). Anyone who sets up a commercial layer farm or a broiler parent farm gets 7% of the bank loan interest paid back by the state for 5 years.

Layer farms can be set up in units of 10,000, 30,000 or 60,000 birds. You apply offline at the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) office of your district, and there is no fixed last date this year. Forms are accepted through the whole of financial year 2026-27.

UP poultry farm loan application process 2026-27

There is no online form for this scheme. You apply on paper through the district animal husbandry office, and the bank handles the loan only after the department clears your project.

STEP 1 - Go to the nearest government veterinary hospital or the CVO office in your district, usually at Vikas Bhawan, and ask for the application form under Kukkut Vikas Niti 2022.

STEP 2 - Pick your unit size (10,000, 30,000 or 60,000 layer birds, or a 10,000 bird broiler parent farm) and get a detailed project report made for that size.

STEP 3 - Fill the form and attach your Aadhaar, bank passbook copy, poultry training certificate, land papers and the project report.

STEP 4 - Submit the form at the CVO office. Department staff check your land and papers, and approved projects get a Letter of Comfort that you take to the bank.

STEP 5 - Put in 30% of the project cost as margin money and take the other 70% as a bank loan. The 7% interest reimbursement is paid on this loan for 60 months.

Unit size, project cost and land needed

Project cost is fixed per unit by the animal husbandry department. These figures come from the Chitrakoot district notice for 2026-27, so the amount in your district may differ a little:

• A 10,000 bird commercial layer unit costs about ₹99.53 lakh and needs 1 acre of land.
• A 30,000 bird unit costs about ₹2.57 crore and needs 2.5 acres.
• A 60,000 bird unit costs about ₹4.92 crore and needs 4 acres.

Land must be owned by the applicant or taken on a proper lease. Broiler parent farms come in 10,000 bird units and get the same 7% interest support.

Benefits under Kukkut Vikas Niti 2022

No cash grant is paid on the project cost. All the help comes as interest, power and stamp duty relief:

• 7% interest on the bank loan is paid back for 5 years, on a 70% loan against 30% margin money.
• Electricity duty is fully waived for 10 years on up to 1 lakh units a year, paid from the animal husbandry department budget.
• Stamp duty is 100% exempt on land bought or leased for the farm, which needs a bank guarantee and a CVO certificate.
• Selected applicants get technical and business training from the department.

Amar Ujala's Gaon Junction reported in August 2026 that the interest support works out to about ₹15 lakh on the smallest unit and up to ₹1 crore on the biggest.

Who can apply for UP poultry farm subsidy

Residents of Uttar Pradesh above 18 years of age from any category can apply. First-time applicants get priority.

People who took benefit under the older 2013 policy (between March 2013 and March 2022) can apply again, but only if their earlier unit was not bigger than 30,000 layer birds or 10,000 broiler birds. Under the 2022 policy, one person gets benefit for one project only.

Documents required for poultry farm loan

Keep these papers ready before you go to the CVO office:

• Aadhaar card and a recent passport size photo
• Photocopy of bank passbook
• Poultry farming training certificate
• Land ownership papers or a registered lease deed for the required area
• Detailed project report for the unit size you picked

Other poultry and livestock schemes

If 10,000 birds is too big a start, the central government's National Livestock Mission rural poultry scheme pays up to ₹25 lakh capital subsidy for parent farms and hatcheries with 1,000 parent birds. Dairy farmers in UP can check Nand Baba Milk Mission, which gives subsidy of up to ₹31.25 lakh.

FAQ's

Can I set up a 20,000 or 40,000 bird layer farm?

Reports say capacity can be planned in multiples of 10,000 birds, but the 2026-27 district notices list only 10,000, 30,000 and 60,000 bird units. Confirm the allowed size at your CVO office before getting the project report made.

Does leased land get the stamp duty exemption?

Yes. Leased land qualifies, and the lease should be for at least 10 years.
