Hello, sir ,can I get the subsidy given by maharashtra state government for polyhouse construction on rented farm land near pune..??
Hello Kunal
You get polyhouse subsidy on rental land but you have to create a long-term rental agreement ( 5- 10 years) on 100 RS stamp paper and this document is required to submit along with your polyhouse project report and other related documents.
If we have rental land then by how much profit will impacted?
What is average rental cost for the land in maharashtra.
Hello Kunal,
Rent of land is change with the area to an area it also depends upon various factors like soil type, water source distance from the main road, there is no such rule but in western maharastara, it calculated on the basis of sugarcane crop income for one acre it is around 30-80 thousand.
The rental land is not made so much effect on profit.
