<h1>Minimum Support Price procurement secures direct Aadhaar-linked payments and biometric verification to protect farmers and ensure transparency.</h1> The State operates a kharif paddy Minimum Support Price procurement program through designated centres, with established rates for common and Grade A paddy. Procurement is phased by area and relies on farmer registration across the state. Operational rules require biometric e-POP verification at centres to prevent intermediaries and mandate direct payment into Aadhaar-linked bank accounts within a short period, supported by a toll-free number for information and grievances.
