Overview
HSFDC — the Haryana Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation — runs this scheme to help Scheduled Caste households below the poverty line in Haryana build an income through piggery farming. The corporation is wholly owned by the state government, and this programme sits alongside its other self-employment initiatives.
Instead of releasing one lump sum, the scheme stacks two kinds of money together. A non-repayable subsidy forms the government's share of the project, while a bank loan arranged through HSFDC's tie-ups with lenders covers the balance. Put together, they allow a beneficiary to set up a piggery unit with a project cost of up to ₹1,50,000 without having to arrange the whole amount from personal resources.
The scheme is meant for economically weaker Scheduled Caste families in both rural and urban parts of Haryana. It is positioned as a livelihood intervention — the earnings from the piggery are expected to pull a household toward financial independence.
Applications run on a rolling basis, so there is no closing date to race against. You can register through the HSFDC portal, or use the offline route at the credit camps and Open Darbars the corporation holds across the districts.

Who can apply
Every applicant has to clear a set of conditions, and HSFDC field staff verify each one before an application is forwarded.
- Residency: You must live in Haryana.
- Community: You must belong to the Scheduled Caste category.
- Poverty status: Your family must fall under the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category.
- Income: Annual family income must not exceed ₹1,80,000. The same ceiling applies to rural and urban households.

The scheme is framed around an individual taking up piggery farming as a self-employment activity, so the beneficiary is the person applying rather than an institution.

Deadline & timing
Piggery Farming Scheme (HSFDC): ₹1.5L Support for SC Families in Haryana accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.
What the funding covers
The financial package is sized for a piggery project with a total cost of up to ₹1,50,000.
- Subsidy: 50% of the project cost comes as a subsidy, capped at a maximum of ₹10,000. This portion is not repaid.
- Bank loan: The remaining project cost is extended as a composite loan by banks that have a tie-up with HSFDC.
- Combined effect: The subsidy lowers the amount you need to borrow, and the loan supplies the capital required to establish and run the piggery unit.
Because both components are part of the same package, a beneficiary gets access to a project-sized sum rather than being limited to the subsidy alone.

- Sponsorship to a bank: Applicants who clear this field-level check have their papers sponsored to a collaborating bank.
- Bank sanction: The bank then takes the final call on sanctioning the composite loan together with the subsidy.
Only those who come through the verification stage are sponsored, so the accuracy of the information and documents you submit largely decides whether your file reaches a bank.

Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for the Piggery Farming Scheme?
You need to be a resident of Haryana, belong to the Scheduled Caste category, and come from a Below Poverty Line family. Your family's yearly income cannot go beyond ₹1,80,000, and your name must appear in the official BPL Survey List. HSFDC field staff check each of these conditions before an application is sponsored to a bank, so keep the supporting papers ready.
How much financial support does the scheme offer?
The piggery project can be worth up to ₹1,50,000. Of that, 50% is given as a subsidy but is capped at ₹10,000, and the remaining project cost is provided as a bank loan under HSFDC's arrangements with partner banks.
Is the subsidy repayable, or is it a loan?
The subsidy portion — a maximum of ₹10,000 — is non-repayable. The rest of the project cost is a bank loan, and it has to be repaid on the terms the sanctioning bank sets.
Does the scheme take equity in my piggery business?
No. Support comes as a subsidy plus a bank loan, so no equity or ownership stake is taken in your venture. The subsidy is non-dilutive, and the loan is simply debt.
Is there an application deadline?
The scheme runs on a rolling basis, which means there is no fixed last date. You can register on the HSFDC portal whenever you are ready, though the later stages — field verification and bank sanction — follow their own timelines.
What documents do I need to apply?
You will be asked for proof of identity such as an Aadhaar card, proof of residence, your Scheduled Caste certificate, a BPL card or an extract from the BPL Survey List, and an income certificate confirming your family's annual income. In the online process these are uploaded as scanned copies, so make sure each one is clear and readable.
How do I apply online?
Go to the HSFDC portal at https://hscfdc.org.in/appreg, open the Bank Tie-up Scheme section and pick the Apply for Loan option. Enter your name, Aadhaar number, email address and mobile number, complete the captcha and register; an OTP sent to your mobile verifies the registration. The full application form then opens, covering your personal background, family information, financial status and the piggery project you propose. Upload your documents, submit, and note the user ID and password you receive. Log back in, complete the Edit Profile section including surety details, and click Final Submit. It is advisable to print a copy of the submitted application for your records.
Can I apply offline?
Yes. HSFDC collects applications at credit camps, Open Darbars and similar outreach functions held in the districts, all supervised by Deputy Commissioners and Additional Deputy Commissioners. If the online route is difficult for you, that is where your form can be filled and submitted.
What happens after I submit my application?
HSFDC field staff verify your residency, your category, your BPL status and your family income. If everything checks out, your application is sponsored to a collaborating bank, which then sanctions the composite loan and the subsidy. If verification does not clear, the file does not move forward.
Is the scheme only for rural families?
No. The income ceiling of ₹1,80,000 applies to both rural and urban families, and HSFDC positions the scheme as support for Scheduled Caste communities across Haryana, not only in villages.
