Piggery Farming Scheme (HSFDC): ₹1.5L Support for SC Families in Haryana — Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
