This whole process is started to provide direct benefit to farmers, and it will remove the middleman profit and commission. For this, farmers have to register themselves on the epaddy.wb.gov.in portal. This is a digital platform and replaces the older manual process in which farmers need to visit offices.
Once the registration process for e Paddy procourment is completed and you submit your documents like bank and land details, half of the work is completed. Also, choose a procurement centre and select a Date of procurement. When the procurement process is completed, the payment amount will be credited directly to the bank account. Farmers who come under the Krishak Bandhu and Non-Krishak Bandhu are eligible for registration. Only the landowner is eligible to sell their crop through this process.
