- If there are more applications than the target, the state picks beneficiaries by online lottery (cl. 4.1(a)(iv)).
- Once approved, choose any machine from a manufacturer empanelled by the state and bargain the price (cl. 6(ii)).
- After verification of the machine, the subsidy is paid to your bank account by DBT (cl. 6(ii)). Custom hiring centres get a credit-linked back-ended subsidy through the bank (Annexure-II).
