Scheme of distribution of subsidised imported Palm Oil–(during 2011-2012)
The scheme of distribution of subsidised imported Palm Oil is being implemented in the State. The GOI has sanctioned total allocation of 87,740 MT Palm oil for the State for the period from April, 2011 to September, 2011. This palm oil is being distributed to the beneficiaries in the State for the period from July, 2011 to December, 2011. Under this scheme 1 litre Palm Oil per beneficiary (i.e. per card) per month is being distributed at the subsidised rate of Rs. 45/- per litre to BPL, AAY, APL & Annapurna Beneficiaries in the State. The financial burden of the difference between the final price arrived (after taking into consideration the purchase price of the Palm Oil from the PSU, handling charges, shopkeepers margin and transport rebate) and the price finalised for the beneficiaries is borne by the State Government.
