Frequently Asked Questions
1. When does registration start for Phase 2?
Registration for CM Punjab Green Tractor Scheme Phase 2 officially starts on August 14, 2025. The date was chosen to coincide with Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations. Registration will continue for 30-45 days depending on district-wise demand, but early application is strongly recommended.
2. Can tenant farmers apply for the scheme?
Yes, tenant farmers can apply provided they have:
- A registered lease/tenancy agreement
- Landowner’s no-objection certificate
- Proof of active farming on the leased land
- All other eligibility criteria met
However, priority is given to land-owning farmers, so tenant farmers face higher competition.
3. What if I was rejected in Phase 1?
Being rejected in Phase 1 doesn’t disqualify you from Phase 2. You can reapply if:
- You meet all current eligibility criteria
- You address any previous rejection reasons
- You haven’t received any tractor from other schemes
- Your circumstances haven’t changed negatively
Many Phase 1 applicants successfully received tractors in Phase 2 after addressing documentation issues.
4. How long does the selection process take?
The complete process timeline is:
- Application Period: 30-45 days

- Digital Balloting: 1-2 weeks
- Result Announcement: 1 week

5. Can I choose my specific tractor model?
Yes, but with limitations:
- You can select from pre-approved models in your category
- Choice depends on dealer availability in your area
- Some high-demand models may have waiting periods
- Final confirmation happens after selection and payment
The government maintains a list of approved tractor brands and models that meet efficiency and quality standards.
6. What happens if I can’t make the down payment on time?
Unfortunately, failing to make the down payment within the specified deadline (usually 15-30 days) results in automatic disqualification. Your selection is then offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There are generally no extensions granted, so financial preparation is crucial.
7. Is there any age relaxation for experienced farmers?
The age limit (21-65 years) is strictly enforced with no relaxations. However, elderly farmers can:
- Apply through eligible family members
- Transfer land ownership to eligible heirs
- Include younger family members as co-applicants
8. Can women farmers get priority in selection?
Yes, the scheme specifically mentions priority for:
- Women farmers and applicants
- Youth-led farming operations
- Small landholders (under 10 acres)
- Widows engaged in farming
While the final selection is through digital balloting, these categories get preference in case of tie-breaking situations.
9. What if my district quota gets filled quickly?
District quotas are proportionally allocated, but if your district quota fills up:
- Your application remains valid for the next phase
- You may be considered for neighboring district quotas
- Wait for potential cancellations and re-allocations
- Apply immediately in the next registration cycle
10. Are only “green” or hybrid tractors available?
The scheme focuses on fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly tractors, but they’re not necessarily hybrid. Features include:
- Lower emission standards
- Better fuel efficiency
- Modern engine technology
- Reduced environmental impact
All approved models meet government-specified environmental standards.
