Link with Rythu Bandhu scheme:
TS Government has confirmed that the lands linked with Aadhar number only will be considered for input subsidy scheme. Lands that are not linked will be treated as benami lands. The decision has been taken after identifying several farmers not linking their lands entered in Pattadar passbooks with Aadhar in Medchal and Ranga Reddy districts.
