Latest Update
The Punjab Agriculture Department has extended the last date for submitting applications under the Chief Minister Punjab High-Power Green Tractor Programme to October 30, 2026. Farmers who have not yet applied now have a final window to submit their applications for one of the 9,500 high-power tractors offered under this phase of the programme.
The department’s spokesman has made one point very clear: no further extension will be granted beyond October 30. This is the final deadline, so eligible farmers should complete their applications well before the last day instead of waiting for another announcement.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?
The programme is open to farmers in Punjab who meet the published conditions. The core requirements are:
- Land ownership: The applicant must own at least seven acres of agricultural land.
- Tractor category: Applications are for high-power tractors of 75 horsepower or above.
- Subsidy: Each selected farmer receives a subsidy of Rs 1 million towards the tractor.
Farmers who own less than seven acres do not qualify for this phase, so there is no benefit in applying with incomplete or incorrect land records.
How to Apply Online (Computerized Villages) — Step by Step
- Open the official portal: Visit the programme’s online portal at gts.punjab.gov.pk. You can also reach the application section through the Agriculture Department’s official website, agripunjab.gov.pk.
- Start your application: Open the Green Tractor Programme application form for the high-power phase.
- Enter your details: Fill in your personal information and land ownership details exactly as they appear in your official records.
- Review before submitting: Check every entry carefully. A mismatch between the form and your land record can lead to rejection during verification.
- Submit and save your reference: Submit the form and keep the confirmation or reference details safe for future tracking.
How to Apply on Paper (Non-Computerized Villages)
Farmers in villages where land records are not computerized should use the paper route:
- Get the form free: Download the application form from the department’s website, or collect it free of charge from your nearest Agriculture Extension office.
- Complete the form: Fill in all the required information carefully and attach the information the form asks for.
- Submit to the right office: Submit the completed form to the office of the relevant Deputy Director of Agriculture (Extension) for your area.
- Submit before the deadline: Paper applications must also reach the office by October 30, 2026.
Deadline Warning: October 30 Is Final
The Agriculture Department has stated clearly that no further extension will be given after October 30. Farmers who delay, expecting another extension, will simply miss the programme. Both online and paper applicants should aim to finish several days early, because last-day rush, portal load, or a missing document can waste the entire opportunity.
For guidance, visit your Agriculture Extension office or call the agricultural helpline 0800-17000, which operates daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for another extension: The department has confirmed there will be none. Treat October 30 as the last possible day.
- Applying with less than 7 acres: The land condition is mandatory for this phase. Applications below the requirement will not qualify.
- Submitting the form to the wrong office: Paper forms go to the relevant Deputy Director of Agriculture (Extension) office — not to any other government office.
- Paying agents: The application form is free and the process is straightforward. Anyone charging money to “arrange” a tractor is misleading you.
- Entering details that do not match land records: Names, CNIC numbers and land details must match official records, or verification can fail.
