Madam/Sir,
In continuation of this Departments letter of even no. dated 10 th august 2009 conveying continuation of
revised Concession Scheme for SSP fertilizer for three (3) months w.e.f 1 st July 2009 up to 30th September 2009,
I am directed to convey that the Government have decided to implement a revised policy for ad hoc subsidy for
SSP w.e.f 1 st October 2009, as per the following terms and conditions.
2. In place of the existing all India MRP of Rs. 3400 per MT for Powdered SSP, Government of India has decided
to leave the selling price of SSP open w.e.f 1 st October 2009. accordingly, the selling price of Granulated and
boronated SSP will also be open.
3. Government will provide an ad hoc concession of Rs. 2000 per MT for Powdered, Granulated and boronated
SSP w.e.f 1 st October 2009.
4. ‘On account’ Payment of 85% for sales w.e.f 1 st October 2009 will be made on the basis of the claim submitted
by the eligible manufactures/marketers of SSP in Proforma ‘a’ & ‘C’ certified by their statutory auditor on
sale of Powdered, Granulated and boronated SSP in the district of the State. The ‘On account’ payment is
contingent on the manufacturers/marketers certifying that ‘Quality Certified’ stamp (quality as per FCO) has
been put on each bag of SSP released in the market and also certification of quality of SSP as per the FCO
at the point of production by the State in which the production unit is located. The balance payment will be
made after certification of sales of SSP is received from the State Government concerned (State in which
sales has taken place) certifying quantity of SSP sold w.e.f 1 st October 2009 as well as its quality as per FCO as
per Proforma ‘b’. The State Governments are also required to mention that the bags of SSP sold in the State
contained the stamp ‘Quality Certified’.
5. The responsibility of regulation and maintaining quality of SSP produced and sold in the States as per
the specifications of the FCO is of the State Governments. The State in which the SSP units are located is
required to inspect and certify the quality of SSP at the point of production in their States for enabling the
manufacturers/marketers of SSP to claim On account subsidy. The manufacturers/marketers are also required
to certify to the Department that bags of SSP have been released in the market with stamp ‘Quality Certified’.
The State Government concerned, in which sale of SSP has taken place, is required to certify quantity of sales
of SSP as well as its quality as per FCO for final settlement of the claim for subsidy. The Department would
continue to monitor the quality and other details as at present through the inspection conducted by the
Project Development India ltd (PDIl, a PSU under the Department of Fertilizers).
6. ad hoc concession for SSP w.e.f 1 st October 2009 will be provided to those eligible SSP units only, which have
either annual capacity utilization of at least 50% or annual production of 40,000 MT of SSP. For the purpose
