The March 4 letter said that FCI, Zonal Office (N), Noida, has directed that land records are a requirement for wheat procurement in RMS 2021-22.
The director has been asked to update the land records on the Annaj Khardi Portal before the commencement of the RMS 2021-22 to avoid complications.
The letter further says: “It is requested to share data of land records and convey to the office where to seek out it in order that FCI shall verify land records of farmers during RMS 2021-22 with reference to FCI’s own purchase.”

Currently, arhtiyas (commission agents) get the payments in their accounts, which they successively pay to farmers through cheques. The Centre has got to pay a 2.5 percent commission to arhtiyas who facilitate procurement of the crop from farmers to government agencies and take a commission for that from the govt .
