Tier 1 — Sell your own crop

Tier 2 — Trade as licensed trader/agent
Licence required · fee varies
Trader / commission agent licence under the Telangana APMC Act.
Tier 3 — Own a private mandi
Serious capital · for FPOs/investors
Private market licence under the Telangana APMC Act; fee + bank guarantee; 5 km rule applies.

How selling actually works in Telangana
Paddy MSP procurement runs via a token system at notified IKP/purchase centres with DBT; land records are verified against the Dharani database.
MSP procurement agency: Telangana State Civil Supplies Corporation + state agencies + FCI.
Legal commission rate: Market fee ~0.5–1%; commission ~2–4% — verify the notified rate.
eNAM integration: About 57 mandis integrated — approx.
What they don't tell you — know your rights
- • Turmeric (Nizamabad) and chilli price crashes in glut seasons.
- • Cotton MSP: grade-down deductions at ginneries.
- • Paddy procurement limits (grain-per-acre caps) in some seasons.
- • Protect yourself: always take and keep the official weighment slip (parchi) and the auction bill for every sale — it is your proof in any dispute. Anything charged beyond the legal commission rate can be reported to the Market Committee.
