Andhra Pradesh Waives Development Charges for Poultry Farms
The government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to help chicken farmers by not making them pay certain fees.
These fees are usually charged when building new chicken farms or updating existing ones in cities.
Now, the fees that chicken farmers pay will be the same as what farmers pay in the countryside, making it cheaper for them.
This decision was made to help the chicken farmers save money and is based on an older rule from a few years ago.
So, chicken farms in the cities will be treated the same as those in the rural areas when it comes to these charges.
The Andhra Pradesh government exempted poultry farmers from paying development and betterment charges.
The charges are typically levied by urban local bodies and urban development authorities.
The order aligns fees for poultry sheds in urban areas with rural gram panchayats.
This change provides relief to poultry operators.
The decision is based on a Government Order from February 8, 2016.
