Fee Return & Stipend Policy

01₹15,000 in. Up to ₹15,000 back. Here is exactly how it works.

You pay the ₹15,000 program fee at enrolment. During the supervised field-work phase — Months 4, 5 and 6 — you can earn a monthly payment of ₹5,000 by meeting that month’s conditions. Three qualifying months return the full ₹15,000.

This policy forms part of the Program Terms & Conditions.

02What the payment is

Legal nature of the ₹5,000 monthly payment: [DECISION: choose one — (a) a training stipend paid for supervised field work; (b) a refund of part of the program fee earned by performance; (c) a performance-linked payment — and confirm the tax / TDS treatment with your accountant].

Throughout our website and documents we call it the Fee Return / Stipend. It is paid by [DECISION: confirm contracting entity — Permanent Farming Solution Pvt. Ltd. or Huntin Organics Pvt. Ltd.; must match the invoice and payment account].

03Maximum benefit

₹5,000 × 3 months = ₹15,000. The total paid under this policy can never exceed the program fee you paid. Months 1–3 carry no stipend.

04Conditions for each month

Each of Months 4, 5 and 6 is assessed on its own. You earn that month’s ₹5,000 when, for that month:

• your attendance on scheduled field days is at or above [DECISION: monthly attendance threshold];
• you have completed the field activities assigned for the month (farmer meetings, dealer visits, demonstrations);
• your reports and CRM entries for the month are complete and submitted on time;
• your KPI score on the NMASTE dashboard for the month is at or above [DECISION: monthly KPI threshold];
• you have no substantiated conduct issue for the month.

Your coach reviews these at the end of each month. You can see your attendance and KPI figures on the dashboard at any time.

05How the payment is calculated

[DECISION: choose — (a) all-or-nothing: ₹5,000 if all conditions are met, otherwise nil for that month; or (b) pro-rata: ₹5,000 × (KPI achieved ÷ KPI target), capped at ₹5,000, provided attendance and conduct conditions are met].

06When it is paid

A qualifying month’s stipend is processed within [DECISION: e.g. 10 working days] after the end of that month, once the coach’s review is complete. It is paid by bank transfer to the account in your name that you provide during enrolment. We do not pay in cash or to third-party accounts.

07If you miss the conditions in a month

If a month’s conditions are not met, [DECISION: choose — (a) that month’s stipend is not paid and cannot be recovered; (b) the month can be repeated once at the end of the program, with the stipend paid if the repeated month qualifies; or (c) another defined rule].

Where the shortfall is performance-related, you will be offered re-training under the Program Terms.

08Absence and leave

Approved leave (illness with a medical certificate, bereavement, or other reasons approved in writing by your coach in advance) is excluded from the attendance calculation for that month. Unapproved absence counts against attendance.

09If you withdraw

If you withdraw from the program, stipend already paid for completed qualifying months is yours to keep. No stipend is paid for the month of withdrawal or any later month. Your fee is then handled under the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

10If your participation is terminated

If we terminate your participation for misconduct under the Program Terms, no further stipend is paid from the date of termination. Stipend already paid for earlier qualifying months is not reclaimed unless it was obtained through falsified records.

11Stipend is not salary

The Fee Return / Stipend is paid during the program for supervised field work. It is separate from the ₹15,000-per-month starting salary of a placed Farmer Outreach Executive, which begins only after you are placed under the Job Guarantee Policy. Receiving the stipend does not make you an employee of NMASTE or PFS.
