Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026.
According to the source, the Government of India approved Nutrient-Based Subsidy rates for the Rabi 2025-26 season for Phosphatic and Potassic fertilisers.
The rates apply from 1 October 2025 through 31 March 2026.
Fertilisers covered include products such as DAP and various NPKS grades.
The source states that the decision was taken by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers and implemented by the Department of Fertilizers, with a budget allocation of ₹37,952.29 crore.
The NBS scheme itself was launched on 1 April 2010.
Under the scheme, fixed subsidies are provided on P&K fertilisers.
Its broader purpose is to promote balanced fertilisation and reduce excessive dependence on nitrogen.
According to the source, coverage has expanded to 28 fertiliser types.
The nutrient-wise subsidy rates given for Rabi 2025-26 are also highly examination-relevant: Nitrogen ₹43.02 per kilogram, Phosphorus ₹47.96 per kilogram, Potassium ₹2.38 per kilogram and Sulphur ₹2.87 per kilogram.
The source additionally states that the subsidy on DAP was increased to ₹29,805 per metric tonne.
Students should keep the season, applicability period, nutrient rates and ministry associations separate.
A common examination trap could change the effective period to the calendar year or Kharif period.
Here the exact source period is 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026.
For quick revision: NBS → Rabi 2025-26 → P&K fertilisers → effective 1 Oct 2025-31 Mar 2026 → Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers → Department of Fertilizers → ₹37,952.29 crore → scheme launched 1 Apr 2010 → balanced fertilisation → 28 fertiliser types → DAP subsidy ₹29,805
