What is the market fee rate in Haryana mandis?

Haryana levies market fee at 2% ad valorem on notified agricultural produce, reduced to 1% on 21 scheduled items. The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board has separately notified market fee on all fruits and vegetables at 0%. A Haryana Rural Development Fee is charged in addition to market fee.

What is HRDF in Haryana?

HRDF is the Haryana Rural Development Fee, an ad valorem levy charged in addition to market fee and earmarked for rural infrastructure. It is notified separately from market fee, often at a different rate, and must be tracked as a separate ledger head because both report independently in Market Committee audit.

How much commission does an arhtiya get in Haryana?

On MSP procurement of wheat and paddy the commission is a fixed per-quintal rate rather than a percentage. From Rabi 2026-27 it is ₹50.75 per quintal for wheat, up from ₹46.00, and ₹50.61 per quintal for paddy, up from ₹45.88. On private trade the percentage convention applies and is negotiated.

Which commodities get the reduced 1% market fee in Haryana?

Haryana runs a general 2% rate plus a reduced 1% schedule covering 21 specified commodities. The item list is published by HSAMB as a downloadable schedule rather than in page text, so request the current schedule and its notification number from your Market Committee secretary rather than relying on third-party summaries.

Short answer: Haryana levies market fee at 2% ad valorem on notified agricultural produce, reduced to 1% on 21 scheduled items, with a separate Haryana Rural Development Fee (HRDF) on top. The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board has also notified market fee on all fruits and vegetables at 0%. On MSP procurement the arhtiya's commission is a fixed per-quintal rate, not a percentage.

The charges, separated

Charge	Rate	Who bears it
Market fee	2% ad valorem; 1% on 21 scheduled items; 0% on fruits and vegetables	Buyer / procuring agency
HRDF (Haryana Rural Development Fee)	Notified separately — confirm the current rate with your Market Committee	Buyer / procuring agency
Arhtiya commission	Fixed per quintal on MSP procurement; negotiated percentage on private trade	Procuring agency / buyer
Labour (palledari, tulai)	Per-bag or per-quintal, by mandi convention	Usually deducted from the seller's patti

The Market Committees contribute 30% of the fee they collect to the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board. Current schedules and the item list are published by HSAMB.

The 21-item schedule is the part people get wrong

Haryana does not run a single flat rate. It runs a general rate of 2% plus a reduced 1% schedule covering 21 specified commodities. Billing everything at 2% overcharges on those items; billing everything at 1% underpays the Market Committee and shows up in audit.

The commodity list is published as a downloadable schedule by HSAMB rather than in the page text, so ask your Market Committee secretary for the current schedule and the notification number rather than working from a third-party summary — including this one.

Fruits and vegetables at 0%

HSAMB has notified a reduction of market fee on all fruits and vegetables to 0% ad valorem. If you trade horticulture in Haryana, charging a market fee that has been withdrawn creates a refund liability, not just an unhappy buyer. This is the single most common billing error we see in Haryana sabzi mandis.

The commission is per-quintal, not a percentage

For MSP procurement of wheat and paddy, the commission payable to arhtiyas in Haryana and Punjab was revised from Rabi 2026-27 to ₹50.75 per quintal for wheat (from ₹46.00) and ₹50.61 per quintal for paddy (from ₹45.88).

Because it is a flat rate, the effective percentage falls as MSP rises. An arhtiya modelling income as "2.5% of turnover" will overstate it in any year where MSP grows faster than the per-quintal commission. On private trade outside procurement, the percentage convention still applies and is negotiated.

Haryana vs its neighbours

State	Market fee	Development cess	Horticulture
Haryana	2%; 1% on 21 items	HRDF, separate	0%
Punjab	Revised more than once; legacy stack ~3%	RDF, separate	Reduced for basmati and cotton in 2020
Maharashtra	~0.8–1%, set per APMC	~1% combined	De-notified from APMC monopoly
Bihar	None — APMC Act repealed 2006	None	Open market

What this means for billing

Haryana needs four things a spreadsheet handles badly:

Commodity-dependent rates. 2%, 1% or 0% depending on which schedule the commodity sits on — decided per line, not per bill.
Market fee and HRDF as separate heads, because they report separately for Market Committee audit.
Two commission formulas in one book — per-quintal for MSP procurement, percentage for private trade, often in the same season.
Effective-dated rates. Reprinting an old bill must reproduce the rate that applied on the day of sale.

MandiGrow stores market fee, HRDF and commission as separate effective-dated heads per commodity group and supports both per-quintal and percentage commission on the same party. See mandi software for Haryana and J-Form billing software.
