Several documents have to be presented to prove your identity. The Ministry of Textiles is conducting the procurement of seed cotton by the Cotton Corporation of India Limited with the objective of providing MSP if it falls below the MSP.

These documents include a bank or post office passbook with photograph, Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, passport, voter ID card, driving license, or certificate of identity issued by a Gazetted Officer or Tehsildar on an official letterhead.
