📝How to Apply

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for farmer schemes?

Most farmer schemes are open to small and marginal farmers owning cultivable land up to 2 hectares. Specific schemes may have additional criteria. Aadhaar linkage with bank account is mandatory for DBT schemes.

How is the money transferred in DBT schemes?

Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) sends money directly to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-linked bank account, eliminating middlemen and ensuring timely delivery of financial assistance.

What documents are needed for farmer scheme registration?

Generally: Aadhaar card, land ownership documents (Khatauni/Khasra), bank passbook, mobile number linked to Aadhaar, and passport-size photograph.

Can tenant farmers apply for PM-Kisan?

No, PM-Kisan is only for landholder farmer families. Tenant farmers or sharecroppers do not qualify for PM-Kisan but may be eligible for other schemes like Fasal Bima.
