PM Kisan Farmer ID is now a required part of registering under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) in 14 selected states. This change aims to bring more clarity and better service, making sure farmers who deserve the support get it on time. If you want to take part in this scheme, knowing why the Farmer ID matters and how to get it will help you register without any trouble and continue to receive the 6,000 annual support.
Farmer ID Now Needed for PM-KISAN Registration in 14 States
The Government of India has made it clear that all new registrations under the PM-KISAN scheme in 14 states must include a Farmer ID. This was announced by Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shri Ramnath Thakur in the Lok Sabha. The goal is to build a strong farmer database, prevent duplicate entries, and give benefits smoothly.
Why You Need a Farmer ID for PM-KISAN
Having a Farmer ID linked to your PM-KISAN application helps confirm and verify who the real beneficiaries are. It makes sure only farmers who have cultivable land receive the payments. This clarity helps stop frauds and mistakes by keeping good records, making audits simpler, and allowing easy tracking of payments directly into Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
Ways to Get Your Farmer ID for PM-KISAN
If you plan to register for PM-KISAN and dont have a Farmer ID yet, here are your options:
- Self-registration: You can sign up yourself using the official PM-KISAN website or state-level farmer portals where those exist.
- Common Service Centres (CSC): CSCs located in villages and towns can help you register and get your Farmer ID easily.
- Operator Mode: Agriculture or Revenue officials in your state work in the field and can directly enroll farmers.
- Sahayak Mode: Local helpers authorized by the government assist in putting together the farmer database.
If you have any problems during the registration process, state governments have set up coordination with district-level offices to fix issues quickly using technical tools for authorized officials.
No Increase in PM-KISAN Annual Support: What It Means for You
Even though farmer groups have asked for more, the government has no plans right now to raise the yearly aid under PM-KISAN, which remains at 6,000.
About PM-KISAN Financial Aid and How It Is Paid
Since starting in February 2019 by the Honble Prime Minister, the PM-KISAN scheme gives eligible farmers 6,000 each year. This money is paid in three equal parts directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts using Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). So far, over 3.90 lakh crore has been paid out in 20 installments, showing how wide the schemes reach is.
Current Registration and Support Options Under PM-KISAN
To make registration and payment easy, the government has built strong digital systems and offers several ways to register as mentioned above. Many farmers have already signed up through CSCs and with help from state officials working in the field. This setup helps cut out middlemen and makes sure the money goes straight to farmers.
If you are a farmer wanting to benefit from PM-KISAN, make sure your Farmer ID registration is done and regularly check your bank account to get installments on time. Always use official sites like the PM-KISAN portal (pmkisan.gov.in) for correct information and updates.
