How to Register for PM Kisan (New Farmer Registration 2026)

If you are a new farmer and want to join the scheme, follow these simple steps. You can register online from home or at a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).

Online Registration — Step by Step

1. Visit the official website: pmkisan.gov.in.
2. Go to the “Farmers Corner” section on the homepage.
3. Click on “New Farmer Registration.”
4. Choose Rural or Urban farmer registration as it applies to you.
5. Enter your Aadhaar number, mobile number, and select your state.
6. Verify with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
7. Fill in your personal details, bank account details, and land records.
8. Upload the required documents and submit the form.
9. Your application now goes for state-level verification and approval.

Once your details are verified, you receive a Farmer ID. This unique number confirms you are part of the scheme and is needed to get all future installments.

Note: After registering, always complete your e-KYC. Without e-KYC, the money will not reach your account even if your name is approved.

Registration Through the PM Kisan Mobile App

You can also register from your phone without visiting any office:

1. Download the PM Kisan Mobile App from the Google Play Store (or tap “Download PM-Kisan Mobile App” under “Farmers Corner” on the website).
2. Open the app and select your preferred language.
3. Tap on “New Farmer Registration.”
4. Fill in your name, address, bank account number, IFSC code, and land details.
5. Tap “Submit.” Your form then goes for state-level verification.

The mobile app is handy because you can also use it later to check your status and complete e-KYC by face scan.

PM Kisan e-KYC Process: Why It Is Mandatory

The government has made e-KYC compulsory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) confirms your identity using Aadhaar. If you do not complete e-KYC, your installment can be held back.

How to Complete e-KYC Online (OTP Method)

1. Go to pmkisan.gov.in.
2. Click on the “e-KYC” option under “Farmers Corner.”
3. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the captcha.
4. Enter the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
5. Click Submit. A “Success” message means your e-KYC is done.

Offline / Biometric e-KYC

If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, you can still finish e-KYC. Visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) and complete biometric (fingerprint) e-KYC there. This is helpful for farmers who do not have OTP access.

Face Authentication e-KYC (Mobile App)

You can also do e-KYC from your own phone using face scan — no OTP and no CSC visit needed. This is very useful for elderly farmers whose fingerprints may not scan well. Steps:

1. Install the PM Kisan Mobile App and the Aadhaar Face RD App from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the PM Kisan app and log in with your registered mobile number.
3. Go to the e-KYC section and select Face Authentication.
4. Enter your Aadhaar number and scan your face as guided.
5. Once your face matches Aadhaar records, e-KYC is done.

After e-KYC is completed, your status usually updates within 24 hours.

Who Is Eligible for PM Kisan?

Before you register, check if you meet the rules. You are eligible for PM Kisan if:

• You are an Indian citizen and a landholding farmer.
• Your family owns cultivable land as per State or Union Territory land records.
• You have a valid Aadhaar number (needed for e-KYC and DBT).
• You have an active bank account linked with your Aadhaar.

A “family” under this scheme means the husband, wife, and minor children. So one family unit gets one benefit, not each member separately.

Note: Earlier, only farmers with up to 2 hectares of land could apply for PM Kisan. This rule was removed in 2019. Now, farmers with any amount of land can apply, as long as they are eligible under the scheme.

Who Is NOT Eligible for PM Kisan?

Some people cannot get PM Kisan money, even if they own land. These include:

• People who pay income tax.
• Government employees and pensioners with a high monthly pension.
• Professionals like doctors, engineers, lawyers, and chartered accountants who practice.
• People who hold or hold constitutional posts (such as MPs, MLAs, ministers, and mayors).
• Institutional landholders (land held by an organisation, not a person).

These rules make sure the benefit reaches farmers who truly need the support.

Documents Required for PM Kisan Registration

Keep these documents ready before you apply. Having them in order helps avoid rejection or delay:

• Aadhaar Card – Required for identity verification and e-KYC.
• Land Records – Such as khasra, khatauni, or other proof of cultivable land ownership.
• Aadhaar-Linked Bank Account Passbook – Needed to receive PM Kisan payments through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
• Active Mobile Number – Linked to Aadhaar for OTP verification and updates.
• Passport-Size Photograph – A recent photo with a plain background.
• Citizenship/Self-Declaration – To be provided as part of the application form.

Make sure the name on your Aadhaar, bank account, and land records match. A mismatch is one of the most common reasons farmers do not get their money.

How to Update PM Kisan Bank Account or Aadhaar Details?

If your bank details are wrong or your account has changed, you must update them to keep getting payments. Here is how:

1. Log in to pmkisan.gov.in using your registration or Aadhaar number.
2. Look for the “Updation of Self Registered Farmer” option under “Farmers Corner.”
3. Edit your bank account number, IFSC code, or other details as needed.
4. Save the changes and wait for verification.

For Aadhaar–bank linking, you may need to visit your bank branch in person. Ask the staff to seed your Aadhaar with your account through the NPCI mapper. This step is very important, because DBT works only when your Aadhaar is correctly linked to one active account.

Ways to Avoid Delays in PM Kisan Payments 

Many farmers miss their payment over small, avoidable mistakes. Use these tips to stay on the safe side:

• Do e-KYC early. Don’t wait for the installment date. Finish e-KYC well before each cycle.
• Use one active bank account. If your Aadhaar is linked to more than one account, the money may go to the wrong one.
• Match your name everywhere. Your name on Aadhaar, bank, and land records should be the same spelling.
• Keep your mobile number active. OTP-based checks and SMS alerts come to this number.
• Check your status after each release. Don’t only wait for an SMS — confirm online yourself.
• Avoid fake websites. Only use pmkisan.gov.in. Never share your Aadhaar OTP with strangers or pay anyone for “fast approval.”

Following these simple habits keeps your profile clean and your payments on time, installment after installment.

Key Benefits of the PM Kisan Scheme

The PM Kisan scheme does more than just hand out money. It brings several real benefits to farming families:

• Helps with crop planning: The annual support of ₹6,000 gives farmers extra financial stability for seeds, fertilizers, and other farming needs.
• 100% direct benefit: Payments go straight to the beneficiary’s bank account, making the process fast, transparent, and secure.
• Lower financial pressure: Farmers can meet some of their seasonal expenses without depending entirely on loans.
• Transparent and accessible: Payment records are available online, allowing farmers to track their benefits without visiting government offices.
• Large-scale farmer support: PM Kisan benefits eligible farmers across the country, regardless of the size of their landholding.

PM Kisan and the Kisan Credit Card (KCC)

If you are a PM Kisan beneficiary, you also get easy access to another helpful scheme — the Kisan Credit Card (KCC). The KCC gives farmers quick, short-term credit for farming needs like seeds, fertilizers, and equipment, at a low interest rate.

Because your details are already verified under PM Kisan, applying for a KCC becomes simpler. You can ask for the KCC form at your bank or through the PM Kisan portal. This card helps farmers meet sudden expenses without taking costly loans from private lenders. Together, PM Kisan and KCC give farmers both direct income support and affordable credit.
