(a): The PM-KISAN scheme is a central sector scheme launched in February 2019 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister to supplement the financial needs of farmers with cultivable land- holding. Under the scheme, a financial benefit of ₹ 6,000/- per year is transferred in three equal instalments, into the Aadhaar seeded bank accounts of farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. Under the PM-KISAN Scheme, cultivable landholding is primary eligibility criteria to receive benefit of the Scheme subject to certain exclusions relating to higher economic status.

A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the farmers across the country without involvement of any intermediaries. Maintaining absolute transparency in registering and verifying beneficiaries, the Government of India has disbursed over ₹ 4.09 lakh Cr. through 21 installments since inception of the Scheme.

The Farmer ID has been made mandatory for only new registrations under PM-KISAN in 14 States where farmer registry work has been commenced. In states where the farmer registry work has not yet started, farmers can register without Farmer ID.

(b): The farmer registration process has started in 14 states; the state-wise data of farmers in these states who have not yet registered for Farmer’s ID is given at Annexure.

(c): To ensure that no eligible farmer left out from Farmer ID, the Government has enabled multiple farmer registration modes, including self-registration through mobile and web applications. Farmers can also generate their farmer IDs by availing the services of Farmers Producer Organisations (FPOs), Krishi Sakhis, Common Service Centres (CSCs) and state government institutions. Additionally, a grievance mechanism is in place through which farmers can register their issues related to land or name mismatch which enables them to register for Farmer ID. Systems to create Farmer IDs of successor farmers in case of out dated land records and for those farmers that have community based land ownership are in place.Annexure State-wise details of Farmer ID generated against the target as on 04.12.2025 Farmers Whose Target for Farmers With # State Farmer ID is Not Farmers ID Farmer ID Generated 1 Andhra Pradesh 60,02,607 45,33,797 14,68,810 2 Assam 24,87,399 10,15,920 14,71,479 3 Bihar 86,36,562 5,61,543 80,75,019 4 Chhattisgarh 40,08,908 32,00,076 8,08,832 5 Gujarat 66,21,097 58,07,051 8,14,046 6 Karnataka 59,13,902 45,14,772 13,99,130 7 Kerala 38,01,577 22,52,952 15,48,625 8 Madhya Pradesh 95,18,752 94,37,854 80,898 9 Maharashtra 1,19,11,984 1,27,36,891 – 10 Odisha 44,38,559 12,24,568 32,13,991 11 Rajasthan 90,19,695 80,06,447 10,13,248 12 Tamil Nadu 46,76,080 32,75,992 14,00,088 13 Telangana 39,77,791 32,07,193 7,70,598 14 Uttar Pradesh 2,88,70,495 1,69,89,132 1,18,81,363 Total 10,98,85,408 7,67,64,188 3,39,46,127 ****
