Mandatory farmer registration and banking requirements
To receive agricultural subsidies via DBT, farmers must complete a one-time registration on their respective state portal. Essential prerequisites include an Aadhaar card linked with an active mobile number, digitized land records (Bhulekh / 7/12 extract), and a bank account that is Aadhaar-seeded and active on the NPCI mapper.
Step-by-step application and payment tracking
- Log into the designated state portal using Aadhaar number or farmer registration ID.
- Select the required agricultural scheme (seeds, micro-irrigation, or farm implements) and submit the online application.
- Following physical field verification by the local Agriculture Coordinator or officer, subsidy funds are credited directly to the beneficiary's bank account.

The Aadhaar-based Payment System (ABPS) routes electronic subsidy payments through the NPCI mapper directly to the farmer's active bank account.

By logging onto their state agriculture DBT portal (such as dbtagriculture.bihar.gov.in or agrimachinery.nic.in) and viewing the 'Check Status' menu.
