Online and offline registration procedure
Farmers can register online through the PM-Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) or state-specific platforms such as DBT Agriculture Bihar, Meebhoomi AP, or UP Agriculture. Alternatively, registration can be completed offline at local Common Service Centres (CSCs), Krishi Vigyan Kendras, or Block Agriculture Offices.
Checking registration status and e-KYC
After submitting details, farmers receive a unique registration number to track verification. Periodic mandatory requirements like biometric or face-authentication e-KYC and land-seeding verification must be completed to prevent disruption of scheme payments.
