To fill the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi registration form, visit pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner → New Farmer Registration. You will need your Aadhaar card (mobile-linked), land records (Khata and Khasra numbers), a DBT-enabled bank account, and your Ration Card number. The entire process takes approximately 10 minutes and is completely free.
Documents Required Before You Start
Keep the following documents ready before opening the PM Kisan portal to avoid interruptions during the form-filling process:
- Aadhaar Card — your mobile number must be linked to Aadhaar (for OTP verification)
- Land Records — Khata Number (Account No.), Khasra Number (Survey No.), and land area in hectares — required for land seeding
- Bank Passbook — the account must be NPCI/DBT-enabled so that money can be transferred directly
- Ration Card Number — now mandatory in the updated registration form
Pro Tip: Verify your land details with your local Patwari or Lekhpal before filling the form to avoid rejection later.
How to Fill PM Kisan Yojana Registration Form 2026 — Step by Step
Step 1: Visit the Official PM Kisan Portal
Open pmkisan.gov.in in your browser. On the homepage, go to Farmers Corner → New Farmer Registration and click on it.
Step 2: Aadhaar eKYC Verification
- Select Rural Farmer or Urban Farmer based on your location
- Enter your Aadhaar Number, mobile number, State, and Captcha
- Click "Get OTP" and verify the 4-digit OTP received on your registered mobile number
- A second 6-digit OTP will be sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile — verify this as well
- eKYC is now complete
Step 3: Fill the Registration Form
After eKYC, your name and address will be auto-filled from Aadhaar. You need to manually fill in:
- District, Sub-District, Block, and Village
- Category — General, SC, or ST
- Farmer Type — Small (1–2 hectares) or Other
Step 4: Add Land Details (Land Seeding)
This is the most critical step. Enter:
- Khata Number (Account No. from land records)
- Khasra Number (Survey No.)
- Area in Hectares
Click Add, then upload your Khatauni PDF (file size 50KB–200KB, clear scan required).
Step 5: Save and Note Your Farmer ID
Review all details carefully, then click Save. The portal will display your Farmer ID / Reference Number — take a screenshot or write it down as you will need it for status tracking.
How to Check PM Kisan Registration Status
After 24–48 hours of form submission, check your application status:
- Visit pmkisan.gov.in
- ➡️ Go to: ‘Farmers Corner’ > ‘Status of Self-Registered Farmer’
- Enter your Aadhaar Number and Captcha
- Your current status will show: Pending / Approved / Rejected
Approval typically takes 1–3 months as it requires verification at Block and District levels. Do not be concerned if it shows "Pending" initially.
Common Rejection Reasons and How to Fix Them
| Error | Reason | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Record Not Found | Aadhaar details mismatch / eKYC fail | Ensure spelling matches Aadhaar exactly; try again |
| Pending at Sub-District | Officer approval pending | Visit the Lekhpal or Patwari office with a physical copy |
| Rejected by Bank/PFMS | Bank account not linked with NPCI/DBT | Visit your bank branch and fill the DBT/NPCI linking form immediately |
Note: Both Jan Dhan and regular savings accounts are accepted, provided the account is Aadhaar-seeded and NPCI-linked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the last date to apply for PM Kisan Yojana?
There is no fixed last date for PM Kisan registration — the portal remains open throughout the year. You can register at any time at pmkisan.gov.in.
Can both husband and wife apply for PM Kisan separately?
No. Only one member per family is eligible — either the husband or the wife, not both. Dual registration from the same family will be rejected during verification.
How long does it take to receive payment after PM Kisan registration?
After form submission, Block and District approval takes approximately 1–3 months. Once approved, payment will be credited in the next installment release cycle. PM Kisan releases ₹2,000 installments three times a year.
Are sharecropper farmers eligible for PM Kisan?
Yes, sharecroppers are eligible if the land is seeded in their name and the land records match. Verify with your local Patwari or Lekhpal to ensure the records are correctly documented.
What if my mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar?
You cannot complete eKYC without an Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Visit the nearest CSC centre, bank branch, or UIDAI portal to link your mobile to Aadhaar before proceeding with PM Kisan registration.
