Who Can Apply for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi?
The scheme covers farmer families with cultivable land in their names. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, beneficiaries must meet the following requirements:
- Possess valid land ownership records.
- Hold a bank account linked with Aadhaar.
- Not belong to ineligible categories, including institutional landholders, high-income professionals, or taxpayers.
Officials emphasise that Aadhaar authentication and land record verification are critical steps. Farmers whose data does not match across records risk rejection.
Process for Bihar Farmers
Visit the Official Portal
Applicants should go to the PM-Kisan registration page or the Bihar DBT Agriculture portal.
Enter Aadhaar and Personal Details
Farmers must provide their Aadhaar number, state (Bihar), mobile number, and bank account information. Aadhaar-based verification ensures transparency and prevents duplication.
Provide Land Record Information
Applicants should enter details of their cultivable land, including plot and survey numbers. This step links eligibility to actual ownership records.
Submit and Authenticate
After submission, an OTP is sent to the Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Successful authentication generates a Registration ID, which farmers must keep for tracking.
Complete e-KYC
Beneficiaries must complete electronic KYC. Farmers without digital access can visit Common Service Centres (CSCs) in their districts for assistance.
Check Application Status in Bihar
Farmers can monitor their registration status through the DBT Agriculture Bihar status portal. Using Aadhaar, mobile, or registration ID, applicants can confirm whether their application is pending, approved, or rejected.

Why the Scheme Matters
Launched in 2019, the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi stands as one of India’s most crucial efforts to uphold the dignity and secure the livelihoods of its farming community by being one of the largest direct benefit transfer initiatives. With over 110 million farmers nationwide already benefiting.
The scheme’s impact is profoundly felt in states like Bihar, where the dominance of small and marginal landholdings makes farming families acutely vulnerable to economic shocks. By providing this essential financial stability, the program directly addresses rural poverty, empowers small-scale producers, and ensures that the foundation of the nation’s food security is protected.
Agricultural economist Dr. Ramesh Chand, a member of NITI Aayog, has noted that “timely cash transfers through PM-KISAN have played an essential role in helping farmers manage seasonal expenses and investment in inputs.”
Key Reminders for Farmers
- Use only the official portals to apply. The government has repeatedly warned against fraudulent websites and messages circulating on social media.
- Ensure Aadhaar, bank, and land details match to avoid delays.
- Complete e-KYC early, as payments will not be processed without it.
