1Your situation
We show only what your answers need.
- Which of these are you?
- Since when has cultivable land been in your name, or your spouse's, in the land records?
- Is anyone in your family (you, your spouse, minor children) in any of these, now or in the past? A constitutional post; minister, MP, MLA, MLC, city mayor or district panchayat chairperson. An employee, serving or retired, of the central or state government, a public sector undertaking or an autonomous body, or a regular employee of a local body (other than multi-tasking staff, Class IV or Group D). A pension of ₹10,000 a month or more (other than those staff). Paid income tax in the last assessment year. A doctor, engineer, lawyer, chartered accountant or architect registered with a professional body and practising. Not yet registered for PM-KISAN, and a non-resident Indian (NRI) under the Income Tax Act now. Or the land is held by an institution.
- Does your wife or husband already get PM-KISAN?
- Are you already registered for PM-KISAN?
Your answers stay on this phone.
Each step below says who it is for. Confirm yours at the office, then change your answer here.
This route does not apply to your situation
Farmer families who are non-resident Indians (NRIs) under the Income Tax Act are not added to PM-KISAN as new beneficiaries (guidelines, para 4.1(c)). The guidelines do not say what happens to a family that was already getting PM-KISAN before becoming NRI; ask before you rely on it.
→ There is no way for NRI farmer families to join PM-KISAN as new beneficiaries. For questions, ask at your village Rythu Seva Kendra (RSK). We did not see an Andhra Pradesh document naming the officer who handles PM-KISAN; to find your district's nodal officer, open 'Contact Us' on the PM-KISAN website, then 'Searchable Contact Details', and choose 'Search district Nodal'.

We could not confirm whether this applies to you
The PM-KISAN guidelines say nothing about OCI cardholders; they only say that farmer families who are NRIs under the Income Tax Act are not added as new beneficiaries (para 4.1(c)). Under the Home Ministry's notification, OCI cardholders are foreign nationals, not Indian citizens, and in economic matters that the notification does not list, they have a foreigner's rights. Before applying, ask at your village Rythu Seva Kendra (RSK). We did not see an Andhra Pradesh document naming the officer who handles PM-KISAN; to find your district's nodal officer, open 'Contact Us' on the PM-KISAN website, then 'Searchable Contact Details', and choose 'Search district Nodal'.

PM-KISAN is only for farmer families with cultivable land in their names in the land records. Tenant farmers and people farming land in their parents' names do not qualify; once the land passes to you by inheritance, you do. For this scheme a family is husband, wife and minor children.
→ When land passes to you by inheritance, first have it recorded in your name in the land records. For that, see this guide:
→ Land mutation: your name in the land records after a sale or inheritance

This route does not apply to your situation
The cut-off date for eligibility is 01-02-2019. People who got land after that by purchase, partition or gift do not qualify; only land inherited on the owner's death is an exception. If the family that gave the land has no cultivable land left, its benefit stops too. Such cases are being held until a physical check is done.
→ Ask about the physical check of your case at your village Rythu Seva Kendra (RSK). We did not see an Andhra Pradesh document naming the officer who handles PM-KISAN; to find your district's nodal officer, open 'Contact Us' on the PM-KISAN website, then 'Searchable Contact Details', and choose 'Search district Nodal'.

Families with anyone in these categories cannot get PM-KISAN. If money has already been paid, it is recovered. The portal's 'Farmers Corner' has 'Voluntary Surrender of PM Kisan Benefits' and 'Online Refund'.
→ For questions about your family's case, ask at your village Rythu Seva Kendra (RSK); you can also write on the 'Helpdesk' form on the PM-KISAN website.

PM-KISAN is one benefit per family (husband, wife and minor children). If the land is in more than one family member's name, the money goes to the one with the most land. Cases where two members of a family are paid are being held until a physical check is done.
→ Ask at your village Rythu Seva Kendra (RSK) which member of your family is registered, and about the physical check. We did not see an Andhra Pradesh document naming the officer who handles PM-KISAN; to find your district's nodal officer, open 'Contact Us' on the PM-KISAN website, then 'Searchable Contact Details', and choose 'Search district Nodal'.

· Do them in order. Tick each one when it is done.
- Do this nowIf: No, I need to register
The family member whose name is in the land records registers; if the land is in your wife's or husband's name, register in their name, with their Aadhaar and bank account.
On the PM-KISAN website, open 'New Farmer Registration' under 'Farmers Corner'. Give the Aadhaar number of the person registering and the mobile number, and choose the state 'ANDHRA PRADESH'. Once Aadhaar is verified, fill in the form and submit it with the self-declaration. If you cannot do it yourself, a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC) can.

The portal does not say what a CSC charges for registration.

- Do this nowIf: No, I need to register
If the form says your Farmer ID has not been generated, you first need a Farmer ID.
For that, ask the village agriculture assistant at your village's Rythu Seva Kendra.
Not confirmed
The portal only shows that message when there is no Farmer ID. We did not find an official page on where and how Andhra Pradesh issues Farmer IDs; a district website says the Rythu Seva Kendras deliver services to farmers in the villages. Ask there.

- Do this nowIf: No, I need to register
Your application goes to the State Nodal Officer; wait while the details are checked and approved.

e-KYC is mandatory.
Three ways: with an OTP sent to the mobile linked to your Aadhaar, on the PM-KISAN website or app; from home, by scanning your face with the PM-KISAN app and the 'Aadhaar Face RD' app; or by fingerprint at a CSC. Whichever way, it shows in your status after 24 hours. Type the OTP in yourself; never tell it to anyone.
Open the official pageNot confirmed
The e-KYC note is dated only '13th Nov', with no year; it says there is an 'e-KYC' link at the top right of the website, but on 30-10-2026 we did not see it on the home page. If you cannot find it, use the app or a CSC. PIB says the post office links your mobile to Aadhaar through India Post Payments Bank if it is not linked. PIB also says village-level nodal officers help; we did not see a state document naming them in Andhra Pradesh.

Ask your bank whether the account is seeded (linked) with your Aadhaar; if not, get it done.
