PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi is one of the most important central government schemes for farmers across India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 per year directly into their bank accounts in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each. For farmers in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, this scheme works alongside state-level schemes like Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bharosa to provide significant financial support.

This guide covers everything a farmer in AP or Telangana needs to know about PM-KISAN in 2026 — from checking eligibility to tracking payment status.

## What is PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi?

PM-KISAN (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi) is a central government scheme launched in February 2019. The scheme provides income support of Rs 6,000 per year to all landholding farmer families across India, regardless of the size of their landholding.

Key facts about PM-KISAN:

– Annual benefit: Rs 6,000 per farmer family
– Payment frequency: Three installments of Rs 2,000 each
– Payment method: Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) to Aadhaar-linked bank account
– Funding: 100% funded by the Central Government
– Beneficiaries: Over 11 crore farmers across India

The installment schedule typically follows this pattern:
– First installment (April to July): Usually credited between April and June
– Second installment (August to November): Usually credited between August and October
– Third installment (December to March): Usually credited between December and February

## Who is Eligible for PM-KISAN in Telangana and AP?

Eligibility criteria are the same across India, but the registration and verification process involves state government machinery.

**Eligible farmers:**
– All landholding farmer families with cultivable land
– Small and marginal farmers (less than 2 hectares)
– Medium and large farmers (2 hectares and above) — yes, there is no upper land limit
– Both individual and joint landholders

**Who is NOT eligible:**
– Institutional landholders (trusts, companies, cooperative societies)
– Former and present holders of constitutional posts (MPs, MLAs, Ministers)
– Former and present government employees drawing pension above Rs 10,000/month
– Professionals registered as Income Tax payers (doctors, engineers, lawyers, CAs)
– Families where any member paid income tax in the last assessment year

Important note: “Farmer family” is defined as husband, wife, and minor children. If both husband and wife own land separately, only one of them can register.

## How to Register for PM-KISAN — Step by Step

### Method 1: Online Self-Registration

Step 1: Visit the official PM-KISAN portal at pmkisan.gov.in

Step 2: Click on “New Farmer Registration” on the homepage

Step 3: Select your state (Telangana or Andhra Pradesh) and enter your Aadhaar number

Step 4: Complete the OTP verification sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number

Step 5: Fill in the registration form with these details:
– Full name (as per Aadhaar)
– Category (SC/ST/OBC/General)
– Bank account number and IFSC code
– Land details — survey number, khata number, area in hectares
– Mobile number

Step 6: Upload required documents:
– Aadhaar card copy
– Bank passbook first page
– Land ownership document (Pattadar passbook for AP, Dharani record for Telangana)

Step 7: Submit the application and note down the registration number

### Method 2: Through Common Service Center (CSC) or MeeSeva

If you are not comfortable with online registration, visit your nearest CSC center or MeeSeva center. Carry these documents:
– Aadhaar card (original + photocopy)
– Bank passbook (original + photocopy)
– Land document (Pattadar passbook or Dharani printout)
– Mobile phone for OTP verification

The operator will complete the registration for you. A small service fee (Rs 25-50) may apply.

### Method 3: Through Agriculture Department Office

Visit your mandal-level agriculture office. The Agriculture Extension Officer (AEO) or Village Agriculture Assistant can help you register. This is especially useful for farmers who face technical difficulties.

## How to Check PM-KISAN Payment Status

### Method 1: Online Status Check

Step 1: Go to pmkisan.gov.in

Step 2: Click on “Beneficiary Status” under the Farmer Corner section

Step 3: Enter your Aadhaar number or mobile number or bank account number

Step 4: Click “Get Data”

The system will show:
– Your registration status (approved/pending/rejected)
– All installments received with dates and amounts
– Any pending installments and reasons for delay

### Method 2: Check via Mobile App

Download the “PM-KISAN Mobile App” from Google Play Store. Log in with your registered mobile number and check your payment history directly.

### Method 3: Helpline

Call the PM-KISAN helpline at 155261 or 011-24300606 for status inquiries.

## Common Reasons Why PM-KISAN Payment Gets Stuck

Many farmers in AP and Telangana face payment delays. Here are the most common reasons and their solutions:

**1. Aadhaar not linked to bank account**
– Solution: Visit your bank branch and complete Aadhaar-bank linking. This is mandatory for DBT.

**2. Name mismatch between Aadhaar and bank account**
– Solution: Ensure your name is exactly the same in Aadhaar, bank account, and PM-KISAN registration. Even small spelling differences cause rejection.

**3. Land verification pending at state level**
– Solution: Contact your mandal agriculture officer. In Telangana, ensure your land is properly recorded in Dharani. In AP, ensure your Pattadar passbook is updated.

**4. Bank account is inactive or closed**
– Solution: Visit your bank and reactivate the account, or update your bank details on the PM-KISAN portal.

**5. Duplicate registration**
– Solution: If multiple family members registered, only one will receive payment. Contact the agriculture office to resolve duplicates.

**6. eKYC not completed**
– Solution: Complete eKYC through the PM-KISAN portal using Aadhaar OTP or biometric verification at CSC centers.

## PM-KISAN and State Schemes — How They Work Together

### For Telangana Farmers:
Telangana farmers can receive both PM-KISAN (Rs 6,000/year from Centre) and Rythu Bandhu (Rs 10,000/acre/year from State). These are separate schemes and do not overlap. A farmer with 2 acres can potentially receive:
– PM-KISAN: Rs 6,000/year
– Rythu Bandhu: Rs 20,000/year (Rs 10,000 x 2 acres)
– Total: Rs 26,000/year

### For Andhra Pradesh Farmers:
AP farmers can receive PM-KISAN along with Annadatha Sukhibhava (Rythu Bharosa). The AP government provides Rs 20,000/year per farmer family, which includes the PM-KISAN component. So the breakdown is:
– Central share (PM-KISAN): Rs 6,000/year
– State share (Annadatha Sukhibhava): Rs 14,000/year
– Total: Rs 20,000/year

Note: AP integrates PM-KISAN into its own scheme, so you receive the combined amount through the state mechanism.

## How to Update Your PM-KISAN Details

If you need to change your bank account, mobile number, or correct your name:

Step 1: Visit pmkisan.gov.in

Step 2: Click on “Updation of Self Registered Farmer” under Farmer Corner

Step 3: Enter your Aadhaar number and verify with OTP

Step 4: Edit the required fields (bank account, mobile number, etc.)

Step 5: Submit the changes

Changes typically take 15-30 days to reflect in the system. Do not make changes close to installment dates as it may delay your payment.

## Important Deadlines and Dates for 2026

While PM-KISAN does not have a fixed registration deadline (you can register anytime), there are practical timelines to keep in mind:

– eKYC completion: Must be done annually. Check the portal for current deadline.
– Land verification: Done by state agriculture department before each installment.
– Installment credits: April-June, August-October, December-February (approximate windows)

Tip: Register and complete eKYC well before the next installment window to avoid missing payments.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Can tenant farmers register for PM-KISAN?**
A: No. Only landholding farmers whose names appear in land records are eligible. Tenant farmers and agricultural laborers are not covered under this scheme.

**Q: I have land in both Telangana and AP. Can I register twice?**
A: No. PM-KISAN is per family, not per land parcel. You can register only once regardless of how many states you own land in.

**Q: My father passed away. How do I transfer PM-KISAN to my name?**
A: First, get the land records transferred to your name through the revenue department (Dharani in Telangana, MeeBhoomi in AP). Then register fresh on PM-KISAN with your details.

**Q: I registered but never received any money. What should I do?**
A: Check your beneficiary status online first. If it shows “pending at state level,” contact your mandal agriculture officer. If it shows “FTO generated but payment failed,” check your bank account linking.

**Q: Is PM-KISAN taxable?**
A: The PM-KISAN amount itself is not taxable. However, if your total income (including PM-KISAN) exceeds the income tax threshold, you become ineligible for future installments.
