Rythu Bharosa / Rythu Bandhu Payment Status 2026 (Telangana)

Reviewed on: 2026-06-19.

If you searched for “Rythu Bandhu status 2026,” note that the scheme was formally replaced. GO Rt No. 18 (10 January 2025) launched Rythu Bharosa from 26 January 2025. The old rythubandhu.telangana.gov.in portal is no longer active.

The core purpose remains the same: advance working capital to farmers at the start of each crop cycle so they can buy seeds and inputs without borrowing at high interest. What changed is the per-acre support amount and the linkage to Bhu Bharati land records for eligibility.

Under GO Rt No. 18 (Agriculture and Co-operation Department, Vyavasaya-II Branch), the confirmed change is:

• Per-acre annual support increased to Rs 12,000 per year.
• Eligibility is determined from land registered in the Bhu Bharati (Dharani) portal as agricultural land.
• Farmers holding rights under ROFR (Rights of Forest Residents) pattadars are also eligible.
• Non-agricultural land as recorded in Bhu Bharati is excluded.
• Payment is credited via DBT as prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India directly to the farmer's bank account.
• District Collectors are responsible for implementation and complaint resolution in each district.
• National Informatics Centre (NIC), Hyderabad, provides the IT infrastructure.

The season-wise instalment breakdown (whether Rs 12,000 is split into two equal credits of Rs 6,000 each for Kharif and Rabi, as was done under the old Rythu Bandhu, or released differently) was not specified in GO Rt No. 18 and should be confirmed on rythubharosa.telangana.gov.in or at your local Mandal Agriculture Office before each season.

Telangana agriculture runs on two main seasons:

The government aims to credit the support amount before farmers spend on inputs. In practice, credits may arrive in batches across a few days as the department processes district-level pattadar lists. If your neighbour received the credit and you have not, your account details or Aadhaar linkage may need an update rather than the payment being pending for the whole district.

As the GO does not specify exact calendar dates for disbursement, verify the current season's release date at rythubharosa.telangana.gov.in or through the official WhatsApp channel the portal mentions.

There is no public-facing, open beneficiary status search on the Rythu Bharosa portal (the portal has a login section for authorised users). Farmers should use the following steps:

Step 1: Check your bank account. The credit appears in your bank account as a DBT transfer from the Telangana Agriculture Department. Check your passbook or SMS alert for a credit entry around the season start. The description will typically reference “Rythu Bharosa” or carry a government reference code.

Step 2: Check at the bank branch. Visit your bank branch and ask the teller to show DBT credits to your account for the current season. Carry your passbook, Aadhaar card, and pattadar passbook.

Step 3: Visit the Mandal Agriculture Office (MAO). The MAO in your mandal has access to the district pattadar beneficiary list. They can tell you whether your survey number is on the approved list for the current season and whether a payment was initiated. Carry your pattadar passbook, Aadhaar, and a note of your survey number.

Step 4: Check Aadhaar-DBT linkage. If payment has not arrived after your neighbours received theirs, the most common cause is a mismatch between your Aadhaar and your bank account. Check your Aadhaar status and seeding to confirm your Aadhaar is linked to the correct bank account. If the DBT credit has not arrived, your bank account number or IFSC on record may need an update at the MAO or the bank.

GO Rt No. 18 sets the following eligibility conditions:

1. You must be a pattadar (land owner) with agriculture-eligible land registered in the Bhu Bharati (Dharani) portal.
2. ROFR pattadars (tribals with forest land rights) are explicitly included.
3. Land classified as non-agricultural in Bhu Bharati records is excluded.
4. The payment is per acre of eligible agricultural land registered in your name.
5. Your bank account must be linked to your Aadhaar and the Rythu Bharosa beneficiary database for DBT to succeed.

Tenant farmers and agricultural labourers are not covered under this scheme. They may look at PM-KISAN for central government support, though PM-KISAN also covers only land-owning farmers.

• Aadhaar-bank linkage failure: Aadhaar is not seeded to your active account. Visit the bank branch to seed it.
• Wrong account on record: Account number or IFSC was entered incorrectly at enrolment. Correct it at the MAO.
• Land not updated in Bhu Bharati: Inherited or recently purchased land under pending mutation may not yet show you as pattadar. Update Dharani records first.
• Land classified as non-agricultural: Survey numbers recorded as non-agricultural in Dharani are excluded.
• Duplicate pattadar entries: Two claimants on the same survey number cause the system to flag both. Resolve at the MAO.
• Bank account dormant: Accounts with no transaction for a year can go dormant. Activate before the payment cycle.

Yes. Eligible farmers in Telangana can receive both Rythu Bharosa (state, Rs 12,000/acre/year) and PM-KISAN (central, Rs 6,000/year for landowners). The two are independent; receiving one does not bar the other. If your name is absent from PM-KISAN, see PM-KISAN name not in list. Farmers with a Kisan Credit Card can check KCC loan status through their bank.

1. MAO first: Visit your Mandal Agriculture Office with your pattadar passbook, Aadhaar, and survey number. Ask for a beneficiary status printout.
2. District Agriculture Officer (DAO): If the MAO cannot resolve it, escalate to the DAO. Contacts are on the Rythu Bharosa contact page.
3. District Collector: GO Rt No. 18 designates the District Collector as responsible for implementation and grievance resolution.
4. Written complaint: Submit in writing with your Aadhaar number, survey number, bank account number, and the season for which payment is missing. Keep the acknowledgement.

No. The Rythu Bandhu scheme was replaced by Rythu Bharosa under GO Rt No. 18 dated 10 January 2025, effective 26 January 2025. All payments from the 2025 Kharif season onwards are under the Rythu Bharosa name and framework.

GO Rt No. 18 confirms Rs 12,000 per acre per year. This is the officially gazetted figure. Whether this is released as two equal seasonal instalments or in a different pattern should be verified on the official portal or at your MAO, as the GO does not specify the instalment split.

The Rythu Bharosa portal at rythubharosa.telangana.gov.in has a login-based section. Public status search by Aadhaar or pattadar number is not available as an open service on the portal at the time of writing. Check your bank account passbook for the DBT credit, or visit your Mandal Agriculture Office.

The issue may be your land record in Bhu Bharati (Dharani). If your survey number is not mapped to your name as agricultural land, or if mutation is pending, the system will skip your entry. Visit the MAO with your pattadar passbook and survey details to check your land's status on the beneficiary list.

No. Rythu Bharosa covers only pattadars (registered landowners) and ROFR pattadars. Tenant farmers cultivating someone else's land are not covered.

Payment goes to the account linked to your Aadhaar in the Rythu Bharosa system. To change it, visit your MAO with a fresh bank details form from the Forms page.

File an RTI with the Mandal Agriculture Officer or the Director of Agriculture, Telangana. See the RTI section below.

File an RTI to: the Mandal Agriculture Officer / Telangana Agriculture Department

If your payment is missing and the MAO or DAO has not resolved it, file an RTI under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 with the State Public Information Officer at the Agriculture Department, Telangana. Ask for:

• Whether your survey number and Aadhaar number appear on the approved Rythu Bharosa beneficiary list for the current season.
• The date and amount of any payment initiated for your Aadhaar/account in the current or previous seasons.
• The reason your payment was withheld or not processed, if applicable.
• The list of pattadars in your mandal who received payment in the current season.
• The GO or circular under which your survey number was excluded, if it was excluded.
