 +<WRAP info>
 +**Quick answer:** PM-KISAN gives **Rs 6,000/year** (3 instalments of Rs 2,000) to **landholding farmer families** with cultivable land. Self-registration via **pmkisan.gov.in** since 2019. Aadhaar mandatory. Beneficiary verification via state revenue department land records (Bhulekh / Patwari record). **No income limit — but ineligible categories include institutional landholders, IT taxpayers, professionals, and govt employees**.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Who can apply (eligibility) =====
 +  * Indian citizen with cultivable land (any size)
 +  * Family = husband + wife + minor children (one share per family)
 +  * NOT eligible: Institutional landholders, constitutional post holders, MPs/MLAs/Mayors, govt servants (Group A/B), professional bodies, IT taxpayers, retired pensioners > Rs 10K/month
 +
 +===== Step-by-step process =====
 +  - **Visit pmkisan.gov.in** — Click "New Farmer Registration" — Rural or Urban farmer.
 +  - **Enter Aadhaar + state** — Aadhaar OTP verification. State + district selection.
 +  - **Fill family + land details** — Name (per Aadhaar), %%DoB%%, gender, address, land area in hectares, survey/khasra number.
 +  - **Upload land record** — Latest Khasra/Khatauni/7-12 extract showing your name as cultivator. Self-attested copy.
 +  - **Bank account linkage** — Aadhaar-linked bank account where instalment is credited. NPCI mapper must show active mapping.
 +  - **Submit + receive farmer ID** — PM-KISAN ID auto-generated. Note for tracking.
 +  - **Field verification by Patwari** — Patwari verifies land ownership + family eligibility. Submits to Tehsildar.
 +  - **Approval + first instalment** — After Tehsildar + state nodal officer approval, first Rs 2,000 credited within 60-90 days.
 +  - **%%eKYC%% mandatory** — Aadhaar OTP %%eKYC%% every year — without this, instalments stop. pmkisan.gov.in → %%eKYC%%.
 +
 +===== Where to apply, fee, and timeline =====
 +  * **Online portal:** [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|PM-KISAN portal]]
 +  * **Offline:** Common Service Centres (CSC), State Agriculture Department offices, Block Agriculture Officer. Self-registration is free; CSC may charge Rs 25.

 +
 +===== Common issues + how to handle =====
 +  * **Land record name mismatch** — Aadhaar name must match Bhulekh entry. Update one to match other (recommend Aadhaar update).
 +  * **%%eKYC%% failed (Aadhaar OTP not received)** — biometric %%eKYC%% at CSC. Don't skip %%eKYC%% — instalments stop after 1 year.
 +  * **Instalment not credited** — check status at pmkisan.gov.in. Common: bank Aadhaar de-linked, NPCI mapper inactive.
 +  * **Excluded category** — IT taxpayer / govt employee / pensioner > Rs 10K. Refund + cancellation if claimed wrongly.
 +
