 +Rs 2,000 every 4 months (April-July, August-November, December-March) directly to Aadhaar-linked bank account. Lifetime till family is eligible.
 +
 +===== How to apply (step-by-step) =====
 +  - **Visit pmkisan.gov.in** — Click "New Farmer Registration" — Rural or Urban farmer.
 +  - **Aadhaar OTP verification** — Enter Aadhaar + state. Most fields auto-fill from Aadhaar e-KYC.
 +  - **Fill family + land details** — Survey/khasra number, area in hectares.
 +  - **Upload land record** — Latest Khasra/Khatauni/7-12 extract.
 +  - **Bank account linkage** — Aadhaar-linked bank account; NPCI mapper must be active.
 +  - **Field verification** — Patwari verifies land ownership + family eligibility.
 +  - **%%eKYC%% annually** — Mandatory annual %%eKYC%% at pmkisan.gov.in or CSC; without it, instalments freeze.
 +

 +  * Land record name mismatch with Aadhaar — update one to match.
 +  * Bank Aadhaar de-linked — DBT bounces. Visit bank for NPCI re-mapping.
 +  * Excluded category claimed wrongly (IT taxpayer / govt employee) — refund required + cancellation.
 +
