❓Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for farmer schemes?

How is the money transferred in DBT schemes?

Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) sends money directly to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-linked bank account, eliminating middlemen and ensuring timely delivery of financial assistance.

Generally: Aadhaar card, land ownership documents (Khatauni/Khasra), bank passbook, mobile number linked to Aadhaar, and passport-size photograph.

Can tenant farmers apply for PM-Kisan?
