Haryana Farmers Get Big Relief: Farmer Registry and PM-KISAN e-KYC Now Free at CSC Centres

Key Highlights:

• Free PM-KISAN e-KYC at CSC centres.

• Haryana government to pay ₹15 service fee.

• Farmer Registry process made easier.

• Village-level digital services for farmers.

• Aadhaar and land documents required.

The Haryana government has announced a major relief for farmers by making the Farmer Registry and PM-KISAN e-KYC process completely free at Common Service Centres (CSCs). The move aims to provide farmers with easier and more transparent access to government schemes and digital services at the village level.

Under the new system, farmers will no longer need to visit government offices repeatedly. Instead, they can complete all required formalities at nearby CSC centres in their villages.

Haryana Government Speeds Up Digital Farmer Services

Dr. Sumita Mishra, Finance Commissioner of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, said that farmer registration and PM-KISAN e-KYC under the Central Government’s AgriStack initiative will now be carried out through CSC centres across Haryana.

The government’s main objective is to build a strong digital database of farmers. This database will help ensure that government schemes, subsidies, and agricultural services reach eligible farmers directly and without delays.

Farmer Registration Process Becomes Faster and Easier

According to the state government, the new system will make farmer registration much quicker and more convenient than before.

Farmers will now be able to complete:

• Farmer registration

• Digital verification

• PM-KISAN e-KYC

at the CSC centre nearest to their village.

This step is expected to save time for farmers and improve transparency in government services.

No Charges for Farmers

One of the biggest benefits of this initiative is that farmers will not have to pay any fee for the service.

The Haryana government has clarified that it will bear the service charge of ₹15 per farmer for PM-KISAN e-KYC. CSC operators have also been directed not to collect any money from farmers.

This decision is likely to provide major relief to small and marginal farmers across the state.

Model Already Successful in Several States

The Haryana government said that similar farmer registry models have already shown successful results in many states across India.

More than 28 million farmers have already been registered in states such as:

• Uttar Pradesh

• Maharashtra

• Madhya Pradesh

• Gujarat

• Rajasthan

• Tamil Nadu

• Assam

• Odisha

Haryana is now adopting the same model to strengthen its digital agriculture system and farmer database.

Farmers to Get Scheme Benefits Faster

The government believes that the farmer registry will help eligible farmers receive benefits from various schemes directly and quickly in the future.

The digital database will also help authorities:

• Identify genuine beneficiaries

• Reduce fraud and irregularities

• Improve implementation of agricultural policies

• Deliver subsidies and services efficiently

Officials say the digital records will play an important role in strengthening agricultural governance in Haryana.

Documents Required for Farmer Registry and PM-KISAN e-KYC

Farmers visiting CSC centres for registration and e-KYC must carry the following documents:

• Aadhaar Card

• Mobile number linked with Aadhaar

• Bank Passbook

• Family Identity Card (if applicable)

• Land documents or copy of Khasra-Khatauni

• PM-KISAN registration number (for already registered farmers)

The government has advised farmers to keep all documents updated to avoid delays during the process. Farmers whose mobile numbers are not linked with Aadhaar have been asked to complete that process first.

Strong Step Towards Digital Agriculture in Haryana

Experts believe this initiative is an important step toward strengthening digital agriculture governance in Haryana. It is expected to improve access to government services at the village level and make scheme benefits more transparent and efficient.

In the future, the Farmer Registry system may also integrate several other agricultural schemes on a single digital platform, which could provide even greater benefits to farmers across the state.
