3. Farmer Registry (AgriStack e-KYC)

The Farmer Registry (AgriStack) is one of India's most critical digital agriculture initiatives. Sahaj Mitrs (VLEs) play a vital role in assisting rural farmers with online e-KYC and Farmer ID creation.

What is Farmer Registry?

Farmer Registry creates a unique digital Farmer ID linked to the national AgriStack database. It maps a farmer's verified personal identity (via Aadhaar) directly to their official digital land records (Khatauni / Khasra numbers).

Why is it Mandatory?

Having a verified Farmer Registry ID is mandatory for:

  • PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi: Uninterrupted ₹6,000 annual financial assistance installments. Many farmers whose payments are paused must complete this registry e-KYC to resume installments.
  • Crop Insurance (PMFBY): Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana claims and premium benefits.
  • Fertilizer Subsidies & MSP Procurement: Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and fair price agricultural sales.

Step-by-Step Registration Flow

  1. Access the state-specific agriculture portal (such as UP Farmer Registry, Rajasthan Farmer Registry) or the central Farmer Registry portal/app.
  2. Authenticate the farmer's identity using Aadhaar e-KYC via OTP or a biometric fingerprint device.
  3. Fetch or manually link the farmer's land records (Khatauni / Khasra numbers and plot details).
  4. Submit for online verification through the local Patwari / Revenue Officer system.

Important Note for VLEs & Farmers: Ensure that the farmer's name on Aadhaar matches exactly with the land revenue record (Khatauni) to avoid e-KYC rejection or delayed PM-Kisan installment releases.
