Big update for lakhs of farmers! The Unique Farmer ID (also called Digital Farmer ID or Kisan ID) is gaining momentum in 2026 under the AgriStack initiative. While mandatory for new applicants since January 2025, several states are now enforcing it strictly for all beneficiaries from early 2026 to ensure seamless ₹6000 annual benefits under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi.
Know Complete Details: What’s the New Rule in 2026?
- For New Applicants: Farmer ID mandatory nationwide since Jan 1, 2025.
- State-Level Enforcement: In states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and others, Unique Farmer ID becomes essential for receiving installments from April 2026 (or earlier in some areas). Without it, benefits from PM Kisan, crop insurance, subsidies may stop.
- Goal: Link Aadhaar, land records, and bank details for accurate, fraud-free transfers. Government targets 11 crore Farmer IDs by 2026-27.
Good News: Existing beneficiaries continue receiving ₹2000 installments (3 times a year) if eKYC is done. But registering for Farmer ID makes future claims easier and faster!
