Six Immediate Actions for Bihar’s Farmers to Get Farmer ID

To streamline the Farmer ID enrollment, the state has outlined six concrete steps for cultivators. First, verify that the name on the land receipt or mutation certificate matches the Aadhaar entry. Second, update the mobile number linked to Aadhaar to receive OTPs. Third, ensure identical spelling of the farmer’s name across Aadhaar, bank passbook, and land documents. Fourth, complete the e‑KYC process on the PM‑Kisan portal before applying for the ID. Fifth, log into the Bihar Farmer Registry website, request an ID, and confirm the application via OTP. Sixth, if the land title remains in a predecessor’s name, initiate a mutation request without delay. Following these measures will help the 3.2 million unregistered farmers unlock the full suite of subsidies, insurance, and credit facilities offered by both central and state schemes.
