Who is not eligible
Farmers below 18 or above 40 at entry, and those holding more than 2 hectares of cultivable land, cannot enrol. Members already covered by other statutory pension or social security schemes are generally excluded.
Documents needed
- Aadhaar card
- Savings bank account passbook with IFSC
- Land record showing holding up to 2 hectares
- Mobile number
Deadline
Enrolment is open all year. The monthly contribution depends on your age at joining, so joining younger costs less.
How to apply
- Visit the nearest common service centre with Aadhaar and your bank passbook.
- The village level entrepreneur registers you and collects the first contribution; you sign an auto-debit mandate.
- Collect your Kisan Pension Account Number and pension card, and keep the auto-debit account funded each month.
If rejected
- Check whether the land record shows more than 2 hectares, or whether your age at entry is outside 18-40.
- Correct any Aadhaar or bank mismatch at the common service centre and re-apply.
- Contact the scheme helpline if the record is correct but enrolment still fails.
