PM Kisan 24th Installment: Mandatory Farmer Registry Registration for AP Farmers

Urgent Alert for PM Kisan Beneficiaries in Andhra Pradesh

Farmers in Andhra Pradesh awaiting the 24th installment of the ప్రధాన మంత్రి కిసాన్ సమ్మాన్ నిధి (PM Kisan Samman Nidhi) must take immediate action to avoid losing their benefits. The state agriculture department has announced that registration in the 'Farmer Registry' is now mandatory to receive upcoming funds, which are expected to be released next month.

According to official data as of September 2026, approximately 64.71 lakh farmers in Andhra Pradesh are registered for the PM Kisan scheme. However, only 52.06 lakh have completed their Farmer Registry registration, leaving about 7.34 lakh farmers at risk of being declared ineligible [1]. Officials have warned that even those who have received previous installments may be disqualified if they fail to obtain a unique Farmer ID.

Why the Farmer Registry is Essential

The Farmer Registry is not only a prerequisite for the 24th installment of PM Kisan funds but is increasingly becoming a requirement for other critical agricultural services. In several states, this registration is now mandatory for:

• Selling agricultural produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
• Availing crop insurance.
• Purchasing subsidized fertilizers.

Failure to register could lead to permanent ineligibility, with officials stating that there may be no option to re-register later once the disqualification list is finalized [1].

How to Register and Documents Required

To secure the upcoming payment, farmers must complete the registration process to receive a unique 11-digit Farmer ID. The following documents are mandatory for the application:

Requirement	Specific Detail
Aadhaar Card	Must be linked to an active mobile number
Land Records	Pattadar Passbook and revenue records
Bank Account	Must be Aadhaar-seeded to prevent payment failure
