Frequently Asked Questions
How many government schemes are available for Indian farmers?
NaPanta covers 5+ active central and state government agri schemes including credit, insurance, subsidy, irrigation and market support programmes. The list is updated whenever new schemes are announced.
What is the difference between central and state agri schemes?
Central schemes are funded entirely by the Union government and apply across India (e.g., PM-KISAN, PMFBY, KCC). State schemes are funded by state governments or jointly with the centre and are specific to one state (e.g., Rythu Bandhu in Telangana, YSR Rythu Bharosa in Andhra Pradesh).
What documents do most agri schemes require?
Most central and state agri schemes require Aadhaar card, land ownership records (7/12 extract, patta, or registered lease), bank passbook, and a recent passport photograph. Some schemes additionally require a caste certificate for SC/ST benefits or a crop-sown certificate.
How do I know which scheme I am eligible for?
Browse by category (credit, insurance, subsidy, irrigation) above or use the Scheme Eligibility Checker. Each scheme page lists the eligibility criteria, land holding limits and income caps so you can compare them against your situation.
Which agri scheme gives the maximum financial benefit?
It depends on the investment. PMFBY covers insurance for crop losses up to the insured sum. PM-KUSUM offers up to 90% subsidy on solar pumps. AIF provides up to ₹2 crore credit-linked subsidy for agri infrastructure. NABARD-backed term loans can fund activities worth ₹1 lakh to ₹2 crore based on unit costs.
