Frequently Asked Questions
What irrigation schemes are available for Indian farmers?

Who is eligible for irrigation schemes?
Eligibility varies by scheme. Most irrigation schemes require valid land ownership records, Aadhaar, and a bank account. Small and marginal farmers (land holding up to 2 hectares) are prioritised in most central schemes.
How do I apply for irrigation schemes?

Are irrigation scheme benefits directly deposited to bank accounts?
For most central government schemes, benefits are transferred directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Subsidy schemes may credit the amount to your loan account to reduce principal, rather than a direct cash transfer.
How long does it take to receive benefits under irrigation schemes?
Processing time varies. DBT cash transfers (like PM-KISAN) typically take 2–4 weeks after verification. Subsidy disbursements for investment-linked schemes (like AIF or NABARD-linked activities) take 30–90 days after asset installation and technical verification.
