Frequently Asked Questions
Which government schemes are available for farmers in Assam?
Assam farmers can access both central schemes (PM-KISAN, PMFBY, PM-KUSUM, KCC, eNAM) and Assam-specific state schemes. NaPanta lists the schemes applicable to Assam farmers, with eligibility, benefits and how to apply.
How do I apply for government farm schemes in my state?
Each scheme has its own application portal. Central schemes like PM-KISAN are applied through pmkisan.gov.in via your Common Service Centre (CSC) or bank branch. State schemes are applied at your district agriculture office or the state's official agriculture portal. Click any scheme above to see the exact application steps.
Can tenant farmers in Assam apply for central government schemes?
Tenant farmers are eligible for PMFBY crop insurance and KCC loans with a landowner declaration. PM-KISAN is restricted to landholding farmers only. State-specific welfare schemes vary - check each scheme page for state eligibility.
Is there a single portal for all government farmer schemes?
The central government's PM-KISAN portal (pmkisan.gov.in) covers income support. Each scheme has its own portal. State-level schemes are managed through the state agriculture department portal. No single portal covers all schemes.
How long does scheme approval take?
Processing time varies: PM-KISAN DBT transfers take 4-6 weeks from registration. KCC loan appraisal takes 7-14 working days. Capital subsidy schemes (solar pump, drip irrigation) may take 2-4 months from application to sanction.
