Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi — ₹6,000/Year

What is Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi?

Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi (NMSMN) is a Maharashtra state government scheme that provides ₹6,000 per year directly to farmer's bank accounts — an addition to the ₹6,000 per year that farmers already receive from the central government's PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Together, eligible Maharashtra farmers receive ₹12,000 per year from both schemes.

The state scheme mirrors the PM Kisan pattern — ₹2,000 every four months, credited directly to the Aadhaar-linked bank account. It was launched by the Maharashtra government in 2023 to provide additional income support to farmers.

How Much Money?

Who is Eligible?

• Farmers already enrolled in PM Kisan Samman Nidhi are the primary targets — Maharashtra state identifies NMSMN beneficiaries from the PM Kisan database
• Must be a resident of Maharashtra with agricultural land
• Land must be in the farmer's name or as a tenant with valid records
• Must have an Aadhaar-linked bank account for DBT
• No separate income or land area limit — same as PM Kisan criteria

If you are a PM Kisan beneficiary in Maharashtra, you are likely automatically enrolled in NMSMN — no separate application needed.

How to Check If You Are a Beneficiary

1. Visit nsmny.mahait.org (official Namo Shetkari portal)
2. Click "Beneficiary Status"
3. Enter your Aadhaar number or registered mobile number or bank account number
4. Your enrollment status and installment payment history will be shown

Alternative:

• Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) / Seva Kendra
• Or contact your Agricultural Department office at the taluka level

How to Check Namo Shetkari Payment Status

1. Go to nsmny.mahait.org
2. Click "Payment Status" or "Installment Status"
3. Enter Aadhaar number or bank account number
4. See which installments have been credited and the dates

You can also check:

• Your bank passbook / net banking — payments appear with description "NMSMN" or "Namo Shetkari"
• PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) — for PM Kisan amounts

What to Do If You Are Not Getting Payments

If you are a PM Kisan beneficiary but not receiving NMSMN payments:

1. Visit your nearest Agriculture Department office (taluka or district level)
2. Carry: Aadhaar card, 7/12 extract (land records), bank passbook
3. Ask them to verify your NMSMN enrollment status
4. If your Aadhaar is not linked to your bank account, link it first (at any bank branch)
5. If your PM Kisan status shows issues (pending KYC, land verification), resolve those first — NMSMN depends on PM Kisan enrollment

Common reasons for non-payment:

• Aadhaar not linked to bank account
• Bank account number changed but not updated
• PM Kisan e-KYC pending (check pmkisan.gov.in)
• Land records issue (7/12 dispute)

New Farmers — How to Apply

If you are a Maharashtra farmer who is NOT yet enrolled in PM Kisan:

1. First apply for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi at pmkisan.gov.in → "New Farmer Registration"
2. Submit: Aadhaar, land records (7/12), bank account details
3. Once PM Kisan is approved, apply for NMSMN at nsmny.mahait.org → "New Registration" or through your local Agriculture Department
4. Or visit your Taluka Agriculture Office for help with both applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scheme only for small/marginal farmers?

No — all farmers enrolled in PM Kisan are eligible, regardless of land size. The criteria follow PM Kisan guidelines (institutional landholders, government employees earning above ₹10,000/month in central/state government, income taxpayers, and constitutional post holders are excluded — same exclusions as PM Kisan).

When are the installments paid?

Installments are paid approximately every 4 months (three installments per year). Check nsmny.mahait.org for the current installment schedule.

If I get PM Kisan, is NMSMN automatic?

For most farmers, yes — the state government enrolls PM Kisan beneficiaries automatically. However, some farmers have faced issues and had to manually register. Check your status on the portal.

Can tenant farmers apply?

Tenant farmers registered under PM Kisan (with land records in their operational name) are eligible. Oral lessees without documentation may not qualify. Check with your local Agriculture Department.

What if I got the first installment but not later ones?

This usually means an issue with Aadhaar-bank account linking, bank account change, or KYC update. Visit your bank and Agriculture office with Aadhaar card to resolve.

Is this scheme permanent or temporary?

The scheme was launched in 2023. As of 2026, it is continuing. Renewals depend on the state budget — check the Maharashtra government website for current status.
