Namo Shetkari Yojana, full name Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi Yojana, pays eligible Maharashtra farmer families 6,000 rupees a year from the state, in three instalments of 2,000 rupees, on top of the 6,000 rupees they already get under PM Kisan. There is no separate application: the state pays the farmers who are approved under PM Kisan in Maharashtra.
The Commissionerate of Agriculture in Pune runs it, and its portal nsmny.mahait.org shows beneficiary status and the reason when a payment fails. A raise of the state share to 9,000 rupees a year was announced publicly, but the instalment circulars on the portal and later payment reports still show 6,000 rupees, so treat the higher figure as not yet in force until a government resolution says so.

How the namo shetkari mahasanman nidhi yojana works
The state uses the same list of farmers that the Union government pays under PM Kisan. When a Maharashtra farmer family is valid in that list, with land records, Aadhaar, bank account and e-KYC all in order, the state sends its own instalment straight into the same Aadhaar linked bank account by DBT. That is why it is often called namo kisan yojana: together the two schemes give 12,000 rupees a year.
| Scheme | Paid by | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| PM Kisan | Union government | 6,000 rupees |
| Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi | Maharashtra government | 6,000 rupees |
| Total | 12,000 rupees |
Which farmers qualify
The family means husband, wife and minor children, holding cultivable land in their name in Maharashtra as per the PM Kisan cut off. The same exclusions as PM Kisan apply, such as income tax payers, constitutional post holders, serving and retired officers above set levels, and professionals like doctors and lawyers. If you are dropped from PM Kisan, the state instalment stops too.
So a new farmer who wants this shetkari yojana does not fill a state form. You register for PM Kisan through the CSC or the PM Kisan site, get it approved by the taluka agriculture office, and finish e-KYC and land seeding. The state benefit follows once that record is valid.
Namo shetkari yojana beneficiary status, step by step
- Open nsmny.mahait.org on your phone.
- Choose the Beneficiary Status option on the home page. No password is needed for this.
- Enter your registration number or mobile number as asked, and the captcha text.
- Read the instalment table. It lists each instalment, the amount and whether it was credited, with the bank and date.
- If a line shows a failure, note the reason code and match it with the table below.
To see the namo shetkari yojana beneficiary list for a whole village, the portal and the village agriculture assistant are the official routes; lists shared on social media are often old.
Payment failure codes and what to do
The portal lists the reasons for undisbursed money. The common ones are below.
| Message | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Account blocked or frozen | Bank has stopped the account | Visit the bank to clear it, or give another savings account |
| Aadhaar de-seeded or UID disabled | Aadhaar no longer mapped with NPCI | Ask your bank to seed Aadhaar again in the NPCI mapper |
| Account closed | The linked account no longer exists | Link a different savings account to Aadhaar |
| Invalid account type | Loan, PPF, FD or NRE account linked | Link a regular savings account |
| KYC pending | Bank KYC not complete | Complete KYC at any branch of your bank |
| Dormant or inoperative | No transaction for a long time | Do a small deposit or withdrawal at the bank to activate it |
When your name is missing
A missing name usually means your PM Kisan record is not valid yet. Check four things: Aadhaar based e-KYC on PM Kisan, land seeding marked yes, bank account seeded with Aadhaar, and the record approved by the state. Our PM Kisan status page shows how to read those fields. Once they are fixed, the state instalment can be paid from the next distribution. Past instalments missed while the record was invalid are decided by the department, not the bank.
About the announced increase
A public announcement said the state share would rise by 3,000 rupees to 9,000 rupees a year. The instalment circulars on the official portal do not show a changed amount, and reports on later instalments still describe the state share as 6,000 rupees. Until a government resolution is published, plan only on the amount actually shown in your beneficiary status. This page will not guess when any instalment will be paid.
Helpline and other farm schemes
Helpline numbers on the portal: 020-25538755 and email pmkisan-mh@gov.in, at the Commissionerate of Agriculture, Pune. Your taluka agriculture officer can correct land and Aadhaar details. For crop loss cover see PM Fasal Bima Yojana. Similar state top ups exist in Madhya Pradesh, explained on CM Kisan Kalyan Yojana, and in Odisha.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to apply separately for namo shetkari yojana?
No. The state pays farmers whose PM Kisan record in Maharashtra is valid. Fix your PM Kisan record if you are not getting it.
How much is the namo kisan yojana amount?
6,000 rupees a year from the state, paid as three instalments of 2,000 rupees, in addition to PM Kisan.
Has the amount become 9,000 rupees?
An increase to 9,000 rupees was announced, but the official instalment circulars and later payment reports still show 6,000 rupees. Check your beneficiary status for what is actually paid.
Why did I get PM Kisan but not the state instalment?
The state checks the record again before paying. Look for a failure code on nsmny.mahait.org or ask the taluka agriculture office.
Where can I see the namo shetkari yojana beneficiary list?
The portal and the village agriculture assistant are the two reliable sources. Avoid lists forwarded on messaging groups.
Can a tenant farmer get this shetkari yojana?
The scheme follows PM Kisan, which needs land in the farmer family's name in land records. Sharecroppers who own no recorded land fall outside it.
