Frequently Asked Questions about Rythu Bharosa
Do tenant farmers get Rythu Bharosa?
The payment goes to the pattadar recorded in Bhu Bharati. Tenant farmers should check with their AEO, since coverage of tenants depends on the state's current guidelines and a registered lease.
Can I get both PM-KISAN and Rythu Bharosa?
Yes. PM-KISAN is a central scheme and Rythu Bharosa is a state scheme, so an eligible farmer can receive both.
Why did I not get money for all my land?
Only cultivable land is paid for. If part of your land is shown as fallow or non-agricultural after verification, that part is left out. Contact your AEO to correct any error.
