I farm on leased land, the owner gets PM-Kisan but not me, is this correct?

I am a tenant farmer and have been farming 4 acres on lease for years. The actual land owner who lives in the city and does not farm gets the PM-Kisan 6000. I do the real farming but get nothing. Is this how the rule works for tenant and leased land farmers?

Unfortunately, under the central PM-Kisan rules this is how it currently works, and many tenant farmers face the same unfairness. PM-Kisan benefit is tied to land ownership recorded in the official land records, not to who actually cultivates. So the registered landholder gets the 6000, even if that person leased the land to you and does not farm. As a pure tenant or sharecropper with no land recorded in your own name, you are generally not eligible for central PM-Kisan, because there is no ownership record to verify and seed. This was kept this way partly to avoid disputes and double claims on the same piece of land. What you can still do. First, if you own any other land in your own name, even a small parcel elsewhere, you can register for PM-Kisan on that. Second, check your state, because some states run their own farmer income support schemes with different rules, and a few have tried to include tenant or actual cultivators, for example Telangana and some others have had their own schemes. Your state agriculture department or village agriculture officer can tell you if any state scheme covers tenant cultivators. Third, even without PM-Kisan, as a tenant cultivator you may still access crop loans through a KCC against a registered lease or a joint liability group, and crop insurance. For PM-Kisan specifically, rely on the official rules at pmkisan.gov.in, but for tenant relief look at your state level schemes through the local agriculture office.

Same story here. The owner sits in Hyderabad and collects 6000, we sweat in the field. At least check if your state has its own scheme, AP and Telangana had Rythu schemes earlier.

If you have even a small bit of land somewhere in your own name, register on that. That is what I did.
