I bought new agricultural land recently, how do I add it and register for PM-Kisan?

The most important step before PM-Kisan will work on newly purchased land is mutation. A registry or sale deed transfers ownership legally, but PM-Kisan land seeding uses the official land record (khasra, khatauni or record of rights), and that record only updates to your name after mutation, called dakhil kharij or namantaran, is completed. So even though you have the registry, if the revenue record still shows the seller's name, PM-Kisan land seeding for you will fail. Step one, apply for and complete mutation at your tehsil or revenue office so your name appears in the land record. Step two, once your name is in the record, register for PM-Kisan on the official pmkisan.gov.in portal under New Farmer Registration, or do it through a CSC, keeping your Aadhaar, bank details and the updated land record ready. Step three, complete eKYC and make sure your Aadhaar is NPCI seeded to your bank for DBT. After registration your application goes for verification and land seeding against the updated record, so it is not instant. If the seller was also drawing PM-Kisan on that same land, the system should stop their benefit once the land moves to you, since benefit follows ownership. To summarise, complete mutation first, then register, then finish eKYC and bank seeding. Use only official channels throughout.
