Name Change in PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry in Jharkhand
Start with the sentence that governs everything here. The scheme's operational guidelines say that "The benefit shall be paid to only those farmers' families whose names are entered into the land records." Not to a person who farms. To a name that is already written in a land record. And the unit is not you, it is the household: the guidelines define a landholder farmer's family as "a family comprising of husband, wife and minor children who owns cultivable land as per land records." That is why a stopped instalment so often turns out to be a land record question or a family question rather than a spelling question. Before you correct anything, read the recovery clause on this page. This is the only record we write about where a declaration made carelessly, to get an instalment moving, can turn a paperwork problem into a demand for the money back.
Find out first whether your problem is actually a name at all, because very often it is not. An instalment can stop for reasons that have nothing to do with a spelling: the household may fall in one of the excluded categories, the land record may not carry the name, the Aadhaar may not be seeded, or the bank details may be wrong. The guidelines are clear that payment runs "only on the basis of Aadhaar seeded data base" for instalments from the December 2019 to March 2020 trimester onwards, and that "Responsibility of identifying the land holder farmer family eligible for benefit under the scheme shall be of the State / UT Government." They also say that "Correctness of beneficiary details is to be ensured by State / UT Governments", with speedy reconciliation where bank details are wrong or incomplete. So the work is at the State level, through a named forum, and not by editing a national portal yourself. The guidelines set up State and District Level Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committees and say grievances "should be disposed off on merit preferably within two weeks time", and they tell States to have a mechanism "to ensure revision of the name of the beneficiary in case of mutation". Now the warning, and it is the most important paragraph on this page. The guidelines also state that "In case of incorrect self declaration, beneficiary shall be liable for recovery of transferred financial benefit and other penal actions as per law." Everywhere else on this website our advice is to correct things quickly. Here it is to correct them truthfully, and never to sign something untrue in order to restart a payment.
PM-Kisan Pays a Family Whose Name Is Already in the Land Record
Almost every confused conversation about this scheme is cleared up by two definitions from the guidelines themselves. Read them slowly, because they decide who can be paid and who cannot.
| What the guidelines say | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| A landholder farmer's family is "a family comprising of husband, wife and minor children who owns cultivable land as per land records" | The unit is a household, not a person. A father and a grown son with separate names may still be one family for this purpose, or two, depending entirely on what the land records show |
| "The benefit shall be paid to only those farmers' families whose names are entered into the land records." | This is the whole scheme in one line. The money follows a name written in a land record. If that name is not there, or is there in a form that cannot be matched, no amount of portal work will produce a payment |
| Payment of instalments from the December 2019 to March 2020 trimester onwards is done "only on the basis of Aadhaar seeded data base" | So there are two names to satisfy: the one in the land record and the one on the Aadhaar. They were written years apart by different people, and in Jharkhand they very often disagree |
| States are told to have a mechanism "to ensure revision of the name of the beneficiary in case of mutation" | The guidelines expressly contemplate a name being revised. That is worth knowing when somebody tells a farmer that nothing can ever be changed. It can, through the State, on a proper footing |
| States and Union Territories "can upload names of eligible beneficiaries who have been identified subsequently" | So the list is not closed. Being left out this year is not a permanent exclusion, provided the household is genuinely eligible and the records are put right |
| What this changes about your question | Stop asking how to change the name in PM-Kisan. Ask whether the name is in the land record, and whether the Aadhaar matches it. Those two questions cover nearly every case we see |
Why a Stopped PM-Kisan Instalment Is Often Not a Name Problem at All
We meet a great many households who have spent months chasing a spelling, and who were never eligible in the first place. That is a painful conversation, so we would rather you had it here, free, before anybody takes your money to fix a name.
| The reason | What to check, and what it means |
|---|---|
| The household falls in an excluded category | The guidelines exclude several kinds of household outright. Among them are former and present holders of constitutional posts, "All Persons who paid Income Tax in last assessment year", certain Government officers, employees and pensioners by income, and "Professionals like Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Chartered Accountants, and Architects" who are registered and practising |
| A non-resident household | The guidelines state that "Non-resident Indians (NRIs) in terms of the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 shall be excluded from any benefit." That is a tax law test, not a passport test, and it catches families who did not think of themselves that way |
| The name is not entered in the land record | Because the benefit goes only to families "whose names are entered into the land records". A man who farms his father's land, with the record still in the father's name, has a land record question and not a spelling question |
| The Aadhaar is not seeded | Payment runs "only on the basis of Aadhaar seeded data base". An Aadhaar that is not linked, or that cannot be matched, stops the payment whatever the land record says |
| The bank details are wrong or incomplete | The guidelines tell States to ensure speedy reconciliation in such cases. This is a common and entirely fixable cause, and it is the first thing to check because it is the cheapest |
| Somebody else in the family is already being paid | The unit is a family of husband, wife and minor children. If the household is already counted once, a second name will not produce a second payment, and that is the design rather than an error |
| What to do about all of this | Work out which of these applies before treating it as a name. Our own reading of the guidelines is the honest starting point, but the exclusion clauses carry their own exceptions and wording, so read the list yourself and ask at the block office rather than relying on any website |
The PM-Kisan Recovery Clause, and Why You Must Never Declare a Guess
On every other page of this website our advice is to correct a record quickly. On this one it is to correct it truthfully, and the reason is a single clause.
Never declare a landholding you cannot show
The benefit goes to families whose names are entered into the land records. A declaration that stretches the truth about whose name is on what paper is precisely the kind of statement this clause is written for.
Never hide an exclusion to restart a payment
Income tax paid last year, a Government pension above the threshold, a practising professional in the household. These are checked against other databases, and a household that conceals one is not solving a problem, it is creating a much larger one.
Never let an agent fill a declaration for you unread
The liability sits with the beneficiary, not with the person who typed the form. Read every line that is submitted in your name, and keep a copy of it, every single time.
A genuine correction is not a false declaration
Asking for a spelling to be put right, with your own papers attached, is an ordinary and proper request. The clause is about untruth, not about correction. Do not let it frighten you away from a legitimate grievance.
If money has already come and you now doubt eligibility
Stop, and take advice from somebody qualified before you do anything else. This is a situation where an honest early step is worth far more than a clever one, and it is not a documentation question.
Keep the paper trail, always
Copies of every form submitted in your name, every acknowledgement, every land paper you relied on. The only defence to a question asked three years later is the paper you kept.
PM-Kisan Beneficiary Details Are the State Government's Responsibility
Farmers write to a national portal, get no reply, and conclude that nobody is responsible. The guidelines say otherwise, and they say it twice.
| What the guidelines say | What follows for you |
|---|---|
| "Responsibility of identifying the land holder farmer family eligible for benefit under the scheme shall be of the State / UT Government." | Identification is a State function. So the office that can actually move your case is in your State, in your district, and very often in your block. That is where a written application belongs |
| "Correctness of beneficiary details is to be ensured by State / UT Governments." | A duty, in plain words. Where your own papers are right and the record shows something else, you are not asking for a favour, you are asking a Government to do what the guidelines say it must |
| And that speedy reconciliation should be ensured where the beneficiary's bank details are wrong or incomplete | So a wrong account name or a broken account is expressly a thing the State is meant to sort out quickly. Say the word reconciliation in your application, because it is the guidelines' own word |
| States may "upload names of eligible beneficiaries who have been identified subsequently" | The door is not shut. A household that was missed can be added later if it is genuinely eligible, which is the answer to anybody who says the list was closed years ago |
| And should have a mechanism "to ensure revision of the name of the beneficiary in case of mutation" | So a change in the land record is meant to flow through into the scheme record. If you have had a mutation done, say so expressly, because that is the situation the guidelines already provide for |
| The practical lesson | Write in your own State, on paper, to a named office, and keep the acknowledgement. A portal with no reply is not the only route, and it is usually the least effective one |
The PM-Kisan Grievance Committees and the Two Week Expectation
Most farmers have never been told that the scheme has a named grievance structure with a stated timeframe. It is in the guidelines, and it is the single most useful thing on this page after the recovery clause.
Start at the block, not at the top
Hand your written application in at the block agriculture office first and get it acknowledged. A grievance that has never been raised locally is easy to send back down again, and that alone wastes a month.
Then take it to the district level
The guidelines require a District Level Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committee. Address your application to it by that description if nobody will tell you a name, and attach the block acknowledgement.
Say what you want in one sentence
Not a story. Correct the beneficiary name to match the land record and the Aadhaar, or add the household to the list, or reconcile the bank details. One clear ask, near the top of the page.
Quote the two week preference politely
Once, at the end, as a request rather than a demand. Officials respond to a farmer who knows the rule and resist one who shouts it. The tone is doing real work here.
Keep going up only with paper in hand
Each step should carry the acknowledgement of the one below it. A file that shows a date at every stage is very hard to ignore, and it is the only thing that survives a transfer of officers.
Do not pay anybody to do what a letter does
This route costs paper and postage. Where we earn a fee is in working out what is actually wrong and drafting it correctly, not in handing over a letter you could hand over yourself.
Farmer Registry and Farmer ID: What Is Coming and Where the Real Website Is
Alongside the scheme there is now a larger record being built, and a farmer whose name is inconsistent today will meet the problem again through this one. It is worth understanding while you are already dealing with the papers.
| What has been officially stated | Why it matters to a name |
|---|---|
| "AgriStack is a farmer-centric DPI that will enable efficient, easier, and faster services and scheme delivery to farmers." | DPI means digital public infrastructure. The plumbing behind future schemes, which is why a mismatch here would not stay confined to one scheme |
| It consists of three foundational registries, "the Farmers' Registry, Geo-referenced village maps and the Crop Sown Registry" | Note that two of the three are about land and crops, not about people. The farmer sits inside a structure that is mostly about fields |
| Farmers "will be given a digital identity (Farmer ID) similar to Aadhaar, which will be a trusted 'Kisan ki Pehchaan'" | An identity of its own. Which means the spelling that goes into it at the start is the spelling that will be quoted back at you later, exactly as happens with every other identity record |
| The Farmer ID "will be linked dynamically to the State's land records, livestock ownership, crops sown, demographic details, family details, schemes and benefits availed etc." | Linked dynamically is the useful phrase. It reads the State's land record rather than storing a frozen copy, so once again the land record is the thing worth getting right |
| The whole thing sits under a mission approved by the Union Cabinet | So this is not a rumour in a village and it is not going away. A household that settles its spellings now is doing work it would otherwise do later anyway |
| What we could not verify | We found no published correction procedure, form, fee or timeline for a name in the Farmer Registry, and nothing specific to Jharkhand's own enrolment. So we print none of those, and we tell you where to look instead |
How to Correct a Name in PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry Records in Jharkhand
Check eligibility before anything else
Read the excluded categories against your own household honestly. A family that is not eligible does not have a name problem, and months spent on a spelling will change nothing.
Check whether the name is in the land record
Because the benefit goes only to families whose names are entered into the land records. A son farming land still recorded in a father's name is a different question altogether.
Put the land record beside the Aadhaar
Read both letter by letter. Payment runs on an Aadhaar seeded database, so these two are the pair that must agree. Write down both versions before you decide anything.
Check the bank details early, they are the cheapest fix
Wrong or incomplete bank details are a named cause and the guidelines call for speedy reconciliation. A branch visit may end the whole matter in a morning.
Decide which single record is the odd one out
Not the easiest to change. Whichever disagrees with everything else the household holds is the one that is wrong, and correcting the other one costs money and settles nothing.
Correct the Aadhaar if that is the odd one
Aadhaar charges a fee per attempt with no refund and limits how often a name may be updated, so get the request right the first time. Our Aadhaar page covers it.
Treat the land record as the serious one
If the khatiyan or jamabandi carries the wrong name, take advice before acting. Our jamabandi and khatiyan page explains why, and why an advocate earns his fee there.
Say so expressly if a mutation has been done
The guidelines tell States to have a mechanism to revise the beneficiary's name in case of mutation. If that is your situation, you are asking for something already provided for.
Write to the block office, on paper
One page, one clear ask, copies attached, and note that correctness of beneficiary details rests with the State Government. Take a dated acknowledgement away with you.
Escalate to the district committee if nothing moves
The guidelines require District Level Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committees, with disposal preferably within two weeks. Attach the block acknowledgement to show you started properly.
Never sign a declaration you have not read
The recovery clause makes the beneficiary liable, not the agent. Read it, keep a copy, and refuse anything you cannot support with a paper.
Settle the whole household in one round
Husband, wife, the names on the land record, the Aadhaar of each. One careful round now also prepares you for the Farmer Registry, which reads the same records.
Central Gazette Process for a Name From Jharkhand, and Where It Fits a Farm Scheme Record
No district in Jharkhand has a gazette counter, so a genuine file goes from Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Deoghar or anywhere else in the state to the Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054, and the notice publishes in Part IV of the Gazette of India. As reported in July 2025 the Finance Department stopped personal name change notifications from the Jharkhand Government Press with immediate effect, so there is no state alternative to fall back on.
The Eight Steps of a Name File Sent From Jharkhand
Settle the final name first
Letter by letter, with the spacing you want, and then use exactly that everywhere, Aadhaar included. A corrigendum after publication is a second fee and a second wait.
Pick the category, then its proforma
A genuine change of name is change of Name Adult or Major. A wrongly typed spelling is the public notice for a wrongly written name. Twelve categories exist and only one is yours.
Type the proforma in duplicate
Two originals with two witnesses giving signature, full name, address and mobile number on both copies. A change of name is signed in the old name; a public notice is signed in your own name.
Fill the employment field if it is a change of name
The adult proforma asks for the post of the applicant and the office or company name. A student or a homemaker should still complete it rather than leaving it blank, because a blank field brings the file back.
Publish and keep the original paper
One of the daily local leading newspapers, carrying both names in full, the father or husband name and the residential address. The whole original paper goes in the file, not a cutting.
Pay only through BharatKosh
The Non Tax Receipt Portal and nowhere else since October 2018. Select the Department of Publication by name, read the amount the portal shows on the day, pay in your own name and print the e-receipt.
Check every date, then post it yourself
Nothing in the file older than one year. Personally or by post or courier only, never through an agent or advocate. Photocopy everything first, because nothing sent in comes back.
Read the notice, then update in the right order
Check every word the day it publishes, download the e-Gazette copy, and then work through the Aadhaar and the bank account first, because the scheme reads both. Anything touching the land record is a separate revenue process and belongs with an advocate.
The Five Papers in the File, and What Is Checked in Each
| The paper | What is checked in it, clause by clause |
|---|---|
| 1. The proforma, in duplicate | That it is the right category format; the existing full name exactly as your documents carry it; the new full name exactly as settled; the father or husband name; the full address with pin code; the post and office or company name where it is a change of name; the signature in the right name for the category; two witnesses complete with signature, full name, address and mobile number |
| 2. The affidavit or undertaking | The same names and address as the proforma, word for word, with wording matching the category. On Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper as our safe default |
| 3. The original newspaper | The original paper, not a cutting; the paper name and date of publication visible; both names carried; the father or husband name and residential address; dated within the last year |
| 4. Photographs, identity proof and any category paper | Two self attested passport photographs; self attested identity and address proof matching the proforma address; both witnesses proofs; and, in a public notice file, the attested photocopy of the connected document carrying the error |
| 5. The CD, its certificate and the BharatKosh receipt | MS Word, without the witness portion, with the name typed in place of the signature; the certificate that the hard copy and the soft copy are the same; the forwarding letter to the Controller of Publication with a telephone number and email; the e-receipt |
The posting detail is on the sending the file to Delhi page, the change of name wording on the proforma format page and the public notice wording on the public notice proforma page, the charge by category on the fee and undertaking page, the reasons files come back on the rejection reasons page, and the download on the download page.
What a PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry Name Correction Costs in Jharkhand
| Item | Cost | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Checking eligibility against the excluded categories | Nothing, and it is the first thing to do. A household that is not eligible does not have a name problem, and finding that out today is worth more than any correction | Half an hour with the guidelines |
| Reading the land record against the Aadhaar | Nothing. Two papers on one table. The scheme pays families whose names are entered into the land records, checked against an Aadhaar seeded database, so this pair decides everything | Ten minutes |
| A written application at the block office | Paper and postage. Correctness of beneficiary details rests with the State Government, so this is a request made on a proper footing rather than a favour asked | Send it the week you find the problem |
| A grievance to the District Level Committee | Paper and postage again. The guidelines require these committees and say grievances should preferably be disposed of within two weeks. Attach the block acknowledgement | Two weeks is the stated preference, not a promise |
| Correcting the bank details | The bank's own process at the branch. We print no charge because banks differ and we verified none. Often the cheapest and fastest of all the routes on this page | Set by the branch |
| Correcting the Aadhaar, where that is the record that is wrong | Aadhaar charges a fee per attempt with no refund and limits how often a name may be updated. Payment runs on an Aadhaar seeded database, so it has to be right | Set by the enrolment centre |
| Correcting or mutating the land record | The expensive one and the serious one. A revenue process with its own costs, and the page where we tell you to take an advocate rather than a documentation desk | Months, not days |
| A name correction inside PM-Kisan or the Farmer Registry itself | We print no fee, because we verified none. We found no published correction form, fee or timeline for either, and anybody quoting a fixed amount should be asked which paper he is going to change | Not stated in the sources we read |
| Government printing charge, only in a genuine change of a person's own name | The guidelines print Rs 1,100 for an adult change of name and Rs 1,400 for a public notice, for FY 2016 to 2017, each with the caveat that the charge varies each financial year and from case to case. What BharatKosh shows on the payment screen the day you pay is the figure that counts | Part IV publishes weekly, so allow several weeks from posting |
| Our charge | Quoted on your papers before you pay anything, and confirmed in writing. We print no service price on any page of this site | |
Myths About PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry Name Corrections
| What farmers are told | What is actually so |
|---|---|
| My instalment stopped, so the name must be wrong | Often it is not. Eligibility, an unentered name in the land record, an unseeded Aadhaar or wrong bank details all stop a payment with a perfectly correct spelling. Check those four before you treat it as a name |
| I just need to declare whatever gets the money moving again | This is the single most dangerous belief on the subject. The guidelines say "In case of incorrect self declaration, beneficiary shall be liable for recovery of transferred financial benefit and other penal actions as per law." The liability is yours, not the agent's |
| Everybody who farms is eligible | No. The benefit goes only to families "whose names are entered into the land records", and several categories of household are excluded outright, including income tax payers of the last assessment year and non-residents under the Income Tax Act 1961 |
| Each adult in the house can get it separately | The unit is "a family comprising of husband, wife and minor children who owns cultivable land as per land records". That is the design, not an error in your case |
| Nobody is responsible, so there is nothing to be done | The guidelines say identification is the State or Union Territory Government's responsibility and that "Correctness of beneficiary details is to be ensured by State / UT Governments." There is a named duty and a named forum |
| There is no proper complaint route | There is. The guidelines require State and District Level Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committees, with grievances to be disposed of on merit preferably within two weeks. Almost nobody uses this |
| A gazette notification will restart the payment | It will not. A gazette does not enter a name into a khatiyan, does not carry out a mutation and does not seed an Aadhaar. It changes none of the things the scheme actually reads |
| The list was closed years ago, so a missed household can never be added | Not so. States and Union Territories "can upload names of eligible beneficiaries who have been identified subsequently", provided the household is genuinely eligible and the records support it |
| A mutation does not help, the scheme will never know | The guidelines tell States to have a mechanism "to ensure revision of the name of the beneficiary in case of mutation". If you have had a mutation done, say so expressly in writing, because it is already provided for |
| That farmer registry website with the official looking name is the Government one | Check the address. The Government's own portal for this is agristack.gov.in, and a Government page address ends in a Government domain. Containing the word does not make a site official |
Key Terms in a PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry Name Correction
| Term | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Landholder farmer family | "A family comprising of husband, wife and minor children who owns cultivable land as per land records." The unit the scheme pays, and the reason a second name in the house does not bring a second payment |
| Entered into the land records | The condition for payment. Not farming the land, not living on it. The name has to be written in the record |
| Aadhaar seeded database | The basis on which instalments are paid. Two names therefore have to agree: the one in the land record and the one on the Aadhaar |
| Mutation | The change of a name in the land record after an inheritance, a sale or a partition. The guidelines expressly tell States to revise the beneficiary's name where one has happened |
| Exclusion category | A kind of household the guidelines keep out of the scheme altogether, whatever the land record says. Read the published list against your own household honestly |
| Self declaration | What you sign to say your household qualifies. An incorrect one exposes the beneficiary to recovery of the money and penal action, which is the sharpest clause on this page |
| Reconciliation | The guidelines' own word for sorting out wrong or incomplete bank details. Use it in your application, because it names exactly what you are asking for |
| Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committee | The State and District level committees the guidelines require, for grievances about how the scheme is being run. A forum most farmers have never been told about |
| AgriStack | Described officially as "a farmer-centric DPI that will enable efficient, easier, and faster services and scheme delivery to farmers", built on three foundational registries |
| Farmer Registry | One of those three registries, alongside geo-referenced village maps and the crop sown registry. The one that holds people rather than fields |
| Farmer ID | A digital identity described as similar to Aadhaar and as a trusted Kisan ki Pehchaan, linked dynamically to the State's land records and other details |
| Linked dynamically | It reads the State's land record rather than keeping a frozen copy. Which is why the land record is worth getting right once |
PM-Kisan and Farmer Registry Name Help Across Jharkhand
The offices that matter here are all close to you: the block agriculture office, the circle office where the land record lives, the bank branch and the Aadhaar enrolment centre. What we do comes before those visits and usually saves most of them. We read your land paper against the Aadhaar, the bank passbook and whatever the scheme is showing, tell you honestly whether the household is eligible at all, tell you whether the name is actually entered in the land record, tell you which single record is out of step, and draft the block application and the district grievance in the words the guidelines themselves use. We will also tell you when the answer is that your household is not eligible and nothing here will help, because that answer saves a farmer a year. All of it on your scans over WhatsApp, for every district.
District pages are linked from the services page.
Send the land record and the Aadhaar
Send the land record, whether that is a khatiyan, a jamabandi extract or a rent receipt, the Aadhaar of the person in whose name it stands, the bank passbook page carrying the name, and a photograph of whatever status or message the scheme is showing you. Tell us in one line what has actually happened: the instalment has stopped, the name has come through wrongly, or the household was never on the list. Our first reply tells you whether this is a name problem at all, because very often it is an eligibility question, an unentered name in the land record or a bank detail instead. Then we tell you which single record is out of step, draft the block application and the district grievance in the guidelines' own words, and tell you what to ask for. We will not help anybody make a declaration we can see is untrue, because the recovery clause makes you liable and not us. Details on the contact page.

A PM-Kisan Name Problem in Eight Lines
The short version
- The benefit goes to families whose names are in the land records.
- The unit is a household: husband, wife and minor children.
- Payment runs on an Aadhaar seeded database, so two names must agree.
- A stopped instalment is often eligibility, not spelling.
- An incorrect self declaration means recovery and penal action.
- Correctness of beneficiary details rests with the State Government.
- District grievance committees exist, with two weeks preferred.
- The Farmer ID reads the same land records, so settle them once.
Before you sign anything to restart an instalment, let somebody read your papers.
The recovery clause makes the beneficiary liable, not the person who filled the form. Send us the land record, the Aadhaar and the bank page, and we will tell you what they actually show.
