What is Namo Shetkari Yojana (NSMNY)?

Namo Shetkari Yojana (NSMNY), also called Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi Yojana, is a Maharashtra Government scheme launched in 2023. It gives an additional ₹6,000 per year to eligible PM-KISAN beneficiaries, paid in three ₹2,000 instalments through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), which means the money is sent straight to your bank account.

Know more

Who is eligible for Namo Shetkari Yojana?

Your name usually appears in the Namo Shetkari Yojana beneficiary list only when your farmer details match the scheme checks and your bank account is ready for DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). If you are not shown as eligible, it is often due to a record mismatch or incomplete verification.

  • PM-KISAN approval status: Your farmer profile is typically expected to be approved/active under PM-KISAN-style checks.
  • Maharashtra domicile: You should be a resident farmer in Maharashtra, as per the scheme’s state coverage.
  • Landholding/ownership linkage: Your land record and farmer details should be correctly linked and updated in the official records used for verification.
  • Aadhaar-linked bank account: Your bank account should be linked to your Aadhaar so DBT credits can be processed.
  • KYC/verification complete: Your identity and bank details should be verified (pending KYC can block eligibility/status).
  • Common reasons for showing “not eligible”: Not eligible under PM-KISAN checks, Aadhaar/bank/name mismatch, land record not updated, or duplicate/incorrect family mapping.

Aadhaar callout: Keep your Aadhaar details consistent across your land records and bank account, and ensure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is active for OTP-based verification when required.

How to check Namo Shetkari Yojana beneficiary list village-wise

To check the Namo Shetkari Yojana (NSMNY) beneficiary list village-wise, you usually need to use the official scheme portal workflow and filter results by your local area. The exact screens can change, so follow what you see on the portal.

  1. Open the official NSMNY portal and find the option like “Beneficiary Status”, “Beneficiary List”, or a report/list section.
  2. Select your administrative area in order (for example: district → taluka → village), if those filters are shown.
  3. Enter the required details the portal asks for (such as a registration/reference number, mobile number, or Aadhaar-based details).
  4. Request OTP verification if prompted.
  5. Receive the OTP on the mobile number linked to Aadhaar and submit it on the portal to continue.
  6. View the results on screen and check your name, village, and status carefully.
  7. Download or print the list/status page if the portal provides a PDF/print option.
  8. Use options like “undisbursed-fund error-code details” or “Online Refund” tracking if you see payment-related messages.

Note: A public village-wise beneficiary list may not always be available on the portal. If OTP fails, first confirm your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and correct any mismatched details in Aadhaar records.

How to check Namo Shetkari Yojana beneficiary status using Aadhaar card

You can check your Namo Shetkari Yojana (NSMNY) beneficiary status online using your Aadhaar number and an OTP sent to the mobile number linked with Aadhaar. Use only official government portals, and never share your Aadhaar number in public places like social media or WhatsApp groups.

  1. Open the official NSMNY portal and find the “Beneficiary Status” option.
  2. Select the Aadhaar-based status check option (if shown).
  3. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number carefully.
  4. Accept the consent message shown on the screen to proceed with Aadhaar authentication for DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) information access.
  5. Request the OTP by tapping “Send OTP” (the OTP is sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number).
  6. Enter the OTP within the given time and submit to verify.
  7. View your beneficiary details and the instalment/payment status shown on the result page.
  8. Check related tools (if available), such as “Undisbursed Fund Error code details” or “Online Refund Track”, if your payment is not credited.
  • Approved: Your details are accepted and you are eligible as per the portal record.
  • Pending: Your request or verification may still be under review.
  • Payment processed: The instalment is marked as initiated/processed on the portal.
  • Failed/Undisbursed: Use the error code/refund tracking utilities to understand the issue shown.

Namo Shetkari Yojana instalment schedule and payment dates

Instalment numberPeriodExpected payment month
1As per the scheme’s cycle (may vary)Not fixed; check your “Beneficiary Status” on the official NSMNY portal
2As per the scheme’s cycle (may vary)Not fixed; check your “Beneficiary Status” on the official NSMNY portal
3As per the scheme’s cycle (may vary)Not fixed; check your “Beneficiary Status” on the official NSMNY portal

Each instalment is commonly described as a ₹2,000 DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) credit to your Aadhaar-linked bank account. The exact release month can change, so treat any “expected month” as indicative and confirm your latest credit on the official NSMNY portal’s Beneficiary Status page.

  • e-KYC pending: your verification may be incomplete.
  • Aadhaar mismatch: name/date of birth differences can block validation.
  • Bank account inactive: dormant/closed accounts may reject credits.
  • Aadhaar not linked correctly: linking issues can delay DBT.
  • Error codes shown: use “Undisbursed Fund Error code details” to troubleshoot.

What to do if your name is not in the Namo Shetkari Yojana beneficiary list

If your name is missing from the Namo Shetkari Yojana beneficiary list, it usually means either your record is not mapped yet, or there is a validation mismatch (Aadhaar, bank, land record, or e-KYC). Use the official NSMNY portal’s Beneficiary Status option as your first check.

  • Re-check your search filters: select the correct district, taluka, and village before concluding your name is missing.
  • Verify your PM-KISAN status (if you are enrolled), because NSMNY eligibility is often aligned to similar DBT readiness norms.
  • Complete Aadhaar e-KYC wherever pending, and ensure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is active for OTP verification.
  • Confirm Aadhaar-bank linking: your Aadhaar should be linked to the same bank account where you expect the DBT credit.
  • Check bank details for errors: account number, IFSC, and name spelling should match your bank records.
  • Match your name and Aadhaar details across documents to avoid mismatch rejections.
  • Verify land/record details used for farmer identification, as data gaps can block beneficiary mapping.
  • Look for “undisbursed fund” or error codes on the official portal and follow the corrective action shown.
  • Raise a grievance only through official channels mentioned on the NSMNY portal or local agriculture office.
  • Do not share Aadhaar on unofficial sites or with unknown callers; use only official portals and offices.

If your status still does not update after corrections, submit a written request through the official support route and keep a copy of your acknowledgement for follow-up.
