How to Check Namo Shetkari Yojana Beneficiary List 2026
There is no separate list on the state side for village wise names. Namo Shetkari runs on the PM Kisan database, so the village list on the PM Kisan portal is what decides who gets the state money as well. Follow these steps to see the names in your village.
STEP 1: Go to the PM Kisan website.
STEP 2: Under 'FARMERS CORNER', select 'Beneficiary List'.
STEP 3: Choose Maharashtra as your state, then pick your District, Sub-District, Block and Village from the drop down boxes one by one.
STEP 4: Click on "Get Report". A village wise list opens with serial number, farmer name and gender. Look for your name in it.
STEP 5: If your name shows in this list, you are counted for Namo Shetkari Yojana too. Next step is to open the state portal and see whether the installment was actually credited to you.
Check Payment Status on Namo Shetkari Portal
Being on the list and being paid are two different things. State portal shows the money side, installment by installment, with the date each amount went out.
STEP 1: Visit the Namo Shetkari Official Website.
STEP 2: Click on 'Beneficiary Status' shown on the homepage.
STEP 3: Enter your Registration Number or the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, fill the captcha, and get the OTP. Type the OTP to open your full installment history.

Installment History of Namo Shetkari Yojana
First five installments went out along with PM Kisan on the same day, between October 2023 and October 2024. That link broke from the 7th installment onwards, and since then the state has been releasing its share separately, often months later. Recent rounds look like this:
| Installment | When Paid | Amount and Farmers |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 27 October 2023, Shirdi | ₹1,712 crore to 85.60 lakh farmers |
| 5th | 5 October 2024, Washim | Paid with PM Kisan 18th installment |
| 6th | March 2025 | ₹2,169 crore to 93.26 lakh farmers |
| 7th | 9 September 2025 | ₹1,892.61 crore to 91.65 lakh farmers |
| 8th | Last week of March 2026 | ₹1,774 crore to 89.75 lakh farmers |
| 9th | Not announced | Covers December 2025 to March 2026 |
Number of names in the list has been shrinking, from 93.26 lakh in the 6th installment to 89.75 lakh in the 8th. Reason is tighter checking of land records and eKYC, which has knocked out entries that did not match. So a farmer who was paid two years ago should still check the current list rather than assume the name is safe.

Benefits of Namo Shetkari Yojana
Main point of this scheme is to put cash in a farmer's hand at the start of a season, when seed and fertiliser have to be bought. What it gives:
- ₹12,000 a year in total, counting ₹6,000 from PM Kisan and ₹6,000 from the Maharashtra government.
- ₹2,000 credited straight to the Aadhaar seeded bank account, with no office visit and no middleman.
- No separate application, no fee and no renewal, because the PM Kisan record is used as it is.
- Payment history is visible online, so a farmer can prove what was received and when.
Eligibility Criteria
Rules are the same as PM Kisan, with the added condition of being in Maharashtra. A farmer who is out of the central list is out of the state one too.
- Must be a resident of Maharashtra with cultivable land in the family name in state land records.
- Must be registered and approved under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
- Must have completed eKYC and have a bank account seeded with Aadhaar and switched on for DBT.
- Must not fall in the excluded groups, which cover income tax payers, serving and retired government staff, holders of constitutional posts, and institutional land holders.
Size of the holding does not matter any more. Earlier reporting often described this as a small and marginal farmer scheme, but the benefit now goes to every eligible land holding family that clears the PM Kisan checks.
Documents Needed
Since there is no separate form for Namo Shetkari, these papers are needed only at the PM Kisan registration stage, or later when a rejected entry has to be corrected at the tehsil office.
- Aadhaar card, linked with an active mobile number for OTP
- Land ownership proof such as the 7/12 extract and 8-A
- Proof of residence in Maharashtra
- Bank passbook copy with the IFSC code
- PM Kisan registration number, for anyone already enrolled

FAQ's
Name is in the PM Kisan list but Namo Shetkari money never came, why?
Being on the central list is the first condition, not the only one. State payment also needs your land record entry to be verified in Maharashtra records and your bank account to be NPCI mapped for DBT. Open the state portal, read the reason line on your status page, then take that reason to the tehsil office or your bank.
Is there a separate beneficiary list on the state website?
No village wise name list is published on nsmny.mahait.org. State portal only shows individual status after OTP login. For a village level list, the PM Kisan beneficiary list is the one to use, since the state scheme draws from the same records.
Name was in the old list but has dropped out now, what should be done?
Names drop mostly after land record checking or an incomplete eKYC. Finish eKYC on pmkisan.gov.in first, then get the 7/12 entry matched with your Aadhaar name at the talathi office. Once corrected, pending amounts are usually cleared with the next payment cycle.
Can a farmer apply directly for Namo Shetkari Yojana?
There is no direct application. Register under PM Kisan at pmkisan.gov.in or through a CSC centre, and the state scheme picks you up automatically once your record is approved for Maharashtra. Anyone asking for a fee to enrol you in Namo Shetkari is cheating you.
Do both payments come on the same day?
Not any more. Until the 6th installment both amounts landed together. From the 7th onwards the state has been paying weeks or months after PM Kisan, so seeing ₹2,000 from the centre without the state ₹2,000 is normal now.
Contact and Help
For scheme related problems, farmers should use the contact details listed on the official portal nsmny.mahait.org, or visit the taluka agriculture office, where a separate PM Kisan and Namo Shetkari desk handles pending and rejected cases. For eKYC, Aadhaar seeding and other central side problems, the PM Kisan helpline numbers are 155261 and 1800-11-5526.
