AI SummaryTelangana government's Rythu Bharosa scheme is the new name of the farmer investment support program that was earlier known as Rythu Bandhu. Under the scheme, eligible farmers get Rs. 12,000 per acre per year, paid as Rs. 6,000 per acre for each Kharif and Rabi season.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy released the first tranche of Rs. 3,590 crore on 22 March 2026, crediting Rs. 6,000 directly to nearly 70 lakh farmers. The Rabi installment for 2026 is expected to be credited around August to September 2026. Farmers can check their application status and beneficiary list through the official website from home.
Rythu Bharosa Scheme 2026
Rythu Bharosa covers landowners whose cultivable land is recorded in the Bhu Bharati land records system. Tenant farmers with a registered lease deed, joint landowners and even urban residents who own agricultural land can get the benefit. Payment is made through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank account of the eligible farmer.
The scheme was renamed and restructured as Rythu Bharosa in January 2025. The old Rythu Bandhu portal now redirects to the new official website rythubharosa.telangana.gov.in. For the 2025-26 financial year, the state government made a budget provision of Rs. 18,000 crore for the scheme.
Apply Online and Check Payment Status
Farmers do not need to submit a fresh application form every season because the scheme works on the basis of land records in Bhu Bharati. The application window for the 2026 cycle was open until 25 March 2026 at local Rythu Vedika centres. Application dates for the next cycle will be announced on the official portal.
