Getting your Farmer ID (Kisan Pehchaan Patra) is actually quite simple, and you can do it yourself online or visit a center. Since the poster mentions "E-Mitra" and "Patwari," this process is specifically tailored for Rajasthan’s Farmer Registry (RajKisan) system. Here is the step-by-step guide to getting it done:
📋 Things You’ll Need (Keep these ready!)
Before you sit down at the computer or go to the shop for making your Farmer ID, make sure you have:
- Aadhaar Card: It must be linked to your active mobile number (for OTP).
- Jan Aadhaar Card: Essential for Rajasthan residents.
- Land Records (Jamabandi): You’ll need your Khata/Khasra numbers.
- Bank Passbook: To link your account for direct benefit transfers.
💻 Option 1: Doing it Yourself (Online)
If you are tech-savvy or have a youngster at home with a smartphone, follow these steps:
- Visit the Portal: Go to the official RajKisan Saathi portal or the Rajasthan Farmer Registry website.
- Login with Aadhaar/Jan Aadhaar: Use your Aadhaar number to log in. You will receive an OTP on your mobile. Enter it to verify.
- Fill Personal Details: Your name and photo will usually be pulled from Aadhaar. Fill in other details like your father's name, age, and address.
- Land Mapping ("Claim Land Buckets"): This is the most important part. The system will show land records linked to your name. You have to select (claim) the correct survey/khasra numbers that belong to you.
- e-KYC & e-Sign: The portal will ask for a final digital signature or another OTP to confirm that all information is true.
- Submit & Get ID: Once you submit, the application goes to the local official (Patwari) for digital verification. After approval, you can download your Unique Farmer ID.
🏪 Option 2: Through E-Mitra (The Easiest Way)
If you don't want the technical headache, this is the best route:
- Go to the Center: Take your Aadhaar, Jan Aadhaar, and a copy of your Jamabandi to the nearest E-Mitra.
- Biometric/OTP: The operator will put your thumb on the scanner or use an OTP to open your profile.
- Operator Entry: Tell them which land plots are yours. They will upload the details and "claim" the land on the portal for you.
- Receipt: Always take a printout of the application receipt.
- Verification: The Patwari will check the details online. Once they "green-signal" it, your ID is generated.
💡 Pro-Tips for Success in Making Farmer ID
- Name Match: Make sure the name on your Aadhaar matches the name in the land records. If there is a big spelling mistake, get it corrected first.
- Mobile Link: If your Aadhaar isn't linked to your mobile, go to an Aadhaar center first—without the OTP, the process won't move an inch!
- No Fees: Generally, for government registration, the fees are very nominal at E-Mitra. Don't pay extra "service charges" to anyone.
