Bihar Krishi Yantrikaran Yojana 2026 is the scheme many Bihar farmers are searching for right now, and this article is a complete list-check guide for it. In this guide, you will understand what the scheme is, which machines are covered, where and how to check the verified applicant list, what to do after your name appears in the list, and what to do if your name does not appear. Every step is explained in simple language so that any farmer can check his or her own status without depending on rumours or middlemen.
Modern farm machinery has become a necessity in farming, not a luxury. When ploughing, sowing, harvesting and post-harvest work are completed on time, it directly affects both crop yield and the income of the farmer. But machines such as tractors, power tillers and combine harvesters are not easy for every farmer to buy from his own pocket. Keeping this problem in mind, the government has created a system to help farmers buy machinery, and the purpose of this article is to help you understand the correct path to that help, without falling into the trap of fake links and false claims.
After reading this guide, three things will become completely clear to you. First, where the verified applicant list can be seen, both online and offline. Second, what the full process is after your name appears, from buying the machine to receiving the subsidy. Third, what the right steps are if your name is missing from the list, instead of panicking or paying someone who promises to fix it. So read this article from start to finish, and always cross-check anything important on the official portal.

What Is Bihar Krishi Yantrikaran Yojana 2026
Bihar Krishi Yantrikaran Yojana 2026-27 is run under the central Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) and is implemented in Bihar by the Bihar Agriculture Department. Its direct goal is to bring modern farm machinery to farmers so that farming work becomes faster, cheaper and easier. A total approval of Rs 236.58 crore has been given for the scheme, including its implementation and administrative costs. This amount shows that the scheme is not a small pilot project, but a large programme running across the whole state.
A total of 86 types of machines are covered under the scheme. These include tractors, power tillers, cultivators, seed drills, happy seeders, combine harvesters, threshers, reapers, mulchers, shredders, straw reapers, spray machines, pump sets and drones. This list is important because it covers every stage of farming, from ploughing and sowing to harvesting, spraying and post-harvest work. A farmer can choose a machine according to his need, but the subsidy and selection rules of the scheme will apply.
Apart from individual machines, the scheme also promotes hiring centres so that farmers who cannot buy their own machine can still use modern equipment on rent. Under this, 480 Kisan Drone Custom Hiring Centres, 267 Custom Hiring Centres and 38 Krishi Yantra Banks are being set up. This means that even a small farmer can hire a machine from a nearby centre. A separate subsidy arrangement has been reported for drone centres, and its details are given below. The whole arrangement is a big step towards modernising farming in Bihar.
How Much Subsidy Will You Get: Full Details
Under the scheme, subsidy on machines ranges from 40 percent to 80 percent. The exact rate depends on the type of machine and the category of the applicant, so one single rate does not apply to every farmer. That is why it was important to read the official information before applying, and even now, after selection, you should carefully check the rate applicable to your machine in your permit or list details. Do not trust a subsidy figure told to you by an unknown person.
For custom hiring centres, subsidy can go up to 80 percent for eligible groups. For Kisan Drone Custom Hiring Centres, as reported by Kisan Samadhan, agriculture graduates get up to 50 percent subsidy, with a maximum limit of Rs 5 lakh. For other eligible applicants, the rate is 40 percent, with a maximum limit of Rs 4 lakh. This difference matters a lot, because anyone planning to open a drone centre should estimate the amount only according to his own category.
One thing must always be remembered: the subsidy is not given before buying the machine. First the farmer has to buy the machine at its full price, then verification is completed, and only then is the subsidy sent by DBT to the registered bank account. So before buying the machine, arrange the full amount in advance. If anyone says that the subsidy will come first, or that the machine will be available at half price, check that claim on the official portal before believing it.
How Selection Is Done: Online Lottery
Selection under the scheme is done through an online lottery from verified applications. This means that merely filling in an application was not enough; the application also had to be verified. The verified applicant list is the real basis of selection, and checking your name in that list is the main subject of this article. The lottery system has been adopted so that selection remains transparent and every eligible farmer gets an equal chance.
Selected farmers are given a permit. According to a report by Krishak Jagat, selected farmers get 15 days to buy the machine. This information is given here on the basis of that report, and it has not been verified as an official rule, so treat the time limit written on your own permit as final. Do not delay after receiving the permit, because once the time limit passes, the opportunity may be lost. Read every condition on the permit carefully and proceed accordingly.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Check the List Online
After a review meeting chaired by Agriculture Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha in October 2026, it came to light that the verified applicant lists are displayed on the official agriculture portal (OFMAS). This information is also corroborated by reporting from TractorJunction, Kisan Samadhan and CMV360. To check the list online, follow the steps below:
- Go to the official portal of the Bihar Agriculture Department. Do not enter your personal details after clicking an unknown link or a link found on social media.
- On the portal, look for the section or list related to Bihar Krishi Yantrikaran Yojana 2026-27.
- Select your district, block and panchayat, as asked on the portal.
- Enter your name, application number or other details asked for, carefully, and open the list.
- Match your name, the name of the machine selected, and your category details carefully in the list. If everything looks correct, keep a screenshot or printout safely with you.
- If you see any mistake in the list, such as a spelling error in your name or a wrong machine name, note it down at once and prepare to contact the concerned office.
While checking the list online, remember one special point: the exact deep link of the list is not given in this article because it could not be verified. Always proceed from the main page of the official portal of the Bihar Agriculture Department. Be careful of any website or person who sends you to a different link and asks for an application or a fee.
Step-by-Step Guide: Where to Check the List Offline
Not every farmer has a smartphone or internet access, so the verified list is also displayed at three physical locations. This is the most useful part of this guide, because competitor websites do not give this offline information completely. You can also check your name by visiting the nearest location:
- Joint Agriculture Building complex: Find your name in the list displayed here, according to your district and block. Going in the morning is better, so that the crowd is smaller and you get time to ask officials your questions.
- Block Office complex: Check the list displayed at your block office. Here you can easily see the list of farmers of your block, and ask the concerned staff if you have any doubt.
- Panchayat Krishi Bhavan complex: The list at the Krishi Bhavan of your panchayat is the nearest option. For village farmers, this is the easiest place, because there is no need to travel far.
When you go to check the offline list, carry your application details with you, such as your application number, your full name and the name of the machine selected. If you find your name in the list, take a photo of it on your mobile or write down the details, so that there is no problem in the next steps. If your name is written with a different spelling in the list, note that too, because the same details will be useful in later verification.
After Your Name Appears: The Full Flow Up to DBT
Finding your name in the list means that you have moved ahead in the selection process, but the subsidy has not yet been received. The further process is given below; understand it carefully:
- Get the permit: Selected farmers are given a permit. Read the machine, category and time limit written on your permit carefully.
- Buy the machine at full price: Buy the machine at its full price, as per the permit. Keep the bill and all papers related to the machine safely, because they will be needed in verification.
- Complete verification: After buying the machine, complete the prescribed verification process. Without verification, the subsidy will not move forward.
- Receive subsidy by DBT: After verification is complete, the subsidy is sent by DBT to your registered bank account. So make sure that your bank account is active and that its details match the details given in the application.
- Keep checking your bank account: After verification, keep an eye on your bank account details. If the amount does not arrive for a long time, contact the concerned office with your application details.
The biggest mistake in this whole flow is when a farmer buys a machine on credit or without a bill, hoping for the subsidy. Do not do that. Always buy the machine written in the permit, from an authorised dealer, with a proper bill. Keep the bill, the machine details and your permit together in one file.
Eligibility and Documents: Only Verified Information
In this article, only verified information is given about eligibility and documents. No document list has been invented here, because a wrong document list can harm farmers. The points that are verified are as follows: the application must be verified, selection is done by online lottery, the selected farmer gets a permit, the machine has to be bought at full price, after verification the subsidy comes by DBT to the registered bank account, and for drone centres, different subsidy rates and limits are fixed for agriculture graduates and other eligible applicants.
For the complete and final list of documents, please get information only from the official portal of the Bihar Agriculture Department or from your block office. Also keep copies of the documents that were given at the time of application, because they may be needed at the time of verification. Do not give your original documents to any agent, and do not pay any fee in the name of documents.
What to Do If Your Name Is Missing From the List
Not finding your name can be disappointing, but it does not mean that you did something wrong. In a lottery system, selection is limited in number, so it is not necessary that every verified applicant gets selected. In such a situation, take the steps below:
- Check again carefully: First check your name again in the online list, and then in the offline list. Sometimes a name does not appear because of a small spelling difference or a wrong block selection.
- Match your verification details: Check whether your application was verified or not. Only verified applications are included in the lottery.
- Ask at the block office: Go to your block office or Panchayat Krishi Bhavan and politely ask about the status of your application, and take further instructions from there.
- Stay away from rumours: If any person says that he will add your name for money, that is completely wrong. Stay away from such people and complain about them to the concerned office.
- Watch for further information: Keep an eye on further announcements on the official portal of the Bihar Agriculture Department. Information about the next phase or the next year will come from there, not from any unknown website.
This section is important because competitor websites write almost nothing on it. They only describe the scheme, but they do not help the farmer whose name did not appear in the list. The purpose of this guide is that every farmer, whether his name appears or not, should know the correct next path.
Stay Safe From Fraud
With every popular scheme, the risk of fraud also comes attached. Some people ask farmers for money, saying that they will get their name added to the list or get the subsidy faster. Do not believe any such claim. In a government scheme, selection is done by lottery and the subsidy comes directly to the bank account by DBT, so no middleman is needed. Never share your bank details, OTP or password with anyone. If you have any doubt, contact the block office or Krishi Bhavan directly.
