Uttarakhand Farmer Pension Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Uttarakhand Farmer Pension Scheme, also known as the Uttarakhand Kisan Pension Yojana, is a welfare scheme launched by the Government of Uttarakhand in 2014. It aims to provide financial support to elderly farmers who continue to engage in agricultural activities. The Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttarakhand, implements the scheme alongside other pensions such as the Old Age Pension Scheme. Eligible farmers receive a monthly pension of ₹1,200 to help them manage their daily expenses and meet their basic needs.

Farmers residing in Uttarakhand who are above 60 years of age can apply for the Uttarakhand Farmer Pension Scheme. Applicants must personally cultivate agricultural land measuring up to 2 hectares. Eligible tenant farmers may also qualify if they hold a valid agricultural lease and cultivate the leased land themselves. The department does not impose a specific income limit under the scheme. However, applicants must meet the prescribed eligibility conditions and submit the required documents for verification.

Eligible farmers can apply for the Uttarakhand Kisan Pension Yojana through the Uttarakhand Social Security Pension Portal. They can also follow the prescribed departmental application process. Applicants must provide their Aadhaar card, bank account details, certified land records, land certificate and an affidavit confirming personal cultivation, as applicable. The concerned authorities verify the application before approving the pension. Applicants can also use the online portal to check their application status.

In an important budget update, the Uttarakhand Supplementary Budget for the financial year 2026–27 includes a provision of ₹9 crore for the Kisan Pension Yojana. This allocation provides additional budgetary support for the scheme. However, it does not automatically increase the monthly pension amount or change the eligibility conditions. The existing pension amount remains ₹1,200 per month unless the government announces a revision through an official order. Farmers should check the Uttarakhand Budget Directorate and the Social Welfare Department website for official announcements and further updates.
