उदाThis page is based on information publicly available on the Bihar Agriculture Department DBT portal as of November 2026. Subsidy rates, live schemes and deadlines change — check dbtagriculture.bihar.gov.in for current details before applying.
The Bihar Agriculture Department's DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) portal is where farmers register and apply for the department's subsidy schemes. It carries information on agricultural mechanisation (subsidy on farm machinery), diesel subsidy and the Krishi Input Subsidy. For farmers in the Kosi region, the input subsidy that follows floods or natural calamities is especially relevant.
How to register as a farmer
- On the portal, choose the "Farmer Registration" option
- Enter your Aadhaar number — Aadhaar is stated to be mandatory for all the department's subsidy schemes
- Fill in the details, upload the documents and submit
- You can also register at a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC)
Documents you need
- Aadhaar card
- Bank passbook (with IFSC code)
- Land documents (khatian / proof of land ownership)
- Aadhaar-linked mobile number
How to check registration status
Use the "Registration Status" section on the portal with your registration ID, Aadhaar or mobile number.
Schemes the portal covers
- Agricultural mechanisation: the portal mentions subsidy on farm machinery (40% to 80% per the portal). The exact subsidy depends on the machine and your category — see the portal's scheme list.
- Krishi Input Subsidy: input support linked to crop loss from natural calamities or weather. Application is through the "Apply Online" option on the portal, but check the current season's rules there.
- Diesel subsidy: the application option appears on the portal when the scheme is running.
The bottom line
Complete registration once so you can apply the moment a scheme opens. For central schemes see the PM Kisan guide, for crop protection the crop insurance guide, and try the scheme checker.
