Krishak Bandhu Payment Status Check 2026: Find Payment Status Using KB ID, Aadhaar, Mobile or Bank Account

Where the payment result appears, what Transaction Success really means, how to confirm the money in the bank, and what to do when the instalment has not arrived.

For a Krishak Bandhu farmer, the question is simple: has this instalment been paid? The answer sits on the Agriculture Department’s website, but the page is easy to miss, the search options vary and the payment words are not explained anywhere in plain language.

This guide walks through the official payment check, explains what each status means, how to confirm the credit in the bank, lists the helpline and WhatsApp numbers reported so far, and marks the rename, rates and payment date that are still unsettled.

Krishak Bandhu Payment Status Check Starts on the State Portal’s Farmer Search Page

The place to check a Krishak Bandhu payment is the Agriculture Department’s own website, krishakbandhu.wb.gov.in. The section is labelled “Registered Farmer Information” (নথিভুক্ত কৃষকের তথ্য), and the page behind it is reported to be krishakbandhu.wb.gov.in/farmer_search. There is no village-wise list to scroll through. Each farmer searches for his or her own record.

Care is needed with the web address. Several look-alike sites rank for “Krishak Bandhu status check”, and one tracker warns that krishakbandhu.net is not a government site. Any address that does not end in .wb.gov.in should be treated as unofficial, and no genuine page asks for money to show a status.

Step-by-Step: How to Check Krishak Bandhu Payment Status Online

1. Open the official portal. Type krishakbandhu.wb.gov.in in the browser instead of following an advertisement or a forwarded link.
2. Choose Registered Farmer Information. This opens the farmer search page.
3. Pick a search type. Reports on the page list KB ID, Aadhaar number, Voter (EPIC) card, registered mobile number, bank account number and application acknowledgement number. Not every option may be active at all times.
4. Enter the number and the captcha. A single wrong digit returns “no record”, so the number should be typed slowly and checked against the card or passbook.
5. Press Search and read the result. The page shows the application stage and, where a payment has been made, the payment status. A screenshot with the date visible is worth keeping.

A farmer who has lost the KB ID can first retrieve it, as explained in the CoreSignal guide on how to find your Krishak Bandhu ID, and then use it here.

What “Approved”, “Pending” and “Payment Clear” Mean for the Money

These labels are described in third-party trackers rather than in an official guide, so the exact wording on screen may differ.

Why a Genuine Beneficiary May See “Pending” or No Record

A farmer who has been receiving money for years can still find the status stuck, and the reason is usually the statewide re-verification. According to CoreSignal’s earlier report on the payment list, existing beneficiaries were asked to submit a two-page Annexure-I form on paper at the Block Agriculture Officer’s office under a government order dated 3 July 2026, with KB ID, bank details, an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, land details and a declaration on PM-KISAN, income tax and government jobs. The original deadline of 30 July was extended, and a late-September notice gave pending farmers 10 more days.

Other common causes are a mismatch between the name on the Aadhaar and the bank passbook, a bank account not linked to Aadhaar, an old mobile number, and a recent application that has not reached the database yet. Only one beneficiary per family is allowed under the rules announced on 28 September, so a second family member’s record may be flagged.

The Rename, the Amounts and the Payment Date: What Is Reported and What Is Not Settled

Reports in the last fortnight say the Government of West Bengal has recast Krishak Bandhu as the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samman Nidhi. A third-party summary cites an Agriculture Department notice numbered 1128 dated 29 October 2026, but the notification itself could not be checked. The official portal’s About page still described the scheme under its older name when it was last read for this article.

Because the sources disagree on both the rate and the date, a farmer should treat the portal result and the bank SMS as the only proof of a payment, and should not rely on a date quoted in a video.

If the Farmer Also Gets PM-KISAN: Check Both Records

PM-KISAN is a central scheme with its own portal. Its beneficiaries can use “Know Your Status” on pmkisan.gov.in with the registration number, and should confirm that eKYC and bank details are complete. Under the rules reported on 28 September, a family cannot draw both PM-KISAN and the main Krishak Bandhu assistance, and the state’s ₹3,000 top-up is described as a separate payment for PM-KISAN farmers. Which record applies to which family should be confirmed at the block office.

Confirming the Payment on the Bank Side: SMS, Passbook and Mobile Banking

A “Transaction Success” line on the portal says the department has sent the instruction to the bank. It does not by itself prove that the amount has reached the farmer. The bank side can be checked in four ordinary ways:

• the SMS alert on the mobile number linked to the bank account;
• a passbook entry at the branch or a passbook-printing kiosk;
• mobile banking or the bank’s balance-enquiry facility;
• the bank’s statement, where the credit appears as a direct benefit transfer from the state government.

The account used must be the one on the farmer’s record. A farmer who changed banks after registering may find the credit sitting in an old account, and one whose account is not seeded for direct benefit transfer may see a failed or returned payment. The branch can say whether Aadhaar is mapped for DBT in that account.

Payment Shows Success but the Money Has Not Come: Where It Usually Goes Wrong

1. Re-check the bank account number on the record. The portal result and the passbook should show the same account, and a partly masked number should still match the last digits.
2. Visit the branch with the passbook and the screenshot. Banks can trace a direct benefit transfer that was returned, held or credited to another account of the same customer.
3. Ask whether the account is active. Dormant, closed or frozen accounts reject transfers, and a returned payment may need the bank details corrected on the record.
4. Go to the Block Agriculture Office. If the bank finds nothing wrong, the Assistant Director of Agriculture can raise the case with the department using the KB ID and the acknowledgement slip.
5. Call the helpline last, with the numbers ready. The KB ID, the date of the status page and the bank account details speed up any query.

How Often Krishak Bandhu Money Is Paid, and Why No Date Can Be Taken as Certain

Cultivation assistance is paid in two equal instalments tied to the Kharif and Rabi seasons. A third-party tracker says the last Rabi instalment went out on 8 January 2026, and no later instalment date has been confirmed by an official notice. The payment depends on the verification described earlier and on bank-level success, so a date quoted in a video or message group is not proof. Only the portal result and the bank SMS count.

Checking Payment Details on WhatsApp

The department’s WhatsApp service for payment details is reported as 9830383383, and the same number appears in CoreSignal’s earlier KB ID guide. The usual routine is to save the number, send “Hi” and answer the prompts. The prompts should be followed only as far as the chatbot asks for the KB ID or mobile number; Aadhaar OTPs, bank PINs or passwords are never requested in a genuine status check.

Krishak Bandhu Helpline Numbers and Contact Details Reported So Far

Different sources list different numbers, and none could be checked against a live official page. The list below shows where each one comes from.

For a record that needs correcting, the block office is the one place that can act. A farmer should carry the Aadhaar card, the first page of the bank passbook, the land record (RoR, patta or barga record), the acknowledgement slip from the Annexure-I submission and a screenshot of the status page.

Checking the Death Benefit Status for a Farmer’s Family

The ₹2 lakh death benefit has a separate route. The claim is filed with the Assistant Director of Agriculture, and district websites, Murshidabad among them, post lists of benefit payments by block office. The most recent Murshidabad list seen by CoreSignal covered 1 to 15 September 2025, so a family waiting on a newer claim may not find it online and should ask the block office for the claim number and stage.

Mistakes and Scams to Avoid While Checking Status

• Paying an agent, cyber cafe or “officer” to speed up approval. The scheme has no such fee.
• Opening links forwarded on WhatsApp that do not end in .wb.gov.in.
• Sharing an Aadhaar OTP, bank PIN or UPI PIN to “release” the instalment.
• Searching with a new mobile number that was never registered with the scheme.
• Assuming that a published date in a news video is official without seeing the bank SMS or portal result.
