₹10,000 Promised Every Year. He Didn’t Know How to Check If It Had Arrived.
Murshidabad’s Rahamat Ali — 3 acres of paddy land. Registered for Krishak Bandhu in 2021. Every June, ₹5,000 should arrive for Kharif season. Every November, ₹5,000 for Rabi.
But he never knew if it arrived — until his wife checked the bank passbook at the end of the month.
His neighbour showed him krishakbandhu.wb.gov.in — Rahamat typed his Voter ID number — the screen showed his last 4 installment payments, dates, and amounts. He saw that the June 2025 payment was late by 18 days. He also saw that his November 2025 payment hadn’t arrived.
One visit to the Block Agriculture Office with his printout — the issue was resolved. November payment came within 10 days.
