Two paddy farmers in Guntur, same village, same 3-acre landholding. One received ₹6,667 on Ugadi this year — his third installment under the renamed scheme. The other received nothing, simply because he never updated his registration after the scheme’s name and amount changed in 2024.
Annadata Sukhibhava (అన్నదాత సుఖీభవ — “May the Farmer Prosper”) — the Telugu Desam Party government’s flagship farmer income support scheme, launched June 2024, replacing the earlier YSR Rythu Bharosa. Provides ₹20,000 per year per farmer family, combining central PM-Kisan funds with additional state government support, disbursed in 3 installments.

⭐ Rythu Bharosa → Annadata Sukhibhava — Name Change Explained
The most common source of farmer confusion, resolved:
| YSR Rythu Bharosa | Annadata Sukhibhava | |
|---|---|---|
| Government | YSRCP (Jagan era) | TDP (Chandrababu, 2024 onward) |
| Amount | ₹13,500/year | ₹20,000/year |
| Portal | Old portal | annadathasukhibhava.ap.gov.in |
| PM-Kisan link | Partial | Fully integrated |
| Since | 2019 | June 2024 |
Same underlying scheme — new government, new name, higher amount. If you previously received Rythu Bharosa, you need to confirm your registration carried over correctly under the new system.
₹20,000 — Where Does It Come From?
Most other sources don’t explain this breakdown clearly:
| Source | Amount | Structure |
|---|---|---|
| PM-Kisan (Central) | ₹6,000/year | 3 installments of ₹2,000 |
| AP State Government | ₹14,000/year | 3 installments |
| Total | ₹20,000/year | 3 combined installments |
2025-26 Installment Schedule:
| Installment | Approx. Amount | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | ~₹6,667 | Kharif season |
| 2nd | ~₹6,667 | Rabi season |
| 3rd | ~₹6,667 | March 13, 2026 (Ugadi) — Released ✅ |
Eligibility
| Eligible | Not Eligible |
|---|---|
| AP resident farmers | Government employees |
| Landowners OR tenant farmers | Income tax payers |

Tenant farmers are explicitly eligible — a detail many farmers miss, assuming only landowners qualify.

Step 4: Fill the Captcha → Click “Submit”
Step 5: Your status screen displays:
- Beneficiary name, District, Mandal, Village
- Eligibility status
- eKYC completion status
- Payment details — installment-wise
- Bank account and credited amount
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible — Payment Credited | Amount successfully sent | Verify in your bank account |

Beneficiary List — Checking Your Village/Ward
Step 1: annadathasukhibhava.ap.gov.in → “Beneficiary List”
Step 2: Select District → Mandal → Village/Ward
Step 3: Click Submit → List displays/downloads
This is different from your individual status check — the Beneficiary List shows everyone approved in your specific area, useful for cross-verification if your individual status seems off.
New Registration — Step by Step
Step 1: annadathasukhibhava.ap.gov.in → “New Registration”
Step 2: Enter mobile number → verify via OTP
Step 3: Enter Aadhaar number (farmer/head of family)
Step 4: Details auto-fill from Aadhaar — verify name, DOB, and address
Step 5: Enter land details:
- Survey/Khasra number
- Pattadar Passbook details
- Crop details
Step 6: Provide bank account details (must be Aadhaar-linked)
Step 7: Submit → Note your Application Number for future tracking
⭐ “NPCI Link Inactive” — The Most Common Payment Blocker
NPCI = National Payments Corporation of India. Your Aadhaar must be linked to your bank account through the NPCI mapper for any DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) payment to go through. NPCI Link Inactive means your payment is blocked — the money simply has nowhere valid to go, even if your application is fully approved.
How to fix it:
Step 1: Visit any branch of the bank where your account is held
Step 2: Request the “NPCI Mapper” / “Aadhaar Seeding” form
Step 3: Submit your Aadhaar copy and bank passbook
Step 4: Processing typically takes 2-3 days
Step 5: Recheck your status on the portal afterward
Alternatively, the Raithu Seva Kendra has a dedicated NPCI-fix helpdesk if you’d prefer in-person assistance.
Raithu Seva Kendra — Offline Help
Raithu Seva Kendra (రైతు సేవా కేంద్రం) — AP government’s dedicated farmer service centre, available at every Mandal level. Services offered: Registration, eKYC completion, grievance filing, NPCI fixes, status checks. Village Secretariats also offer Annadata Sukhibhava-related services if a Raithu Seva Kendra isn’t conveniently located.
⭐ Don’t Confuse With PM-Kisan’s Own Beneficiary List
PM-Kisan (the central scheme) maintains its own separate beneficiary list at pmkisan.gov.in — this is distinct from the Annadata Sukhibhava beneficiary list, even though PM-Kisan funds are part of your ₹20,000. If you want to check your PM-Kisan-specific status (separate from the AP state portal), see our PM-Kisan Status Check guide.
Common Problems + Fix

The farmer who updated his registration after the name change received his full ₹20,000 across three installments. His neighbour, who assumed the old Rythu Bharosa registration would simply continue automatically, is still working through the re-registration process.
If you previously received YSR Rythu Bharosa and haven’t actively confirmed your status under Annadata Sukhibhava — check now at annadathasukhibhava.ap.gov.in. The name changed, the amount increased, but the registration didn’t carry over automatically for everyone.
