Agri Schemes Calendar 2027: Every Deadline in One Place

Quick answer: The key agriculture scheme dates for 2027 are: PMFBY rabi cut-off on 31 December 2026, rabi procurement registration from January to March, Union Budget on 1 February, PM-KUSUM completion deadline on 31 March, wheat procurement from March to June, kharif MSP around May or June, PMFBY kharif cut-off usually 31 July, and rabi MSP around October.

Key Takeaways

• PM-Kisan pays in three windows: April to July, August to November and December to March. Expect three installments in 2027.
• PMFBY cut-offs are usually 31 July for kharif and 31 December for rabi, but state notifications decide the final date.
• Register for wheat, gram, mustard and masur procurement between January and March to sell at MSP from March onward.
• PM-KUSUM projects with PPAs issued by 31 December 2025 must be completed by 31 March 2027.
• KCC short-term loans up to ₹3 lakh carry 7% interest, falling to 4% with timely repayment under MISS.
• Dates marked expected are based on past patterns, not official notices, and will be updated when announced.

Why an agriculture schemes calendar matters

Most farmers lose scheme benefits not because they are ineligible, but because they miss a date. Crop insurance closes before sowing ends, procurement registration closes before harvest, and PM-Kisan holds payments if eKYC lapses before a release.

This calendar puts the main central scheme dates for 2027 in one place, in the order they come. Dates that are fixed by rule are stated as such. Dates that depend on a government announcement are marked expected, based on how they fell in 2025 and 2026. State schemes and state-specific cut-offs can differ, so always confirm with your district agriculture office.

Agriculture schemes 2027: month-wise calendar

Here is the full year at a glance. Use it to plan documents, visits to the bank or CSC, and sowing and selling decisions.

Before 2027 starts: deadlines left in 2026

Three things fall in the last quarter of 2026 and roll straight into the 2027 plan. Handle them now so you enter the new year clean.

• PM-Kisan 24th installment: due in the August to November 2026 window and not yet released as of 24 September 2026. Check eKYC and land seeding now.
• Rabi MSP for marketing season 2027-28: expected in October 2026. This is the price for wheat, gram, mustard and masur you sell in 2027.
• PMFBY rabi 2026-27: cut-off is 31 December 2026 in most states. Enroll right after sowing.

PM-Kisan dates in 2027

PM-Kisan pays ₹2,000 in each of three four-month periods, so three installments are expected in 2027. The exact release dates are announced by the Ministry of Agriculture a few days before each release.

Before each window, confirm on pmkisan.gov.in that eKYC, land seeding and Aadhaar bank seeding show Yes. In states where the AgriStack Farmer Registry is live, keep your Farmer ID ready as well.

Crop insurance (PMFBY) deadlines in 2027

PMFBY has two main enrollment deadlines each year: usually 31 July for kharif and 31 December for rabi. States can set different dates by crop, and the state notification is final.

• Watch for your state's kharif 2027 notification in May or June and the rabi 2027-28 notification in October or November.
• If you have a KCC loan and do not want insurance, give a written opt-out to your bank at least 7 days before the cut-off.
• If you change crops, inform your bank or insurer at least 2 days before the cut-off.
• Enroll non-loanee crops on pmfby.gov.in or at a CSC, and keep the receipt.
• Report hail, inundation, lightning fire or wild animal damage (where notified) within 72 hours on the Crop Insurance App or helpline 14447.

From Kharif 2026, wild animal attack and paddy inundation were added as localised risks in notified areas, so check whether your state covers them in 2027.

MSP announcements and procurement registration

MSP is announced twice a year: kharif MSP around May or June and rabi MSP around October. Selling at MSP, however, needs registration on your state portal weeks before harvest.

• Rabi procurement registration: usually January to March 2027 for wheat, gram, mustard and masur, on portals such as e-Uparjan (MP) and Meri Fasal Mera Byora (Haryana).
• Wheat procurement: usually mid-March to June, depending on the state. In 2026, wheat MSP was ₹2,585 per quintal.
• Pulses: under the Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses (2025-26 to 2030-31), NAFED and NCCF are to procure tur, urad and masur from registered farmers in participating states for four years, as per the Cabinet decision on the pulses mission.
• Kharif procurement of paddy usually starts in October in north India, with registration a few weeks earlier.

Credit and solar pump deadlines

Two money-related dates matter every year: Kisan Credit Card repayment and the financial year end on 31 March. In 2027, PM-KUSUM adds a specific 31 March deadline.

Kisan Credit Card

Under the Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS), short-term crop loans up to ₹3 lakh through KCC carry 7% interest. Farmers who repay on time get up to 3% prompt repayment incentive, bringing the effective rate to 4%, as per the Cabinet decision on MISS in May 2025. Repay or renew each crop loan within its due date, generally within a year, to keep the 4% rate.

PM-KUSUM solar pumps

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy extended the completion deadline for PM-KUSUM projects to 31 March 2027, but only for projects whose power purchase agreements were issued on or before 31 December 2025. If you have a sanctioned solar pump or feeder project, push your installer and discom to complete it before this date.

Other schemes to watch in 2027

Several schemes do not have a single national deadline but open windows through the year. These are worth tracking through your block agriculture office.

Season-wise farm tasks that match scheme dates

Scheme dates line up with the crop season, so plan farm work and paperwork together. Doing both in the same trip to the block office saves time.

• April to June: take soil samples after rabi harvest and get Soil Health Card advice before kharif.
• June to July: enroll kharif crops in PMFBY right after sowing and treat seed with a Trichoderma viride biofungicide to reduce seedling diseases, following label advice.
• October to November: avoid burning paddy straw; a crop residue decomposer culture can help break it down in the field before rabi sowing.
• November to December: sow wheat on time with balanced basal nutrition, for example a wheat soil nutrition kit, and enroll the crop in PMFBY before 31 December.
• January to March: register for procurement and keep grain quality in mind for MSP sale.

FPOs can turn this calendar into a member service: one camp for PMFBY, one for procurement registration and one for PM-Kisan eKYC each season. Dealers can plan stock of seed treatment and basal inputs around the same months.

What to do next

Save or print this calendar and mark the fixed dates: 31 December 2026 for PMFBY rabi, 1 February 2027 for the Budget, 31 March 2027 for PM-KUSUM and the usual 31 July 2027 for PMFBY kharif. Keep Aadhaar, land records, Farmer ID and an Aadhaar-seeded bank account up to date, because nearly every scheme checks the same four things.
