Good news is here for farmers who applied for the wheat subsidy program but didn’t have a Kisan Card. The government has now issued pay orders for these farmers, ensuring that they too can benefit from the support. If you applied online but didn’t yet receive any financial help, this update could be just what you’ve been waiting for.
Farmers across many districts are beginning to see results from their applications. These newly issued pay orders will soon be available for collection at local Agriculture Department offices. This step is part of a broader move to support more farmers, especially those who missed out earlier due to not having a Kisan Card.
Who Is Eligible?
This new development applies to farmers—both landowners and tenants—who filled out the wheat subsidy application online but didn’t have an official Kisan Card. Whether you own land or cultivate it on lease, if you registered through the proper online system, your pay order may already be on the way.
While it’s still unclear whether all tenant farmers will be included, the current wave of distributions suggests that many different types of applicants are being considered. If you’re unsure of your status, it’s best to stay alert and wait for official communication from your local office.
How Will You Know When to Collect It?
Once your pay order reaches the Agriculture Office in your area, the staff will contact you directly. You’ll receive a phone call with instructions about when and where to come for collection. Make sure your phone is active and that you haven’t changed your number since applying.
If you miss a call or haven’t received one yet, don’t worry—distribution is happening in phases. Just be patient, and keep an eye on any updates from your local Agriculture Department.
What Do You Need to Bring?
When it’s time to collect your pay order, you’ll need to carry some important documents with you:
-
Your original CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
-
A copy of your online application, if available
-
Land ownership or lease documents (if applicable)
These documents help the officials confirm your identity and verify your eligibility, so make sure everything is accurate and up to date.
How to Collect Your Subsidy Amount
After collecting your pay order from the Agriculture Office, the next step is to visit the nearest Bank of Punjab (BOP) branch. There, you’ll need to:
-
Present your pay order and documents
-
Submit them to the bank officer
-
Receive your wheat subsidy cash amount
The process is designed to be simple, but having all your paperwork in order will make things even smoother.

What About Farmers Who Already Had Kisan Cards?
Those who already owned a Kisan Card received their wheat subsidy earlier—typically Rs. 5,000 per acre. This new distribution is for those who applied without the card but were still eligible under the support program. It’s a welcome move that ensures no farmer is left behind just because of a missing card.
Still Waiting? Don’t Panic
Many farmers are still waiting for their call or message from the Agriculture Office. This is normal, as the distribution is being done in stages. If you applied correctly, your turn will come. Just keep your phone nearby and stay connected to your local Agriculture Office for updates.
Final Thoughts
This step to issue pay orders for farmers without Kisan Cards is a major relief for thousands who were previously left uncertain. By recognizing the efforts and needs of all types of farmers, the government is showing its commitment to fair support and food security.
So, if you applied online for the wheat subsidy and haven’t heard anything yet, now is the time to stay alert. Help is finally on the way—just make sure you’re ready to receive it.
