Farmers in Odisha can enrol by visiting their nearest bank branch, Common Service Centre (CSC), or through authorized insurance agents before the expected deadline of July 31, 2025. Those with Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans are automatically covered under the scheme, though they may opt out if they choose. Farmers should carry documents like Aadhaar, land records, bank passbook, and proof of sowing while registering. In previous years, Odisha has sometimes extended the deadline beyond July, so farmers are advised to stay in touch with local agriculture offices for updates.
