About Us
About Us was reviewed on 6 August 2026 against the site’s actual behaviour and editorial scope.
1) Who we are
Kisaan Samman is an independent information website that explains Indian government schemes and citizen services in plain language. It is not an official wing of a Ministry, Department, Commission, bank or State Government. The site helps readers find the competent official destination and understand eligibility context, documents and status terminology; it does not approve applications or distribute benefits.
This About Us section is not a generic scheme eligibility/apply template; it is limited to “Who we are”, with the competent authority’s current rules governing any official action.
2) Editorial standard
Guides prefer primary Government or regulated sources. A dynamic amount, deadline, State eligibility rule, interest rate or portal workflow is described as all-India fixed only when the competent source says so. State-controlled services remain labelled State-dependent and viral or social-media claims are not treated as proof.

3) Corrections and freshness
The 6 August 2026 site review targets duplicated templates, generic pension figures, mismatched FAQ markup, conflicting canonicals and English-localisation defects. If an official notification later changes, the latest official text takes priority. Readers should re-check the linked official notice immediately before an application.

4) What we do not do
Kisaan Samman does not submit government forms, collect Aadhaar OTP or bank PIN, promise guaranteed approval/loan/payment or appoint paid agents as Government representatives. A third party making such a claim is not authorised by this website.

5) Source transparency
Each scheme/service page identifies a primary official source suited to that topic: the responsible Ministry/portal for Central schemes, State authority or ServicePlus/e-District for local certificates, RBI/DFS/NPCI or regulated channels for financial services, and the competent commission/department for election or passport services.

6) Reader responsibility
Enter personal data only on the competent official portal. Verify names, dates of birth, bank/account/reference details and documents before submission. A Kisaan Samman summary is a convenience; the legally operative rule remains the applicable Act, notification, guideline or authority order.

Policy precedence
If About Us conflicts with applicable law or an official Government instruction, the law/official instruction takes precedence. Scheme guides on this site are informational.
8) Source-selection workflow
When a scheme guide is reviewed, the first question is which body is competent. A Central scheme points to the responsible Ministry or dedicated scheme portal; elections to ECI; Aadhaar to UIDAI; banking rules to RBI/DFS/NPCI; social pensions to NSAP plus the State authority; and citizen certificates to the State revenue/e-District/ServicePlus route. News or search results can aid discovery but the primary rule is checked against an official page or notification. This reduces the risk of copying one scheme template into an unrelated service and keeps the authority visible to the reader.
9) Page-intent policy
Multiple URLs about a topic are useful only when they answer different user intents. An overview, an application task, eKYC, beneficiary status and payment status are different jobs. Merely changing keywords while repeating the same body is not the editorial standard. The 2026 review applies this principle to overlapping PM-KISAN, PMFBY, PMJDY, KCC and certificate pages. Related guides can support one another, but each primary body should independently answer the question implied by its own URL.
10) Accuracy before a freshness label
Putting 2026 in a heading is not proof of accuracy. Freshness is meaningful only when the underlying official source is checked. Stable scheme facts, dynamic deadlines, interest rates, State amounts and application windows are therefore handled differently. A dynamic item directs the reader to the current notification; a current figure is stated only when supported by the responsible source. This creates clearer precedence for future rule changes than an unsupported “latest” label.
11) Language and accessibility
A Hindi guide may retain necessary official English terms such as registration number, status, DBT or eKYC, but it should still explain them clearly for a Hindi reader. The English section should not contain unrelated Hindi boilerplate. Headings and links should be meaningful, navigation should remain keyboard-usable and important information should not depend only on colour or an icon. Editorial clarity is primarily about task completion, not keyword density.
12) Trust and correction culture
An independent site should not imitate official authority. Readers must be able to see that a benefit, sanction, certificate or payment is decided by the competent Government or institution. A factual correction should be judged on official evidence, not popularity. Sensitive beneficiary details are unnecessary in an editorial correction report. Long-term trust depends on revising a claim when better primary evidence exists rather than defending stale wording.
Change-log discipline
A meaningful update is more than changing a year. Editorial work should identify the affected fact, source, page intent and user impact. Canonical or sitemap repairs are tracked separately from content claims, and a page URL should not change merely to appear fresh. Kisaan Samman prefers stable URLs with improved content and sources because unnecessary slug changes break bookmarks and historical references. A review date should be shown only after a review pass; a future date or fabricated publication history is not a trust signal.
Scope exclusions
The website is not a universal Government helpdesk. It cannot access an individual beneficiary database, bank ledger, police record, electoral backend or tax account. A guide can explain diagnostic checkpoints and the competent authority when a reader asks why a payment is missing, but it should never invent a personal backend status. Keeping a clear intent and primary source on each service page makes that limitation transparent while still giving the reader an actionable next step.
