THE state government has simplified the registration process of farmers for paddy procurement in the 2025-26 kharif marketing season (KMS) by allowing them to submit a self-declaration form in place of a legal heir certificate.

Announcing this at a media conference here on Sunday, Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare minister Krushna Chandra Patra said the decision was taken to give relief to the farmers who are facing difficulties in arranging required documents for completing the registration process within the stipulated time.

Apart from land-related documents, farmers are required to submit a legal heir certificate or genealogy report. For sharecroppers, consent letters from the actual land owners are mandatory for registration.
