The Madhya Pradesh government has widened the Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana for 2026, expanding price difference payments beyond soybean to include multiple crops. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announced the inclusion of mustard and paddy alongside soybean, ensuring farmers receive financial protection when market rates drop below the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Farmers across Madhya Pradesh can register their crops to benefit from the price difference scheme. The registration window for soybean for kharif 2026 (marketing year 2026-27) is scheduled from 3 October 2026 to 17 October 2026. This comprehensive initiative bridges the gap between market fluctuations and support prices through direct benefit transfers.

Eligibility and Crops Covered
To be eligible for the scheme, farmers must be residents of Madhya Pradesh and own agricultural land with matching land records. The crops covered under the Bhavantar scheme in 2026 include soybean, mustard, paddy, and maize. The soybean MSP for the 2026-27 marketing year has been fixed at ₹5,708 per quintal. Additionally, specific bonuses apply to other crops, such as ₹600 per quintal over MSP for urad and ₹1,000 per quintal for Kodo and Kutki under the Rani Durgavati Shri Anna Protsahan Yojana.
Registration Process and How to Apply
Registration is mandatory for all farmers wanting to claim the price difference payment. Selling produce in a mandi without a valid registration means the transaction will not be considered for compensation.
- Visit the official e-Uparjan website at mpeuparjan.nic.in, or visit a Kisan Registration Centre, Common Service Centre (CSC), or Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society (PACS). Alternatively, use the MP Kisan App.
- Select the appropriate crop from the registration list, ensuring you choose the correct window for soybean, mustard, or paddy.
- Enter your farmer registration number, Aadhaar number, correct bank account details, and land records. Ensure that your Khasra and B1 details match your Aadhaar records to prevent verification delays.
- Save and print the registration slip after successful submission.
- Sell your crop in any notified mandi, keep your sale receipt safe, and the price difference will automatically be calculated and credited to your verified bank account.
Payment and Compensation Calculation
Compensation is determined by comparing the MSP with the state model price (the average mandi rate for that period). If the mandi price sits below the MSP but above the model price, the difference between the MSP and the actual selling rate is paid. If the mandi price falls below the model price, the gap between the MSP and the model price is utilized. Payments are processed swiftly via DBT to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, typically within 48 hours of sale verification.
