Only 55.69% Registrations Completed So Far

Addressing the House, Revenue Minister Bawankule stated, “The registration process for E-Peek Pahani at the assistant level commenced on 25 January 2026. However, as of now, only 55.69% of the crop registrations for the Rabi season have been completed. Around 45% of farmers remain outside this essential process. In order to achieve 100% registration coverage, the Government has decided to extend the deadline.”
