How to Access These Schemes at NTS?

Simply walk into your nearest NTS Digital Hub outlet with your Aadhaar card and bank passbook. Our trained CSC agents will guide you through the eligibility check, form filling, and submission — all in one visit.

Why Apply Through NTS Digital Hub?

Unlike online portals where technical errors and document mismatches cause rejections, NTS CSC agents verify your documents on-the-spot and submit applications directly through the official government portals — reducing errors and ensuring faster approval.

How To Apply For PM-KISAN Through NTS Digital Hub

PM-KISAN (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi) provides ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families across India in three equal instalments of ₹2,000. NTS Digital Hub now helps farmers apply and register with zero hassle.

• Farmer families where neither the husband, wife, nor minor children own more than 2 hectares of land.
• Aadhaar-linked bank account is mandatory for receiving the instalment directly.
• Must be registered as a farmer in the Revenue / Agriculture department land records.

Documents Required

• Aadhaar Card (mandatory — for identity and bank linkage)
• Bank Passbook / Account Number with IFSC
• Land ownership / Khasra-Khatauni document
• Mobile number linked to Aadhaar (for OTP)

Step-by-Step Application Process at NTS

Visit your nearest NTS Digital Hub outlet with all documents. Our CSC agent will:

• Verify your Aadhaar via biometric or OTP authentication
• Check existing PM-KISAN registration status on the portal
• Fill and submit the PM-KISAN registration form online
• Upload land records and bank details
• Provide you with a registration reference number

How to Check PM-KISAN Status?

After registration, you can check your instalment status anytime at any NTS outlet or via the official PM-KISAN portal (pmkisan.gov.in) using your Aadhaar number or registration ID. NTS agents assist with status tracking at no charge.

Digital India: How CSC Services Are Changing Rural Lives

India's Digital India programme has transformed over 6 lakh Common Service Centres (CSCs) into neighbourhood digital hubs — and NTS Digital Hub is at the forefront, serving rural communities across Himachal Pradesh and beyond.

What Is a CSC and Why Does It Matter?

A Common Service Centre (CSC) is a government-authorised access point for delivering essential public and private services electronically to citizens — especially in areas without proper internet access, banks, or government offices. NTS Digital Hub operates as a certified CSC, offering 20+ services under one roof.

Key Services Transforming Rural India

• AePS Banking — Villagers can now withdraw cash, check balance, and receive government payments using just their Aadhaar and fingerprint — no debit card needed.
• PAN Card & Aadhaar — Apply for PAN cards, update Aadhaar details, and download e-Aadhaar without travelling to the city.
• Bill Payments (BBPS) — Pay electricity, water, gas, and insurance bills instantly through the NPCI BBPS network — even in remote areas.
• Digital Literacy (PMGDISHA) — Free digital literacy training that teaches villagers how to use smartphones, UPI, and online services safely.
• Government Benefits (DBT) — Direct Benefit Transfer for MGNREGA wages, pensions, and scholarship disbursements — all collected at the local NTS outlet.
• Certificates & Documents — Income certificates, domicile certificates, caste certificates, and land records — applied online through CSC portals.

How NTS Digital Hub Makes a Difference

Unlike generic cyber cafes, NTS Digital Hub is a trained, certified CSC partner — which means our agents are verified, our systems are connected directly to government portals, and every transaction is receipted and accountable. We don't just provide internet access — we provide trust.

The Road Ahead

With the Indian government expanding digital services to cover health (Ayushman Bharat), agriculture (e-Kisan), and education, NTS Digital Hub is continuously expanding its service portfolio — ensuring that no citizen is left behind in India's digital transformation journey.
