How to Crop and Print Your Kisan Card (KC / PM-Kisan)
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme provides essential income support to eligible farmer families across India. When you download your e-Kisan card certificate from the official portal, it is formatted as a full-page document containing land registration numbers, Aadhaar verification markers, and beneficiary account details.
Carrying a full A4 sheet to banks, cooperative societies, and fertilizer distribution centres is cumbersome. Our intelligent document layout tool formats your official Kisan Card into a compact, standardized ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (CR80) plastic card format in four simple steps:
Select File
Click "Select Kisan Card File" to choose your downloaded PM-Kisan PDF or scanned photo from your phone or PC.
Automatic Crop
The system automatically recognizes farmer photo, beneficiary name, registration ID, and back-side terms.
CR80 Alignment
Both sides are normalized to exactly 85.6mm × 54.0mm with high-contrast 2px black cutting border lines.

CSC VLE & Cyber Cafe Printing Guide for Kisan Cards
For village-level entrepreneurs (VLEs) and cyber cafe owners servicing local farmers, delivering a durable, water-resistant card is crucial. Here are the three best methods to produce professional cards using ID Makers:
- Method 1: 250+ GSM Glossy Paper + 250 Micron Lamination (Recommended):
Print the A4 layout on heavyweight glossy photo paper using an inkjet printer (Epson L3210, Canon G2020, etc.). Cut along the outer dashed lines. Fold or sandwich both sides inside a 250 to 350 micron ID pouch and pass through a laminator preheated to 120°C. This creates a sturdy, water-repellent card that withstands agricultural field use. - Method 2: PVC Sticker Sheet Lamination (Core PVC):
Print on inkjet PVC sticker paper. Peel and paste onto a 0.5mm blank PVC core sheet, then heat-laminate. This creates a solid plastic card indistinguishable from a bank debit card. - Method 3: Direct Thermal PVC Card Printer:
For high-volume operators with Zebra, Fargo, or Evolis PVC printers, download the individual Front PNG and Back PNG files. These files are rendered at exact 1011 × 638 px @ 300 DPI, eliminating the need for any resizing software.
Troubleshooting Common Kisan Card Printing Issues
- PM-Kisan Beneficiary Status vs Kisan Credit Card (KCC): This tool formats the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi registration card. If you are printing a bank-issued Kisan Credit Card (KCC), that is a physical bank-issued magnetic card not downloaded from
pmkisan.gov.in. - High-Contrast Barcode Scanning: Fertilizer distribution centers and cooperative societies scan the card's beneficiary registration barcode. To avoid scan failures, print on glossy paper using original black ink at 300 DPI.
- Printer Scale Setting: Always choose "Actual Size" or 100% in your print driver. Never select "Fit to Printable Area", which reduces the physical card dimensions below standard 85.6mm wallet size.
