Complete, step-by-step instructions to apply online through the TN e-Sevai portal, list of documents, helpful tips, and an FAQ for farmers and applicants.
Why you need an Agricultural Income Certificate
An Agricultural Income Certificate proves the income you earn from farming for a financial year. It is often required for crop loans, subsidies, government schemes and certain government benefits.
Quick summary (one-line)
Register on TN e-Sevai → Get Citizen Access Number (CAN) → Login → Select REV-106 Agricultural Income Certificate → Fill form → Upload documents → Pay (if applicable) → Submit → Track status → Download certificate.
Step-by-step: Apply online (recommended)
Visit the TN e-Sevai citizen portal. Create an account if you haven't already by clicking Sign Up / New User. You will need a valid mobile number and Aadhaar details to complete registration.
Many revenue certificates require a CAN (Citizen Access Number). If the portal asks, register for a CAN using your Aadhaar or family card. Save your CAN — it serves as a permanent ID for future applications.
Login with your credentials, go to Services → Revenue Department (or search service code REV-106), and choose Agricultural Income Certificate.
Provide applicant name, father's/husband's name, address, details of land holding (survey number, village, extent), year for which income is claimed, and other required fields. Be accurate — incorrect entries delay processing.
Scan and upload clear copies of the required documents (list below). Typical files: Aadhaar, land documents (patta, ROR), recent utility bill or address proof, passport photo. Use PDF or JPG as per portal instructions.
Check whether a nominal service charge applies (varies by service and whether using an e-Sevai center). Pay online through the portal (or pay at a CSC / e-Sevai center) and submit the form.
After submission you'll get an application number. Use it to track status on the portal. Once approved, download and print your Agricultural Income Certificate.
Required documents (usually)
If you prefer in-person
If online is difficult, you can apply at your local Tahsildar / Revenue office or at an e-Sevai / Common Service Centre (CSC). Staff there can help register your CAN and submit the REV-106 application for a small facilitation fee.
Common errors & troubleshooting
- Wrong survey/land number — double-check from patta or ROR before submitting.
- Mismatch in name or Aadhaar details — update Aadhaar or use alternate valid ID.
- Upload failed — use smaller files (under 1 MB) or try PNG/JPG/PDF separately.
- Portal not loading — try a different browser (Chrome recommended) or apply via the local e-Sevai center.
