The Punjab Wheat Support Program 2025 is making headlines across the province, offering Rs. 5,000 per acre to eligible wheat growers. But one of the most asked questions by the farming community is: “Can land tenants (مزارعین) also apply for this subsidy?” The answer is yes—and in this article, we’ll explain everything tenants need to know to benefit from the scheme.
What is the Punjab Wheat Program?
The Wheat Support Program 2025 is an initiative by the Government of Punjab, launched under the leadership of CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The aim is to provide financial assistance to small and medium-scale farmers to help reduce their cultivation costs and increase wheat production across the province.
Each eligible farmer receives Rs. 5,000 per acre, disbursed through the Kissan Card platform, managed by the Bank of Punjab.
Can Tenants Apply for the Rs. 5,000 Subsidy?
Absolutely! The program is not just limited to landowners. Tenants (مزارعین) who lease land for wheat cultivation are also fully eligible under certain conditions:
-
You must be actively cultivating wheat on the land.
-
Your name should appear in the Girdawri (گرداوری) record as a tenant farmer.
-
The total wheat-cultivated land under your use should be 12.5 acres or less.
-
You must have a valid CNIC and a SIM registered in your name.
This inclusion of tenants ensures that even those who don’t own land but work hard in the fields can get their fair share of support.

How Will Tenants Be Verified?
Tenants are verified through a combination of digital and manual methods:
-
In digitized areas, tenant information is cross-checked via PLRA and Girdawri records.
-
In non-digitized villages, verification is conducted manually by the Deputy Commissioner’s office.
Once verified, the tenant’s application is forwarded to the Bank of Punjab, and the subsidy is transferred to the account linked to the applicant’s CNIC.
Final Thoughts – Don’t Miss Out if You’re a Tenant Farmer
Tenant farmers form the backbone of Punjab’s agriculture, and this program finally recognizes their role. If you’re a tenant growing wheat on 12.5 acres or less, you are 100% eligible for the Rs. 5,000 per acre subsidy.
