Farmers can either register their crop losses directly on the E-Kshatipurti portal or visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) for assistance.

Dahiya further instructed the Agriculture Department to verify crop loss claims without delay, ensuring that compensation is directly transferred to farmers' bank accounts at the earliest.
