NISHANPM-KISAN services, made simple

How NISHAN Works

Nidhi Investigation, Status, Help & Accountability Navigator

Simplifying complex government scheme troubleshooting into five clear, guided steps.

DemoCheck a payment

How this works

Three steps, on any service. No password, no captcha, no registration number.

STEP01Tell us who to look up

1. Citizen input

The citizen enters a synthetic lookup identifier - Aadhaar, mobile, or registration number.

STEP02We read the records for you

2. Multi-system verification

NISHAN evaluates data across seven government records simultaneously instead of siloed portals.

STEP03Who can fix this

3. Deterministic diagnosis

The rules engine applies official guidelines in strict precedence order to isolate the root blocker.

STEP04You get one answer and one action

4. Action recommendation

The user receives a plain-language next step, exact officer to meet, documents to carry, and an official slip.

STEP05What to do next

5. Resolution

The problem is resolved without circular office referrals or endless portal refreshes.

Current hackathon prototype

Built on a fully deterministic rules engine with a Multi-Government Service Layer simulation, synthetic test personas, zero external dependencies, and in-browser state privacy.

  • Deterministic rules engine with no external model deciding the result
  • Seven simulated government systems with controlled fault injection
  • Synthetic test personas and browser-only demo state

Production architecture vision

In production, authorized integration gateways connect to UIDAI identity verification, State Land Record registers, National Payments Corporation routing, Central Financial Systems, and Common Service Centre kiosks.

  • Authorized identity verification APIs, subject to approval
  • State land-record data sources through approved gateways
  • Authorized payment-status and bank-routing integrations

Hackathon Prototype Note: This prototype does not connect to live government databases, Aadhaar servers, or banking networks. All evaluation runs locally on synthetic test cases.
