Punjab Agriculture Helpline 0800-17000 and Every Department Contact Number: Kissan Card, Pest Warning, Seed Corporation

The Punjab Agriculture Department's helpline is 0800-17000, a free number that answers every day from 8 am to 8 pm. It handles Kissan Card loans and repayments, green tractor and super seeder schemes, the wheat package and pesticide licences. For a specific office, the department's own directory lists direct Lahore numbers, including Pest Warning on 042-99204371 and the Punjab Seed Corporation on 042-99212557.

Farmers lose whole afternoons calling the wrong office. We read the department's contact page, its detailed directory, its recent press releases and its scheme advertisements on agripunjab.gov.pk on 1 November 2026. Every number below is copied from those pages.

0800-17000 is the number for every farmer scheme

Every Agriculture Department advertisement and press release we read this autumn ends with the same line: the agricultural helpline 0800-17000, open daily from 8 am to 8 pm. The 0800 prefix means the call is free from a landline, and the department lists no other farmer helpline.

Use it for questions about these schemes, which are the ones the department's own notices send to the helpline:

• Kissan Card: loans, bill payment and the repayment prize draw
• Green tractor schemes, including the high power tractor ballot
• Super seeder purchase and rental subsidies
• The 2026-27 wheat package, including the DAP loan and seed subsidy
• Pesticide dealer licences and training

The department's directory gives a direct line for each wing

For anything the helpline cannot settle, the department's directory lists a direct Lahore number for each wing. Most are at Agriculture House, 21-Davis Road, Lahore. Call the wing that runs your scheme rather than the Secretary's office.

The "Handles" column is our summary from each wing's name and the department's own notices, not a list the department publishes. Pest Warning, for example, is the office the pesticide licence advertisement names.

Senior offices and the research side

The Secretary Agriculture's office is on the 2nd Floor, New P&D Tower, 2-Bank Road, Lahore, on 042-99210499 and 042-99210130. The Minister's office is at Agriculture House, 21-Davis Road, on 042-99206397. These are for escalation, not first contact.

On the research side, the directory lists Ayub Agricultural Research Institute in Faisalabad on 041-9201671 and 041-9201672, and the Punjab Agricultural Research Board in Johar Town, Lahore, on 042-99333366. Farmers asking about seed varieties or a crop disease often get a better answer there than at a scheme office.

District offices handle forms, training and verification

Most scheme paperwork happens at district level. The department's notices send tractor forms to the Deputy Director Agriculture (Extension) and pesticide training queries to the Director or Deputy Director (Pest Warning) in each district.

The directory does not list district numbers. Ask the helpline for your district office's number, or visit the extension office at the tehsil headquarters. For the high power tractor scheme, the 21 October press release said farmers in non-computerised mouzas could get a free paper form from the extension office and submit it to the Deputy Director Agriculture (Extension).

Office hours at district level are not published in the directory. In practice, government offices in Punjab open in the morning on working days, so plan a visit early and take copies of your CNIC, land record and any scheme receipt. Papers in hand save a second trip.

How to get a useful answer in one call

The helpline staff can only check what you give them. Have the scheme name, your CNIC and any application or card number ready, and note the date and time of the call. That record matters if you later need to escalate.

1. Call 0800-17000 between 8 am and 8 pm.
2. Name the scheme first: Kissan Card, tractor, super seeder, wheat package or licence.
3. Give your CNIC and any application or card number.
4. Write down the name of the person you spoke to and what they said.
5. If nothing changes in a week, call the wing's direct number from the table.

For the Kissan Card in particular, repayment deadlines and the prize draw are explained in the Kissan Card lucky draw result. The current subsidies are listed in the Punjab wheat package 2026-27, and the licence window in the pesticide dealer licence dates.
