As part of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme, the government of India has launched the pmkisan.gov.in portal. This portal provides information about the beneficiary status of farmers across the country who are eligible under the PM Kisan scheme.
The PM Kisan scheme was launched in 2019 with an aim to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers in India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive an income support of Rs. 6,000 annually in three installments of Rs. 2,000 each. The first installment is paid between April-July, the second between August-November, and the third between December-March.
To check the beneficiary status on the pmkisan.gov.in portal, farmers need to follow these steps:
1. Visit the official website of pmkisan.gov.in
2. Click on “Farmers Corner” on the homepage
3. Select “Beneficiary Status” from the drop-down menu
4. Enter your Aadhaar number or bank account number or mobile number
5. Click on the “Get Data” button
The website will display the status of the farmer’s application. If the status shows “Approved”, it means that the farmer is eligible under the scheme and will receive the PM Kisan benefit. If the status shows “Rejected” or “Pending”, the farmer needs to contact the PM Kisan Helpline number (155261/1800115526) or the nodal officer of the state or district for further assistance.
It is important to note that only eligible farmers who possess valid documents such as Aadhaar card, bank account details, and land documents can apply for the PM Kisan scheme. The beneficiary list is also verified and updated regularly by the central and state governments to ensure that only genuine beneficiaries receive the benefits.
The pmkisan.gov.in portal has made it easy for farmers to check their beneficiary status under the PM Kisan scheme. It has also increased transparency and accountability in delivering the benefits to the rightful beneficiaries.
