The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a scheme launched in 2019 by the Government of India to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive direct cash transfer of Rs. 6,000 per year, in three instalments of Rs. 2,000 each.
Once a farmer applies for PM-KISAN, they can track the status of their application through the official website of the scheme. To check the status of their application, farmers need to follow these steps:

There are three possible statuses of a PM-KISAN application – “Pending”, “Approved” and “Rejected”.

“Approved” status means that the beneficiary has been identified and verified as a small and marginal farmer and is eligible to receive the cash transfer.
“Rejected” status means that the application has been rejected for various reasons like incorrect Aadhaar details, incorrect bank account details, or the applicant is not a farmer.
