As the whole country is talking about the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, many farmers are concerned about their account not receiving the money yet. The scheme is beneficial to the farmers who have small landholding up to 2 hectares, by giving them an income support of 6,000 rupees per year directly into their bank accounts in three equal installments.
Farmers who have enrolled for the scheme are eager to receive the benefits, but it is essential to understand that the process may take some time. The government has announced that the first installment of the scheme would be transferred in the first quarter of the financial year 2021-22, which means it could be transferred up to June 2021. However, some farmers may have already received the payment, and those who haven’t received the payment till now may receive it shortly.
It is important for farmers to note that the payment process is carried out through the state governments, and the verification of farmers’ data is also performed at the state level. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the correct details are submitted while enrolling for the scheme through the Lekhpal or Patwari or the designated agency in your state. Any errors in the data can cause a delay in the payment process, and farmers may not receive the benefits on time.
Another issue that could lead to the payment delay is incorrect bank details. Farmers should double-check their bank account and IFSC code details while enrolling for the scheme. If the details are wrong, it will take time for the payment to be credited into the account, and the delay can cause inconvenience to the farmer.
The Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a significant scheme for the farmers, and it is essential to understand its process to receive its benefits. Farmers must remain patient and ensure that their data and bank details are accurate to receive prompt benefits. The government is trying to ensure that the benefits reach the farmers, and the payment process is steadily evolving. Therefore, it is necessary for farmers to have trust and faith in the government and wait for their turn to receive the benefits.
