As per the recently announced scheme by the Government of India, all the small and marginal farmers are eligible for a payment of INR 6,000 per year in three installments. Known as Kisan Samman Nidhi, this scheme is applicable to all the farmers owning less than 2 hectares of land. The first installment was due on 1st December 2019, the second installment on 1st July 2020, and the third installment on 1st August 2020.
To check the payment status of Kisan Samman Nidhi, there are several ways to do so. One can simply visit the official website of the scheme, www.pmkisan.gov.in, and login in with their credentials. The farmers will need to provide their Aadhaar number, bank account details, and their mobile number to get registered under the scheme. After the registration, they can check the payment status under the ‘Farmers Corner’ section of the website.
Another method to check the payment status is through the toll-free number provided by the government, i.e. 18001155266. The farmers can give a call on this number, and they will be guided to enter their registered mobile number to check their payment status. Alternatively, farmers can also approach their respective district agricultural offices to check the status of their payment.
It’s important to note that there have been several delays in the payment of installments under the scheme due to various reasons such as incorrect bank account details, Aadhaar linkage issues, and technical errors. However, the government has taken several measures to ensure that all the eligible farmers receive the benefits of the scheme as soon as possible.
In conclusion, the Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme provides significant financial support to small and marginal farmers, and there are various ways available for them to track the payment status of the installments. The government is constantly working to ensure that all the eligible farmers receive the benefits of the scheme timely and without any hassles.
