The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan) is a government initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to small and marginal farmers across the country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive an income support of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each. The scheme was launched on 24th February 2019, and since then, millions of farmers have benefited from it.
If you are an eligible farmer, it is essential to check your beneficiary status to ensure that you receive the benefits of the scheme. Here’s how you can do it.
Firstly, visit the official website of PM-Kisan, pmkisan.gov.in. On the homepage, you will see an option called “Farmer’s Corner”. Click on it, and you will see a drop-down menu. From there, click on “Beneficiary Status.”
Now, you will be taken to a new page, where you need to select one of the two available options. You can either choose Aadhaar number or account number to check your beneficiary status. If you opt for Aadhaar number, you will have to enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and select your state. If you choose account number, you will have to enter your bank account number, IFSC code of your bank branch, and select your state.
After entering all the details, click on “Get Data,” and you will be able to see your beneficiary status on the screen. If you are eligible for the scheme, your name, Aadhaar number, and other details will be displayed on the screen, confirming your beneficiary status. If there is any discrepancy in the information displayed, you can contact the scheme’s helpline number and get it corrected.
