The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna (PM-KISAN) is a scheme launched by the Government of India with an aim to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers across the country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs. 6,000 per year in three instalments, credited directly to their bank accounts. However, in certain cases, there may be a delay in the payment of the instalments. This article will provide information about the late payment of PM-KISAN instalments.
Late Payment of PM-KISAN Instalments
There have been cases where the beneficiaries of PM-KISAN have not received the instalments on time. The reasons for the delay could be various, ranging from technical issues in the bank systems to discrepancies in the data provided by the farmers. In some cases, the payments may have been withheld due to the verification process of the beneficiary’s Aadhaar or bank account information.
What to do if the Payment is Delayed?
If a PM-KISAN beneficiary has not received the instalment on time, he/she should contact the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or the State or District Agriculture Department. The beneficiary can also call the PM-KISAN helpline number PM-KISAN Helpline No .com. The helpline number is 155261 or 1800115526 (Toll Free). The beneficiary should provide all the necessary information, such as the PM-KISAN registration number, Aadhaar number, and bank account details while contacting the CSC or the helpline number.
The concerned authority will look into the matter and try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. If the payment has been withheld due to verification issues, the beneficiary may be required to visit the concerned office and provide updated Aadhaar or bank account information.
Conclusion
The PM-KISAN scheme is a landmark initiative of the Government of India to provide financial assistance to farmers. In case of late payment of the instalments, farmers should not panic and reach out to the concerned authorities. With a little patience and persistence, the issue can be resolved, and the farmer can receive the rightful benefits of the scheme.
