Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna (PM-Kisan) is a government scheme that provides financial assistance to farmers across India. Launched in 2019, the PM-Kisan scheme aims to provide a stable and reliable income for farmers to support their livelihood and promote sustainable agriculture.
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, eligible farmers receive a financial assistance of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each. The financial assistance is directly transferred to the bank account of the beneficiary through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
To be eligible for the PM-Kisan scheme, a farmer must fulfill the following criteria:
1. The farmer must be a citizen of India.
2. The farmer must have a cultivable land holding of up to 2 hectares.
3. The farmer must have a valid Aadhaar card.
4. The farmer’s bank account should be linked with Aadhaar card.
To apply for the PM-Kisan scheme, farmers can either register online on the PM-Kisan website or visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC). The application process is simple and free. Along with the application form, farmers need to provide their Aadhaar card and land ownership documents.
Once the application is submitted and verified, the financial assistance is directly transferred to the bank account of the beneficiary within a few days.
However, if your query is related to when the next installment will be paid, you can check the status of your payment on the PM-Kisan website by entering your Aadhaar number, mobile number, or account number. The status of your payment will be displayed on the screen.
In case of any discrepancy or certain issues, farmers can dial the toll-free number – 18001155266 – or send an email to pmkisan-ict@gov.in.
In conclusion, PM-Kisan is an excellent scheme that provides financial assistance to farmers, and promotes sustainable agriculture. This scheme goes a long way in ensuring that the farmers of India have a stable income and can support their families, even in times of financial distress.
