The Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) in 2019 to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers in the country. This scheme provides an income support of Rs. 6,000 per year to eligible farmers, which is distributed in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 each.
One of the most important aspects of the PM-KISAN scheme is the beneficiary status. Farmers who are eligible for this scheme need to check their beneficiary status to ensure that they receive the financial support they are entitled to.
Thankfully, the process of checking PM-KISAN beneficiary status is simple and can be done online. Here’s how to check your beneficiary status:
Step 1: Visit the official PM-KISAN website at pmkisan.gov.in.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Farmers Corner’ section on the homepage.
Step 3: Click on the ‘Beneficiary Status’ option from the drop-down menu.
Step 4: Enter your Aadhaar Number, Account Number, or Mobile Number in the space provided.
Step 5: Click on the ‘Get Data’ button.
Step 6: The status of your PM-KISAN beneficiary application will be displayed on the screen.
In case your name is not listed as a PM-KISAN beneficiary, you can contact your respective state or district agricultural office to submit your application.
It’s important to note that there are some eligibility criteria that need to be met to receive the benefits of this scheme. The beneficiary should be a small or marginal farmer who owns cultivable land up to 2 hectares, and the farmer must have a valid Aadhaar card to be eligible.
Overall, the PM-KISAN scheme has been instrumental in providing financial support to farmers across the country. By checking your beneficiary status and ensuring that you meet the eligibility criteria, you can take advantage of this scheme and improve your economic condition as a farmer.
