As the Prime Minister’s Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) enters its third year of implementation, there has been much anticipation and speculation about when the tenth installment of the scheme will be disbursed to eligible farmers. The PM-KISAN scheme, which was launched in February 2019, aims to provide direct income support to farmers across the country.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive a financial benefit of Rs. 6,000 per year in three installments of Rs. 2,000 each. The first installment is usually disbursed in April-June, the second installment in August-November, and the third installment in December-March.
For the current year, the first two installments of the PM-KISAN scheme have already been disbursed to eligible farmers in April and June, respectively. Now, farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the third and final installment of the scheme.
However, there has been no official announcement from the government regarding the exact date of the disbursal of the third installment. According to some reports, the government may release the installment in September 2021, just before the festival of Raksha Bandhan.
It is important to note that in the past two years, the government has disbursed the third installment of the PM-KISAN scheme in December and March, respectively. This delay in the disbursal of the third installment may be due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy.
Nevertheless, eligible farmers need not worry about the delay in the disbursal of the third installment. The government has assured that all eligible farmers will receive their due benefit under the PM-KISAN scheme. The government has also extended the PM-KISAN scheme to cover more farmers, including those who do not own land but are engaged in farming activities.
In conclusion, while there has been no official announcement from the government regarding the disbursal date of the tenth installment of the PM-KISAN scheme, it is expected to be released soon. Eligible farmers should stay updated with official announcements and ensure that their bank account details are up-to-date to receive the benefit under the scheme.
