The economic condition of most farmers in the country is not good, with many facing crop losses.
To support farmers financially, the central government has implemented various schemes, including the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Yojana).
This scheme has provided benefits to farmers through 16 installments so far, and they are eagerly waiting for the 17th installment. To receive these benefits, farmers must register for the scheme.
Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually in three installments of Rs 2,000 each.
The first installment is distributed between April 1 and July 31, the second between August 1 and November 30, and the third between December 1 and March 31.
Rule Changes and Requirements
Some farmers have not received their PM Kisan payments on time, leading to concerns about possible rule changes.
However, there have been no official changes to the scheme’s rules. To continue receiving benefits, farmers must link their bank accounts with Aadhaar and complete their KYC (Know Your Customer) process.
Failing to complete KYC can result in delayed installments. Therefore, it is crucial for farmers to ensure all their paperwork is in order.
Necessary Documents for PM Kisan
To benefit from the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, farmers need the following documents:
Aadhar card
Bank account details
Passport size photo
Income certificate
Land documents
Residence certificate
Farmers must also complete the e-KYC process, which can be done on the official PM Kisan Yojana website. Additionally, verifying land records is essential.
Farmers who have not applied for the next installment should do so promptly, and those who have applied should check their application status.
Ineligible Farmers for PM Kisan Benefits
Certain farmers are ineligible for PM Kisan benefits:
Both husband and wife cannot simultaneously receive benefits.If any family member pays income tax, they are disqualified from the scheme.
Farmers who lease land for farming cannot receive benefits, as land ownership is a requirement. Farmers or family members holding constitutional posts are also ineligible.
Ensuring compliance with these rules and maintaining accurate documentation is essential for farmers to continue receiving benefits under the PM Kisan Yojana.
