The central government transferred the 9th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme to the accounts of over 12 crore farmers on Monday. The PM-KISAN scheme or Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme (PM-KISAN) provides financial benefit of Rs 6,000 to eligible farmer families every year. Fully backed by the central government, PM-KISAN scheme aims to help small and medium category farmers by funding them in three instalments every year. The benefit is transferred directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000.
“We’ve seen the strength of India’s farmers even at the time of pandemic. Amid record production, Govt also made an effort to minimise the difficulties of farmers. From providing seeds and fertilisers, to helping the farmers take their produce to markets, govt made all efforts,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while transferring the amount to eligible farmers on Monday.
The first instalment is generally between December 1 and March 31. The second instalment is between April 1 and July 31. The third instalment comes in between August 1 and November 30. Under the scheme, there are around 12.11 crore farmers across India who are registered. Around 9.75 crore farmers are the beneficiaries of the PM-KISAN scheme.
With the 9th instalment, the government released around Rs 19,500 crore in funds. There are certain limitations to the scheme’s criteria that limit which farmers can and cannot receive the funds. Having said that, here is how you can check if you have received the funds from the PM-KISAN scheme.
