PM Kisan Rule: To help the farmers of the country financially, the central government is running the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. Through this scheme, the government gives an amount of Rs 6000 to the farmers every year. This amount reaches the farmers’ account in three installments of Rs 2000-2000. The government has made rules for the beneficiaries of this scheme.
Meaning who can take advantage of this scheme and who cannot. In such a situation, farmers have many questions in their minds about this scheme. One of these questions is whether the farmers who cultivate on others’ land get the benefit of PM Kisan Scheme.
Land records
Under the PM Kisan scheme, benefits are given only to those farmers in whose name the agricultural land is registered. Because while applying, the record of the agricultural land has to be attached. Under the land records, the ownership rights of the farmers should be clear. It is necessary to have e-KYC of the farmer on the PM Kisan portal. Bank account must be linked to Aadhaar. Your bank account must be linked to the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI).
11 crore farmers benefited
On February 24, 2019, the central government launched the PM Kisan scheme to financially help the farmers of the country. More than 11 crore farmers across the country have received payments of more than Rs 3.04 lakh crore so far. The very next day after taking oath as Prime Minister for the third time, PM Narendra Modi gave a gift to the farmers and signed the file to transfer an amount of Rs 2000 to their account. Through the 17th installment of PM Kisan, 9.3 crore farmers benefited and about Rs 20,000 crore was distributed.
