PM KISAN YOJNA: Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one of the major schemes of the Central Government being run for the farmers of the country. Under this scheme, every four months, crores of farmers are given Rs 6000 annually in 3 equal installments of Rs 2000-2000.
This money is sent directly to the farmers’ accounts through DBT transfer. This benefit is available to those farmers who have land up to 2 hectares and who are citizens of India. Till now farmers have received 16 installment and now the 17th instalment is awaited.
The 17th installment will come in June or July
As per the rules of PM Yojana, the first instalment is released between April to July, the second installment between August to November, and the third instalment between December to March.
At present the code of conduct is in force and voting for the Lok Sabha elections is to be held between May and June, hence there is a possibility that the installment may be released after the formation of the new government after the results are declared on June 4.
However, if some media reports are to be believed, even after obtaining permission from the Election Commission, the Modi government can release the installment at the end of May before June, or the installment will be sent in July. At present no official confirmation has been given regarding the final date.
Without these documents, you will not get Rs 2000
If you are an eligible farmer and want to get the benefit of Rs 2000 in the 17th instalment, then first get the eKYC done, otherwise, you will not get the benefit. Apart from this, land verification and linking the account with Aadhaar is also mandatory, otherwise, you will be deprived of the 17th instalment. Keep an eye on the official website of PM KISAN for farmer updates.
If you have also applied to get the benefits of the scheme, then you must check your name in the beneficiary list. Apart from eKYC, land verification, and bank account not being linked to Aadhaar, the application in PM Kisan Yojana can be rejected due to wrong bank details. It is possible, so please check. Even if the age of the applicant is less than 18 years, the application form can be rejected.
