PM Kisan Status Check 2024: The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) programme of the government is a lifeline for small and marginal farmers across India. It was started in 2019 so as to provide direct funds to eligible farmers who could then use it for their agriculture related expenditure and household expenses.
How Does PM Kisan Work?
₹6,000 are given to each farmer every year under the PM Kisan. This amount is divided into three equal parts of ₹2,000 each. Every four months this money is directly deposited into their bank accounts. The system ensures transparency and efficiency by adopting direct benefit transfer (DBT) technique that reduces delays and potential misuse possibilities.
Who is Eligible for PM Kisan?
The scheme has been crafted in a manner that it can cater to various categories of farmers but there are specific conditions:
- Landholding Farmers: You must have cultivable land in your name as per official records.
- Family Unit: The benefit is provided for the entire family consisting of husband, wife and minor children.
- Exclusions: Government officials, high-income earners, and those paying income tax shall not be considered eligible beneficiaries.
