Across the nation, various governmental initiatives aim to support those in need. If you are part of any government scheme, then you are most likely receiving the benefits it offers. One such program catering to farmers is the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Yojna).
Established in December 2018, this scheme promises an annual income support of ₹6,000 distributed in three equal installments (₹2,000 each) to all land-holding farmer families. The scheme defines a family unit as comprising the husband, wife, and minor children.
Identifying eligible farmer families for support under the scheme falls under the purview of State Governments and Union Territory administrations. While funds are directly transferred to beneficiaries' bank accounts, sometimes farmers and their families encounter issues or require information related to installments or the application process.
So far, the farmers have received support through this scheme for 15 installments with the latest being credited on November 15, 2023, and they now await the 16th installment. To ensure they don't miss out on this benefit, farmers are advised to complete their applications and related tasks at the earliest possible.
