Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) is a scheme of the Central Government. Under this, financial assistance of Rs 6,000 is given every year in three equal installments to all the land-owning farmer families of the country to increase their income. Farmers who have completed their eKYC, whose bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar card (UID card) and whose land records are registered on PM Kisan portal, are eligible to get the benefits of PM Kisan Yojana.

Which farmers do not get benefits?

(i) Those farmers who have acquired land ownership after February 1, 2019.
(ii) Cases where more than one member of the family is availing the benefit (eg, both husband and wife, one adult member and one minor, etc.).
In such cases, benefits have been withheld until physical verification is completed.
Farmers are requested to check their eligibility status through ‘Know Your Status’ (KYS) or ‘Kisan eMitra’ chatbot on PM Kisan website/mobile app for more information.
