PM KISAN: Money won't be credited if THIS document is missing, check and add immediately

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi released 10th instalment of financial benefit under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme via video conferencing on January 1. This enabled the transfer of an amount of more than Rs 20,000 crore to more than 10 crore beneficiary farmer families. However, the next installment may not be credited in your account if you fail to attach an important document.

In a bid to curb fraudulent activities under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) Scheme, the government has made big changes regarding the document rules, media reports said. As per the new rules, the government has made ration card as mandatory documents to avail the benefits of PM-KISAN Scheme. Eligible farming families will now have to submit their ration card number, soft copies of the same along with valid soft copies of Aadhar card, bank passbook, and declaration form in the PM-KISAN website.

It may be recalled that a couple of weeks ago media reports had quoted that 7 lakh farmers in UP may have to return money received under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme's 10th instalment due to ineligibility of terms and conditions.These 7 lakh farmers are found to be either paying income tax for earnings from other sources or are not eligible to get cash benefit of Rs 2000 per instalment. 

Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, every year, annual cash transfer of Rs 6000 is disbursed to the farmers in three instalments.

- First instalment - April- July.

- Second instalment - August-November

- Third instalment - December-March
