New Delhi: The Central Government has made it compulsory for all farmers to complete their registration to continue receiving the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana benefits. Without this registration, farmers will not get the 20th installment of the scheme.
This installment is set to be released on June 20. Only registered farmers will receive the amount in their bank accounts.
What Is PM-Kisan Yojana?
PM-Kisan is a government scheme that provides Rs 6,000 per year to eligible farmers. This money is given in three installments of Rs 2,000 each, every four months.
The latest installment, the 19th, was given out on February 24. Around Rs 22,000 crore was transferred directly into the bank accounts of 9.8 crore farmers across India.
Why Farmers Must Act Fast
In one tehsil area, out of 66,900 eligible farmers, only 35,429 have completed their registration. This means over 30,000 farmers may not get the next payment unless they register soon.
Also, registration is now mandatory for all agriculture-related government schemes, not just PM-Kisan. Farmers who don’t register will lose access to many benefits.
