A few days later, the sixth installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme will begin in the account of crores of farmers. The PM Kisan Yojana, which started on 24 February 2019, was affected only from 1 December 2018. Many changes have been made since the scheme began. Such as Aadhar card mandatory, elimination of holding limit, self registration etc. Let us know about the significant change since the inception of the scheme. At the same time, it is also important for you to know that till now farmers have got 5 installments under this scheme and the sixth installment will start coming from August 1. Let us know that every year the Modi government sends Rs 6000 in three installments to the farmers’ account.
Aadhar card mandatory
If you are thinking of taking advantage of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, then your base is most important. Without Aadhaar you cannot avail this scheme. The government has made Aadhaar mandatory for the beneficiaries.
Hold limit over
At the beginning of the scheme, only those farmers who had cultivable farming with 2 hectares or 5 acres were considered eligible. Now the Modi government has abolished this obligation so that 14.5 crore farmers can get its benefits.
Self registration facility
For this, the benefit of the PM Kisan Yojana should reach more and more farmers, for this the Modi government has ended the obligation to visit Lekhpal, Kanungo and Agriculture Officer. Now farmers can register themselves on their own. If you have a Khatauni, Aadhar card, mobile number and bank account number, go to the Farmers Corner on pmkisan.nic.in and register yourself.
Status check facility
The government made another big change that you can check your status yourself after registration. Like what is the status of your application, how much installment has come in your bank account etc. Now any farmer can get status information by entering his Aadhaar number, mobile or bank account number by visiting PM Kisan Portal.
Benefits of Kisan Credit Card and Manadhan Yojana
The Kisan Credit Card (KCC) has also been added to the PM Kisan Scheme. KCC has become easier for the beneficiaries of PM farmers. On Kesar, farmers get loans up to Rs 3 lakh at 4%. At the same time, the farmer enjoying the benefit of PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi will not have to provide any documents for PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers can choose to contribute directly from the benefits received from the PM-Kisan scheme.
