Millions of farmers across the country are eagerly awaiting the 21st installment under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, but this time, the installment is facing an unusual delay. The government has issued a new and significant update regarding this delay and the next installment. Before the release of the previous 20th installment, it was revealed that millions of farmers, despite being eligible, were not properly following the scheme’s rules.
Furthermore, many ineligible individuals were also taking advantage of the scheme. Consequently, the government has issued instructions to complete certain necessary steps before releasing the installment. This Google Search-friendly article will explain the root cause of this delay, the status of the excluded farmers, and the golden opportunity to receive ₹4,000.
Government’s Tough Stance on Ineligibility
The government has clarified on its official website that millions of farmers were violating the scheme’s guidelines or were receiving benefits despite being ineligible. In light of this serious irregularity, a large number of ineligible farmers were removed from the scheme during the 20th installment, and their names were removed from the beneficiary list.
According to the latest update, approximately 35 million farmers have been temporarily removed from the list. The government is now asking those farmers who are actually eligible to provide the necessary information. Physical verification of eligible farmers is underway at a rapid pace, which will ensure that eligible farmers will receive the scheme’s benefits again. This government move is a strong effort towards transparency and ensuring that benefits reach only eligible farmers.
Now you will get ₹4,000
This is welcome news for eligible farmers whose PM Kisan Yojana installments were stopped due to non-compliance with guidelines. The government has clarified that if such farmers update the necessary information on time, their pending installments will be released along with the next installment.
This simply means that if your benefits have been withheld due to missing documents or incorrect information, and you update everything, you will receive the 21st installment of ₹2,000, along with the ₹2,000 of the previous withheld installment, meaning a total of ₹4,000 will be transferred directly to your account. This is a great opportunity for farmers who were previously negligent.
Do you also have these important tasks pending?
If you are enrolled in the PM Kisan Yojana and want your 21st installment without any interruptions, complete these crucial tasks immediately:
- Complete e-KYC immediately so that the scheme amount can be deposited directly into your account without any hassles. This is mandatory.
- Link your bank account with Aadhaar immediately; otherwise, the installment money will not be transferred.
- Double-check your bank account details, such as name, account number, and IFSC code, to ensure they are completely correct.
- If there are any errors in the Khatauni or Khasra, update the land records immediately.
- Check your beneficiary status by visiting pmkisan.gov.in to see if your name is on the list.
- Keep your mobile number updated to receive timely OTP and installment notifications.
- Farmer registration is also required in some states. Those who have not yet done so should complete this important task immediately.
Golden Opportunity to Prove Eligibility
Eligible farmers whose names have been temporarily removed from the list still have a golden opportunity to prove their eligibility. Farmers whose names have been removed but are still eligible can reapply and re-upload the required documents. You can easily complete this process using your mobile phone or through your nearest Meeseva center.
The central government clarified in a statement that farmers’ removal from the beneficiary list is temporary, not permanent. Once all documents and eligibility criteria are met, they will resume receiving benefits under the scheme.
