If you also want to get an annual financial assistance of ₹ 6,000 by joining the PM Kisan Yojana, then be careful! These days, cases of online fraud have increased a lot. Scammers are cheating farmers through fake websites and calls. Let us know how you can avoid such fraud and what is the right way to apply for PM Kisan.
Avoid fraudsters like this
To avoid fraud in the name of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, you should always keep some things in mind. These fraudsters often make innocent farmers their victims.
Stay away from fake websites and apps
Fraudsters create many fake websites and apps that look like the real website. You should always apply from pmkisan.gov.in or the official ‘Kisan App’. Do not trust any other link.
Do not click on unknown links
If you get a call or message saying that we are sending you a link and that by clicking on it, you can join the PM Kisan Yojana, then do not do this even by mistake. The government never asks for personal information by sending such a link to anyone. Any such link can steal your personal information.
Do not trust social media messages
Fraudsters also resort to social media and WhatsApp. They send messages in which there is a lure to join the scheme without any conditions. Never trust such messages. Only eligible farmers can apply for this government scheme, and that too only through official methods.
How to apply for the PM Kisan Yojana
If you want to join the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana safely, then adopt these methods:
You can apply yourself by directly visiting the website pmkisan.gov.in. This is the safest and most reliable way.
You can also complete the application process by downloading the official ‘Kisan App’ on your mobile.
If you are unable to apply yourself, you can also apply by visiting your nearest Common Service Center (CSC).
Your safety, your responsibility
It is your right to avail the benefits of the PM Kisan Yojana, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not fall prey to any fraud. Always trust official sources and do not share your personal information with any unknown person.
