How much money do farmers currently receive?
Currently, under the PM Kisan Yojana, farmers receive Rs 2000 three times a year. This money is transferred directly to their bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). Millions of farmers across the country are connected to this scheme.
Will the PM Kisan Yojana amount be increased?
There has been much discussion for some time that the government might increase the amount given under the PM Kisan Yojana from Rs 6000 to Rs 12000 annually. In December 2024, a parliamentary committee also suggested this to the government.
Recently, a question was asked on this issue in the Rajya Sabha. In response, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ramnath Thakur, clarified that currently, the government has no proposal to increase this amount. This means that farmers will continue to receive Rs 6000 annually for now.
