Millions of farmers across India have received financial assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme as the central government released its 24th installment . The latest payment was transferred directly into the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore eligible farmers through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
₹2,000 Transferred to Each Eligible Farmer
Under the 24th installment, eligible beneficiaries received ₹2,000 each. The PM-KISAN scheme provides financial assistance of ₹6,000 annually to eligible landholding farmer families through three equal installments of ₹2,000.
The financial support is intended to help farmers meet agricultural expenses, including purchasing seeds, fertilizers and other essential farming materials.
e-KYC Remains Mandatory for Beneficiaries
Farmers must complete their e-KYC to remain eligible for PM-KISAN benefits. The government has also made biometric-based e-KYC available through authorised service centres and supported digital platforms.
Beneficiaries are advised to check their payment status and eligibility details through the official PM-KISAN portal.
Some Beneficiary Payments Temporarily Withheld
The government has identified certain cases requiring additional eligibility verification. These include suspected multiple beneficiaries within the same family and certain land ownership cases.
Payments in such cases have been temporarily withheld until physical verification is completed.
PM-KISAN Continues to Support Farmers
The scheme provides annual financial assistance to eligible farming families across the country. With the 24th installment now released, beneficiaries can check their payment records and eligibility status through the official portal.
