    PM KISAN BENEFICIARY STATUS

    Farmers who have signed up for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana can rejoice. The central government has extended the obligatory eKYC deadline in order to take maximum benefit of the system. Now the date is extended to May 22, 2022 (instead of the former deadline of March 31, 2022).
    All landholding farmers' families will receive a financial benefit of Rs 6,000 every year under the PM-KISAN scheme, payable in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each every four months. According to the scheme's rules, a family consists of a husband, a wife and a minor child.
    Farmers registered under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana have till March 25 to update their e-KYC on the PM Kisan website, according to the Noida district administration.
    Farmer families eligible under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana will receive Rs 6,000 per year as financial benefit which is payable in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each, every four months. To receive the next instalment, eligible farmers must update their KYC.
    PM Modi launched the Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in 2018, and it has already helped a large number of eligible farmers. The beneficiaries of the PM Kisan scheme received their tenth instalment on January 1, 2022.
    In reply to a written question in Lok Sabha, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said, "an amount of more than Rs 4,352.49 crore which is 2 per cent of the total amount transferred to all the beneficiaries has been reported to have been transferred to ineligible beneficiaries".
