What is the PM-KISAN scheme?
The PM-KISAN is a central sector scheme which has been operational since 2018 to provide essential welfare to landholding farmers in India. A total of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 every four months are transferred directly into the registered bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
For registration, some documents are essential to submit if farmers have completed the KYC formalities, Aadhaar seeding and other required papers mentioned on the official website. To apply for the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, visit the official PM-Kisan website and click "New Farmer Registration" in the "Farmers Corner," or visit a Common Service Centre (CSC).
Taking the urgency for financial support for seeds, equipment and fertilisers for small and marginal farmers, the scheme has been introduced by the government.
