In the last few years, the government has launched many initiatives and schemes to help farmers in the country. PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one such scheme. Under this scheme, every year an amount of Rs. 6000 is transferred to the bank accounts of eligible farmers.
The government has so far released 10 installments under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The last installment was released on 1 January 2022 and now government is preparing to disburse the 11th installment. According to the latest report, the Centre can release the installment and transfer money to farmers’ bank account anytime. However, due to changes in rules many farmers may not get the 11th installment.
In the last few days, the government has identified many ineligible farmers taking benefit of the scheme. There are many people who even became fake farmers to get this amount.
