New Delhi. Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi is one of the important schemes of the Government of India. Under this scheme, the government provides financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. This is such a scheme of the government, in which money is sent directly to the account of farmers. 6,000 rupees are transferred annually in the account of every farmer. The government sends this money in 3 equal installments, that is, the central government transfers 2,000 thousand rupees in every installment.

Let us tell you that the first installment under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi is released between April 1 and July 31. The second installment is released between August 1 and November 30. Whereas the third installment comes between December 1 and March 31. The last 11th installment was released on May 31, 2022. Then the Modi government at the Center had transferred Rs 21,000 crore to 10 crore eligible farmers of the country. Now the 12th installment can be sent to the farmers' account anytime between September and November.

E-KYC has been made mandatory to take advantage of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The last date for e-KYC was extended from July 31 to August 31, with the condition that by this date all the farmers taking benefits complete the necessary process related to e-KYC. In such a situation, if you are a beneficiary of PM Kisan Yojana and you are not able to get e-KYC done, then the installment money can get stuck. At the same time, the deadline for updating e-KYC has not been extended by the government.
