According to a PIB release, 9.34 crore farmers in India would receive ₹2,000 each, totalling ₹18,690 crore. Under the scheme, each farmer receives ₹6,000 in three installments annually. The first installment is released between April and July, the second between August and November, and the third between December and March. What to do if the installment has not arrived? If you are facing any issues with the registration of this scheme, or if there is any problem related to your installment, or any other questions, you need to visit the help desk “Farmer Corner” on the official website of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

Eligible beneficiaries of the scheme can also register through Common Service Centers (CSC). In addition, local patwaris, revenue officers, and nodal officers designated by the state government for the scheme are registering farmers. Initially, only small and marginal farmers benefited: When the PM-Kisan scheme was launched (February 2019), its benefits were only for families of small and marginal farmers. It included those farmers who had a combined land holding of up to 2 hectares. The scheme was revised in June 2019 and its scope was expanded. However, some farmers are still excluded from this scheme. Those excluded from PM Kisan include institutional landholders, farmer families holding constitutional posts, serving or retired officers and employees of the state or central government. This also includes officers and employees of public sector undertakings and government autonomous bodies. In addition to these, professionals such as doctors, engineers, and lawyers, as well as retired pensioners with a monthly pension of more than ₹10,000 and those who paid income tax in the previous assessment year, are also excluded from this scheme. pm kisan ‘pm kisan’ was trending on Google as government of India released over ₹18,000 crore in a single installment for more than 9 crore farmers.
