## ANSWER

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

PM-KISAN is a continuous and ongoing Scheme under which the funds are transferred directly  to  the  bank  accounts  of  the  beneficiaries  through  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT).  The process  of  benefit  disbursement  under  the  Scheme  starts  with  the  State/UT  Governments identifying  the  eligible  beneficiaries  as  per  the  Operational  Guidelines  of  the  Scheme  and uploading the data thereof on the PM-KISAN portal. Once the data of the beneficiary have been uploaded on the PM-KISAN portal, it goes through multiple levels of  validations  verifying the correctness of Aadhaar and bank account details. If the validation of the data fails at any level, the data is sent back to the respective State/UT Government for correction. When the data has been corrected  and  passed  all  levels  of  validation,  the  payment  to  the  bank  accounts  of  the beneficiaries is made through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode.

Sponsored bank of the State/UT Government remits the fund into the accounts of individual beneficiary through the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) platform. In the process, sometimes transaction  fails  due  to  failure  of  validation  of  accounts  by  PFMS,  wrong  account number, closure of accounts etc. To make the transaction successful, further attempts are made after the necessary correction/validation of bank accounts.

A  statement  showing  the  payments  failed  while  transferring  installments  of  PM  Kisan Scheme is at Annexure.
