## MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

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

(a) & (b): The responsibility of identification of eligible farmer families and uploading their correct  detail  on  the  webportal  www.pmkisan.gov.in for  getting  the  benefits  under  the PMKISAN  Scheme  rests  with  the  concerned  State/UT  Government.  The  benefits  under  the Scheme are  transferred  directly  to  the  bank  accounts  of  the  beneficiaries  after  receipt  of corrected  details  of  farmer  families  verified  by  the  States/UTs  and  their  validation  through Aadhaar/PFMS.  In  respect  of  any  error,  data  are  sent  to  concerned  states/UTs  for  their corrections and further processing so that benefit could be passed to them.

To further  facilitate  registration  of  farmers,  an  exclusive  'Farmers  Corner'  has  been provided  in  the  PM-KISAN  Web-portal  through  which  the  farmers  can  do  their  selfregistration. Farmers can also edit their names in PM-Kisan database as per their Aadhaar Card  through  the  Farmers  Corner.  Farmers  can  also  know  the  status  of  their  payment through the Farmers Corner. The village-wise names of the beneficiaries are also available in the Farmers Corner. Common Service Centres (CSCs) have also been authorized to assist the farmers in performing the above tasks.

The  State/UT  Governments  have  been  requested  to  organize  Publicity/Awareness Camps to ensure expeditious Aadhaar authentication of the data of the beneficiaries along with new registrations and correction of already registered data.

States/UTs have been requested to ensure that no eligible farmer family is left out and the  progress  of  implementation  of  the  Scheme  is  regularly  monitored  through  weekly meetings through Video Conferences.

(c): The State-wise details of farmer families registered under PM-KISAN who have not been given any installment are given at Annexure.
