## ANSWER

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

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

- (a) & (b): A  Statement  showing  State/UT-wise  number  of  beneficiaries  successfully registered  on  PM-Kisan  Portal  and  who  have  received  the  financial  benefits  under  the Scheme till date is enclosed at Annexure-I.
- (c) & (d): Yes, Sir. The Government has extended the PM-KISAN Scheme to all farmers in  the  country,  irrespective  of  the  size  of  their  landholdings,  subject  to  all  other  existing exclusion criteria relating for higher income strata. For calculating the total number of eligible farmers in the country, the projections of landholding farmers' data of Agricultural Census 2015-16 for the year 2018-19 have been utilized, as per which the total number of projected

landholdings  are 15,11,46,000 .      The  State/UT-wise  projections  are  given  in  Annexure-II (Column-IV). After exclusions, the approximate total number of Small and Marginal Farmer beneficiaries as per the original Scheme beneficiaries had been taken as 12.50 crores. In the same way, the approximate total number of beneficiaries under the revised Scheme has been taken as 14.50 crores. Initially Rs.75000 crore was allocated for the Scheme for the financial  year  2019-20.    With  expansion  of  the  ambit  of  the  scheme,  the  expected expenditure of the Scheme for the financial year 2019-20 has been revised to Rs.87,217.50 crore, including the administrative charges of Rs.217.50 crore.

Further, the Government has approved a pension scheme for all Small and Marginal Farmers (SMF) in the country, subject to certain exclusion clauses, with a view to provide them social security net as they have minimal or no savings to provide for old age and to support  them  in  the  event  of  consequent  loss  of  livelihood.  The  scheme  provides  for payment  of  a  minimum  fixed  pension  of  Rs.3,000/-  per  month  to  the  eligible  farmers  on attaining the age of 60 years. It is a voluntary and contributory pension scheme, with entry age  of  18  to  40  years.  The  beneficiary  can  opt  to  become  member  of  the  Scheme  by subscribing  to  a  Pension  Fund,  managed  by  the  Life  Insurance  Corporation  (LIC).  The farmers  have  the  option  to  allow  his/her  voluntary  contribution  to  the  Scheme  from  the benefit  drawn  by him/her on account of PM-KISAN  Scheme  directly.  The  Central Government's  share  is  50%  of  the  monthly  contribution.  For  example,  the  beneficiary  is required to  contribute Rs100/ - per month in the pension fund at median entry age of 29 years,  with  matching  contribution  of  Rs.100  by  the  Central  Government.  On  death  of  the subscriber,  the  spouse  /  heir  may  continue  to  subscribe  to  the  Scheme.  On  death  of  the pensioner  farmers,  his  /  her  spouse  is  entitled  to  receive  50%  of  the  pension  as  family pension,  provided  he/she  is  not  already  an  SMF  beneficiary  of  the  Scheme.  The  data  of original  PM-Kisan  Scheme  of  12.5  crores  Small  and  Marginal  Farmers  (Annexure-II, Column-III) has been taken as the basis for arriving at the total number of beneficiaries for pension scheme. After exclusions, t he net beneficiaries in the prescribed age group of 1840 years are expected to be about 5 crore farmers.
