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

- (a): The estimated number of farmers targeted to reach out for benefit under PM Kisan Saman Nidhi Yojana based on Agri Census 2015-16 is about 14 crore.
- (b): Budget  Allocation  of  Rs.75000  crore  has  been  made  in  the  current  financial  year 2019-2020 under PM Kisan Saman Nidhi Yojana.
- (c): A statement of farmers benefitted under PM Kisan Scheme, gender and State-wise is at Annexure.
- (d): Registration  of  farmers  for  this  scheme  and  subsequent  installment-wise  transfer  of benefits to them is a continuous and ongoing process.The transfer of benefits to the identified eligible beneficiaries takes place as and when their correct and verified data are uploaded by the concerned State / UT Governments on PM-Kisan web-portal www.pmkisan.gov.in.

The  data  of  beneficiaries      uploaded  by  the  State  /  UT  Governments  undergoes  a multi-level  verification  and  validation  by  various  concerned  agencies,  including  the  banks, which includes rejection of data for errors at various levels and re-uploading of error-free data by  the  State  /  UT  Governments.  Thereafter  only  the  amount  is  transferred  into  the  bank accounts  of  the  beneficiaries.  This  entire process  is  replicated  for transfer  of  every installment.

The  reasons  for  non-payment  of  benefits  to  the  eligible  farmer  families  include mismatch of names in land records and Aadhaar Cards, failure in Account validation at the PFMS level due to reasons like wrong Account number, wrong IFSC etc. To release benefits to  these  farmer  families,  the  State/UT  Governments  have  been  requested  to  furnish corrected  data.  In  addition,  the  facility  of  Aadhaar  correction  by  the  beneficiary  has  been provided  on  the  PM-KISAN  portal  and  for  this  purpose,  Common Service  Centres  (CSCs) have also been authorized to make corrections.
