## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ िष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) & (b): Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana, one of the largest Central Sector Scheme allows continuous registration of new beneficiaries.The  State-wise  details  of  the  eligible  beneficiaries  who  have  been benefitted after registration under the PM-KISAN Scheme is attached at Annexure.

States/UTs identify and verify the beneficiaries under the scheme. Benefits are transferred to the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer mode, on the basis of verified data received from the States/UTs on the PM-KISAN portal. Verification and validation  of  data  is  a  continuous  process  in  the  Scheme.  To  help  the  States/UTs forautomated  validation  of  the  beneficiaries'  data,  PM-KISAN  portal  has  been integrated  with  the  portals  of  Unique  Identification  Authority  of  India  (UIDAI)  for Aadhaar authentication;with Public Finance Management  System (PFMS)  for validation of account and Government employees/pensioners data;with Income Tax Department  for  validation  of  income  tax  payee  status;  and  with  National  Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) for Aadhaar based payments.

Further, Farmers can also edit their names in PM-KISAN database as per their Aadhaar card through the 'Farmers Corner' at PM-KISAN portal. The same facility is also available through CSC and the PM-KISAN mobile app.

(c): The benefits of the PM-KISAN Scheme are provided to farmer families having cultivable landholding, irrespective of Rural and Urban areas.
