The Scheme is effective from 1/12/2018.

Benefits  of  the  Scheme  are  given  to  the  farmer  family.  The  family  should  own cultivable land, as per land record system of the concerned State/UT. Cut-off date for land ownership is 1 st  February  2019, except in  case of  inheritance  due to death  of  a beneficiary. There is an exclusion criterion in place for eligibility under the Scheme that pertains to higher income category.

O.I.H.

As per the Operational Guidelines of the Scheme, States/UTs identify and verify the  eligible  farmers  before  uploading  the  data  on  PM-KISAN  Portal.  Benefits  are transferred  to  the  eligible  beneficiaries  through  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  mode  after validation  of  the  uploaded  data  on  PM-KISAN  Portal  which  has  been  integrated  with UIDAI portal for Aadhaar authentication, Public Finance Management System (PFMS) for  validation  of  account  and  Government  employees/pensioners  data,  Income  Tax Department  for  validation  of  income  tax  payee  status  and  with  National  Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) for account validation and Aadhaar based payments.

After due verification, benefits are transferred to the intended beneficiaries of the Scheme in their Aadhaar seeded bank accounts.
