Will the Minister of AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्री be pleased to state:

- (a)    whether  the  Government  is  cognizant  that  the  inclusion  of  ineligible  persons  on  the beneficiary list of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme raises concerns and defeats the very purpose of the scheme for which it was launched; and
- (b)  if so, the details of the corrective steps that are proposed to be taken by the Government to exclude better-off farmers from the beneficiary list?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ षि एवं षकसान कल्याण मंत्री (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a)  &  (b):  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Samman  Nidhi  (PM-KISAN)  is  a  central  sector  scheme launched on 24 th  February 2019 to supplement the financial needs of land-holding farmers. Under this scheme, the financial benefit of Rs 6,000/- per year in three equal instalments every four  months  is  transferred  into  the  bank  accounts  of  farmers'  families  across  the  country through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode.

Benefits under the scheme are transferred to all the landholding farmer families except those falling  under  exclusion  criteria  as  per  the  guidelines  of  the  scheme.  The  responsibility  of verifying the eligibility of farmers lies with the respective State/UT Govt.  A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the eligible farmers across the country without any involvement of the middlemen, maintaining absolute transparency from registration to delivery of the benefit.  So far, Government of India has disbursed over Rs 2.60 Lakhs Crores to more than 11 Cr farmers families.

PM-KISAN  utilizes  technology  to  improve  its  implementation  and  administration  of scheme. Since the launch of the PM-KISAN scheme, it has been centered on using technology to ensure that all eligible farmers get the benefit of the scheme. To this end, the scheme has continually evolved by integrating various systems including use of Digital Public Goods such as authentication through Aadhaar, Aadhaar based payment system, Income tax and PFMS verification, Pensioner data in PMFS, land records as per the Record of Rights. These efforts helped  the  Government  to  weed  out  the  farmers  belonging  to  the  exclusion  criteria  of  the scheme such as farmers with high-income, pensioners, registered professionals, Government employees, etc.
