STATEMENT MADE IN REPLY TO PART (a) TO (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 56 REGARDING ENHANCEMENT OF FUNDS UNDER PM-KISAN RAISED BY DR. JAYANTA KUMAR ROY, MP and SHRIMATI SANGEETA KUMARI SINGH DEO, MP DUE FOR REPLY ON 06 TH  FEBRUARY, 2024.

(a) & (b): The PM-KISAN scheme is a central sector scheme launched in February 2019 by the Hon'ble Prime Minister 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.  The  PM-KISAN scheme is one of the largest DBT Schemes of the World.

A farmer-centric digital infrastructure has ensured the benefits of the scheme reach all the farmers across the country without any involvement of the middlemen. Maintaining absolute transparency in registering and verifying beneficiaries, the Government of India has disbursed over Rs 2.81 lakh Cr to more than 11 Cr farmers in 15 instalments, so far.

The State/UT-wise and year-wise number of beneficiaries and the benefits released to them, is available at Annexure.

(c) to (e):

No proposal is under consideration.
