## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ ͪष एवं ͩकसान कãयाण राÏय मंğी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

(a) to (d): 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 farmers with cultivable land-holding. Under the scheme, a financial benefit of Rs 6,000/- per year is transferred in three equal instalments, into the Aadhaar seeded bank accounts of farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. Under the PM-KISAN Scheme, cultivable landholding is primary eligibility criteria to receive benefit of the Scheme subject to some certain exclusions relating to higher income status. A  farmer-centric  digital  infrastructure  has  ensured  the  benefits  of  the  scheme reach  all  the  farmers  across  the  country  without  involvement  of  any  intermediaries. Maintaining absolute transparency in registering and verifying beneficiaries, the Government of India has disbursed over Rs 3.90 lakh Cr. through 20 installments since inception of the Scheme.

The benefits of the Scheme are released to eligible farmers whose Aadhaar demo authentication is successful and the benefits are released via Aadhaar based payment. The instalment-wise  details  of  the  benefits  so  released  in  FY  2024-25  is  attached  at Annexure. The registration of farmers in the Scheme is an ongoing process and is open to farmers  of  all  States/UTs.  The  farmers  can  register  themselves  through  PM-KISAN Portal, PM-KISAN App, and Common Service Centers (CSCs). All such applications are approved by the concerned States/UTs after due verification. In the cases, where the required documents/details are not provided by the applicant, the application is liable to be rejected by the State/UT Governments. Once it is approved by the State/UTs, benefit is processed immediately by the Department and the same is released in the subsequent instalment.

Benefits  of  the  PM-KISAN scheme  are transferred  to the beneficiaries through Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT)  mode,  based  on  the  verified  data  received  from  the States/UTs on the PM-KISAN portal. To ease the registration process for farmers and bring  in  transparency  and efficiency in implementation  of  the  Scheme,  several technological interventions were introduced, including integration with PFMS, UIDAI, and the  Income  Tax  Department.  Further,  land  seeding  was  made  mandatory  along  with Aadhaar based payment and e-KYC. The benefits of the farmers, who did not complete these  mandatory  criteria,  were  stopped.  As  and  when  these  farmers  complete  their mandatory requirements, they receive the benefits of the scheme along with their due installments, if any.

States/UTs have been mandated to recover any amount transferred to ineligible farmers marked due to higher income groups such as income tax payees, employees of PSUs, State/Central Govt., Constitutional post holders etc. An amount of Rs. 416 Cr. has been recovered from the ineligible beneficiaries so far across the country.
