(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 cultivable land-holding farmers. 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.

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 3.68 lakh Cr. through 19 installments since inception. 19th installment of PM-Kisan scheme was released on 24th February, 2025 and more than 9.8 crore farmers received the benefits amounting to over Rs. 22,000 Crore.
