## ANSWER

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण मंũी (SHRI ARJUN MUNDA)

(a) 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 intermediaries.

O.I.H.

Maintaining  absolute  transparency  in  registering  and  verifying  beneficiaries,  the Government of India has so far disbursed over Rs. 2.81 lakh Cr to more than 11 Cr farmers in 15 instalments out of which 93,82,103 beneficiaries have been benefitted in Madhya Pradesh.

(b) The year-wise and district-wise details of amount released in Madhya Pradesh is attached at Annexure-1.

(c) In Gwalior District, as on date, 1,25,285 beneficiaries have received the benefit of PM-KISAN since inception of the Scheme.

(d)  &  (e)  As  per  operational  guidelines  of  the  Scheme,  it  is  responsibility  of  the States/UTs to identify and verify the eligible beneficiaries under the scheme. Benefits are transferred to the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer mode, on the basis of verified data received from the States/UTs on the PM-KISAN portal. To help the States/UTs for automated validation of the beneficiaries' data, PM-KISAN portal has been integrated with the portals of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for Aadhar  authentication; with  Public  Finance  Management  System  (PFMS)  for validation of account and Government employees/pensioners data; with 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.

Eligible farmers are enrolled and deceased/ineligible beneficiaries are removed by  way  of  continuous  verification  and  validation  of  the  beneficiary's  data.  The States/UTs have been provided with the option to mark beneficiaries as eligible to ineligible and vice versa, after due verification. E-KYC of all the beneficiaries is also done to verify their status. States/UTs have been asked to expedite the process for saturation of the scheme with all the eligible beneficiaries and removal of ineligible beneficiaries.

The Government has taken several initiatives such as facility of farmers' Corner on the PM Kisan portal, onboarding of over 4.0 lakh Common Service Centres across the country, 'Know Your Status' (KYS) module/ facility on the PM-KISAN portal, Kisan e-Mitra (AI Chatbot) - Farmers' digital assistance, PM-KISAN mobile application with facial authentication based eKYC, etc. to ensure that all the eligible farmers are onboarded in the PM-KISAN scheme without any hassle. Further, a saturation drive in the PM-KISAN scheme was undertaken during the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, and over 50 lakh eligible farmers have been included in the scheme.
