## STATEMENT  MADE  IN  REPLY  TO  PART  (a)  TO  (c)  OF  LOK  SABHA  STARRED QUESTION NO. 129 REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF PM-KISAN RAISED BY SMT. JUNE MALIAH, MP DUE FOR REPLY ON 9 TH  DECEMBER, 2025

(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 farmers with cultivable landholding. Under the scheme, a financial benefit of ₹ 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 certain exclusions relating to higher economic 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 ₹ 4.09 lakh Cr. through 21 installments since inception of the Scheme. The Farmer ID has been made mandatory for only new registrations under PM-KISAN in 14 States where farmer registry work has been commenced.  In states where the farmer registry work has not yet started, farmers can register without Farmer ID.

(b): The  farmer  registration  process  has  started  in  14  states;  the  state-wise  data  of farmers in these states who have not yet registered for Farmer's ID is given at Annexure.

(c): To  ensure  that  no  eligible  farmer  left  out  from  Farmer  ID,  the  Government  has enabled multiple farmer registration modes, including self-registration through mobile and web applications. Farmers can also generate their farmer IDs by availing the services of Farmers Producer Organisations (FPOs), Krishi Sakhis, Common Service Centres (CSCs) and state government institutions. Additionally, a grievance mechanism is in place through which farmers can register their issues related to land or name mismatch which enables them to register for Farmer ID. Systems to create Farmer IDs of successor farmers in case of out dated land records and for those farmers that have community based land ownership are in place.
