## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI BHAGIRATH CHOUDHARY)

(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 farmers with cultivable land-holding. 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 number of beneficiaries in the country who received the benefit of 21 st  instalment period (August 2025-November 2025) is 9,35,55,232.

(c): All beneficiaries under PM-KISAN are Aadhaar authenticated. Further, all the payments are made through Aadhaar Based Payment System mode directly into the bank account seeded with beneficiaries' Aadhaar. This payment process does not use the  bank  account  numbers.  The  Department  regularly  conduct  focused  saturation drives in coordination with States/UTs, Common Service Centres (CSCs), and India Post  Payments  Bank (IPPB)  to  facilitate  Aadhaar  seeding  of  bank  accounts.  Also, farmers  are  intimated  through  SMS  for  Aadhaar  seeding  of  their  bank  accounts  to ensure uninterrupted disbursement of benefits under PM-KISAN.

(d): In Uttar Pradesh, the number of beneficiaries who received the benefit of 21 st instalment period (August 2025-November 2025)  is 2,15,54,124. Further, an amount of  ₹  94,673  Crore  has  been  disbursed  to  the  beneficiaries  of  Uttar  Pradesh  since inception of the scheme. Till 05/03/2026, the district-wise, total amount disbursed is given at Annexure - I.
