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

(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  eligible beneficiaries are identified and  verified by the State after their registration on the PM-KISAN System. Again, at the time of release of every instalment, the States are given the opportunity to verify the list of beneficiaries and ensure that no eligible beneficiary  is  left  out.  Only  after  this  exercise  is  done  by  the  State  and  a  signed  RFT (Request  for  Fund  Transfer)  is  submitted  by  the  State,  the  funds  are  transferred  to  the beneficiaries  of  the  State.  The  instalment-wise  details  of  farmers  benefited  and  amount released to them according to the RFT signed by the State of Manipur since inception is as follows:
