The Centre is all set to release the 14th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana (Scheme) on Thursday, which is meant for small and marginal farmers. PM Narendra Modi will release the installment to over 8.5 crore farmers and interact with them on July 27, 2023, in Sikar, Rajasthan.
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PMKSN) is a central initiative that gives financial support of up to Rs 6,000 per year to landholding farmers and their families. The initiative was announced by Piyush Goyal during the 2019 Interim Union Budget on February 1, 2019. Under the scheme, the Centre takes the entire financial liability towards transfer of benefit to targeted beneficiaries.
All landholding farmers' families, which have cultivable landholding in their names, are eligible to get benefit under the scheme.
How to check payment
The Centre has said that the payment of upcoming 14th installment under PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana will be done in Aadhaar and NPCI-linked bank account.
For the NPCI-linked bank account, beneficiaries can go to the local post office and open a new (DBT Enabled) account in the India Post Payment Bank (IPPB) in order to receive the next installment.
The beneficiaries should complete their eKYC in order to receive the benefits of the 14th payment.
