PM Kisan Samman Nidhi: The situation is not yet clear on the 11th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. E-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer, e-KYC) is being done by the government for the eligible farmers of the scheme.
In such a situation, many farmers are confused whether the 11th installment should be late or the 11th-12th installment will be available together. But now the Bihar government has given a big update on e-KYC and 11th installment.
11th installment will not be affected!
Let us tell you that there are 85 lakh eligible farmers of Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi in Bihar. Out of these, 36 lakh farmers have not got e-KYC done yet.
In the event of non-conduct of e-KYC, it has been made clear by the Government of Bihar that due to this, farmers will not face any problem in getting money. With this it is believed that in other states also, if farmers do not have e-KYC, the 11th installment will not be affected.
State governments sent the list to the Ministry of Agriculture
After the green signal of the Center in Bihar, the list of 83 lakh farmers has been sent to the Ministry of Agriculture. Here a proposal for payment of Rs 1647 crore has been sent from the Agriculture Department. Let us tell you that the money of the 10th installment was transferred to the farmers’ account in January.
11th installment will come in second week
It is being claimed in media reports that the money for the 11th installment can be sent around May 14-15. In the year 2021, the money came on 15 May. Request for Transfer (RFT) of eligible farmers has also been signed in many states. This means that the request has been sent to transfer money from the state side.
Last date for conducting e-KYC is 31st May
In fact, it has come to the notice of the government that some ineligible farmers are also taking advantage of the PM Kisan Fund from the government. In such a situation, e-KYC is being done. Earlier, the date of 31 March was fixed for this. But later it was increased to 31 May.
