PM-KISAN (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi)
PM-KISAN pays ₹6,000 a year to eligible landholding farmer families, transferred directly to a bank account in three instalments of ₹2,000. There is no repayment and no condition on how the money is used — it is income support, intended to cover part of a season's input costs. Registration is done once, but instalments stop if e-KYC is not completed or if the Aadhaar-linked bank account details do not match, and this is the single most common reason a registered farmer stops receiving payments. Higher-income taxpayers, institutional landholders and certain categories of government pensioners and office-holders are excluded.
