PM Kisan Scheme: 4 Million Farmers in UP Await First Installment

PM Kisan scheme which was even extended further to include all 145 million farmers is yet to provide the benefits to more than 4 million farmers that are awaiting their first installment. Sources said that it’s because payments have been put on hold for accounts that were identified with data discrepancies or linked to non-public financial management system (PFMS) compliant banks.

As of today, only 11 million farmers in the country have received the first installment of ₹2,000 in their bank accounts. A senior government official said that the issue of releasing the payments for other farmers has been taken up with the central government and that a resolution shall be achieved soon.
