Farmers registered under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan) risk losing their next installment of ₹2000 if they fail to complete mandatory farmer registration under the Agristack initiative. This registration is now essential to ensure continued benefits under the scheme.
Why Farmer Registration is Crucial
The Agristack initiative, a digital public infrastructure for agriculture, requires farmers to register themselves to streamline verification, welfare scheme implementation, and beneficiary identification. Without this step, farmers may face disruptions not only in receiving their PM Kisan installment but also in accessing other benefits like:
- Subsidies on seeds, fertilizers, and equipment.
- Access to Kisan Credit Cards for crop loans.
- Crop insurance and disaster compensation during droughts or floods.
- Financial aid like the Kisan Accident Insurance Scheme and grants for sugarcane farmers.
Benefits of Farmer Registration
- Simplified Processes: Registration eliminates the need for repetitive submission of revenue records.
- Enhanced Access: Enables seamless access to agricultural welfare programs and financial support.
- Efficient Verification: Speeds up verification for benefits like subsidies, loans, and disaster compensation.
Current Status of PM Kisan Yojana
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6000 annually in three installments via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The 18th installment was distributed in October. To continue receiving future installments, farmers must complete their registration.
What Farmers Need to Do
Farmers must attend registration camps organized in their villages and complete the required formalities to ensure uninterrupted benefits. Without registration, they risk losing not only the ₹2000 installment but also access to other government schemes.
