Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM KISAN) is a Central Sector scheme with 100% funding from Government of India. The Scheme is effective from 1.12.2018.
Under the PM Kisan Scheme an income support of Rs.6000/- per year is provided to all farmer families across the country in three equal instalments of Rs.2000/- each every four months.
The fund is directly transferred to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. Farmers can also do their self-registration through the Farmers Corner in the portal. The Common Service Centres (CSCs) have also been authorised to do registration of the farmers for the Scheme upon payment of fees.
