PM Kisan Money Stopped for Some Farmers – Real Reason Revealed
Farmers across India are eagerly waiting for the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. The central government is set to release the funds today (March 13) in the evening. However, there is important news for beneficiaries.
The government has decided to stop PM Kisan payments for some farmers due to rule violations and incomplete verification. As part of the latest review, thousands of ineligible beneficiaries have already been removed from the scheme.
Why PM Kisan Money Is Being Stopped
The central government has identified several irregularities in the scheme. Many beneficiaries were found receiving funds against the official rules.
Some common reasons include:
1. Multiple Family Members Receiving Benefits
In several cases, both husband and wife from the same family were receiving PM Kisan benefits simultaneously. According to the scheme rules, only one eligible farmer per family can receive the financial assistance.
Authorities also discovered instances where minors were registered as beneficiaries, which is not allowed.
Because of these violations, the government has removed lakhs of names from the beneficiary list.
2. eKYC Not Completed
Another major reason for payment suspension is pending eKYC verification.
The government has repeatedly instructed beneficiaries to complete Aadhaar-based eKYC. However, lakhs of farmers have still not completed the process.
As a result, the 22nd installment has been stopped for farmers who have not completed eKYC.
3. Suspicious Accounts Under Verification
The Ministry of Agriculture has also flagged several accounts with suspicious details.
Benefits for such accounts are temporarily suspended until physical verification is completed. Once verification confirms that the farmer is eligible, the pending installment amount will be credited to their bank account.
When Will Farmers Receive the 22nd Installment?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 22nd installment of PM Kisan funds at 5 PM today.
Eligible farmers will receive the payment directly in their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
