As part of the PM-KISAN scheme, the landholding farmer families are given a financial benefit of Rs 6,000 per annum, payable in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000.
The Centre last time released the 13th instalment of the scheme on February 27, 2023. Many beneficiaries could not receive the amount because of incomplete verification. Several farmers have now got their verification process completed and would now get Rs 4,000 instead of Rs 2,000.
