PM Kisan Scheme: Attention! 33 lakh fake farmers found, gave a shock of 2100 crores to Modi government. So now the beneficiaries will be investigated, an FIR will be lodged.
The central government has decided to deal with those taking advantage of the Pradhan mantri kisan samman nidhi scheme in a fake way. So that money can be recovered and its benefits reach the real farmers. In this series, many states have started strict action against such beneficiaries. An FIR has been registered in Karnataka by identifying 2,03,819 lakh fake registrations.
There are more than 6 lakh fake registrations in Tamil Nadu. The state government has recovered Rs 158.57 crore from them. Officers have been suspended by registering 16 FIRs here. More than a hundred arrests have been made. An FIR has been filed in a similar case in 2 districts of Gujarat. The ID of 55 suspects has been disabled here. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has given information about these actions in the House.
How many ineligible farmers
There are about 33 lakh farmers in the country who are not eligible for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. Nevertheless, he has taken a profit of Rs 2326 crore. Out of this, only Rs 231 crore has been recovered. That is, 2095 crores are still trapped. Not a single rupee has been recovered from 17 states including Uttar Pradesh. In such a situation, the government has asked to speed up physical verification and emphasize on recovery. So that the real farmers get its money. There will be an FIR against the farmers who do not pay the money.
It is the effort of the Modi government that only the real farmers get the benefit of the Rs 6000 PM Kisan Scheme. Money taken incorrectly will be withdrawn. Another arrangement has been made to make everything clean. Now to verify the eligibility of the beneficiaries, there will be physical verification of 5 percent farmers. The Agriculture Ministry has said that the process of verification will be done under the leadership of the District Collector.
Return the money yourself or else…
Therefore, if you are taking money with wrong information, then be careful. Either you will be caught in 5% physical verification or otherwise money will be withdrawn from your account. The government is trying to get the money into the hands of the eligible people. According to Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, some such incidents have been reported from the states where the identity of block and district level officials has been misused to approve the applications of ineligible farmers.
This way money will be withdrawn
The Union Ministry of Agriculture has written a letter to the states, saying that if ineligible people get information about benefits, then how will their money be returned. If money is transferred to the accounts of ineligible people, it will be withdrawn from Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Banks will put this money in a separate account and return it to the state government. State governments will withdraw money from the ineligible and deposit it in https://bharatkosh.gov.in/. The names of such people will be removed before the next installment is released.

Verification system
There is a system for verification at the district level. The Ministry wants the nodal officers of this scheme to regularly monitor the verification process in the states. If necessary, an external agency can also be involved in this work. Only those who have received benefits will be verified.
Verification process
Aadhaar verification of beneficiaries’ data has also been made mandatory. If the concerned agency does not get Aadhaar similarity in the details received, then the concerned states or union territories will have to improve or change the information of those beneficiaries. Under the scheme, the process of transaction of money has been made more difficult by modifying the transaction. The process of verification has been adopted so that such an incident does not happen again.
