PM Kisan Latest News: This is a shock for four crore beneficiaries out of 12 crore farmers registered under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The government saved about Rs 46 thousand crore in four installments.
PM Kisan New: The 15th installment of PM Kisan will come into the accounts of farmers after two days i.e. on 15th November. PM Narendra Modi himself will directly transfer the installment of Rs 2000 to the accounts of 8 crore farmers. This is a setback for four crore beneficiaries out of 12 crore farmers registered under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. By restricting the ineligible candidates, the government saved about Rs 46 thousand crore in four installments (including the 15th).
Out of the last 14 installments, maximum 11 crore 27 lakh 90 thousand 289 farmers got the benefit of the scheme in April-July 2022-23. After this, the central and state governments started tightening their grip on the beneficiaries who were taking advantage of this scheme in a fake or wrong way.
Due to the strictness, the number of beneficiaries decreased by more than two crores to only 9 crores in August-November 2022-23. According to the data given on the PM Kisan portal, the December-March 2022-23 installment of PM Kisan was sent to the accounts of only 8.81 crore farmers. After this, 9.53 crore farmers could get the 14th installment or rather the April-July installment.
Earlier more than 11-11 crore farmers were taking benefits
The numbers started declining after the central government implemented eKYC and village-to-village verification of beneficiaries by state governments. Earlier, 11.27 crore farmer families in April-July 2022-23, 11.16 crore in December-March 2021-22, 11.19 crore in August-November 2021-22 and also 11.19 crore farmer families in April-July 2021-22 under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Had taken advantage of.
Government saved Rs 46 thousand crore from ineligible people
If seen from this perspective, from the eighth to the 11th installment, the Central Government deposited approximately Rs 89.6 thousand crores in the accounts of the farmers. This also includes ineligible people. After strictness, the government released only Rs 35.35 thousand crore through the last 3 installments.
If we add Rs 8000 crore to be given on 15th November, this amount will become Rs 43.35 thousand crore. That is, by stopping fraud in PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the government will save about Rs 46 thousand crores.
