The PM-Kisan scheme provides a financial benefit of Rs. 6000 per annum to all landholding farmers' families, payable in three equal instalments of Rs. 2000 each every four months. Eligible farmers must have cultivable land in their name and have completed their PM-Kisan eKYC process by August 31, 2022 to receive the 12th instalment amount.

pm-kisan scheme eligibility
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, all landholding farmers' families are eligible to obtain the benefits. The landholder farmers' family is defined under the scheme guidelines as a family consisting of a husband, wife and minor children who own cultivable land as per the land records of the respective state or UT. Farmers from both rural and urban regions can be enlisted under the Pradhanmantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Institutional landholders, farmer families with one or more members who filed income tax in the previous Assessment Year (AY) or receive a pension of Rs.10,000 or more every month, present or retired officers and employees of state/central government as well as PSUs and government autonomous bodies are excluded from this initiative. There is no distinction between rural and urban cultivable land under the scheme. Thus, both farmers situated in rural and urban areas are covered under the scheme provided that they own cultivable lands.
