PM Kisan Yojana: Can both farmer husband and wife apply in the scheme and avail the benefit of the 17th installment? Know the rules

Crores of farmers across the country are taking advantage of the ambitious scheme of the Government of India, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, the Government of India is providing financial assistance of Rs 6 thousand every year to the poor farmers in the country. This financial assistance of Rs 6 thousand is released in the form of three installments annually. Under each installment, an amount of two thousand rupees is transferred directly to the farmers' account. So far, a total of 16 installments of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana have been released. After the release of the 16th installment, crores of farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the 17th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

At the same time, many farmers want to know whether both farmer husband and wife in a family can apply together in the scheme and avail the benefit of the 17th installment? If you also want to know about this, then today through this news we are going to tell you about this.

Both farmer husband and wife in a family cannot take advantage of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana together. The benefit of this scheme is given to only one member of a family. The benefit of the scheme is given to that member in the family in whose name the land is registered.

If both farmer husband and wife in a family apply for the scheme together, then the application of the person in whose name the land is not registered will be canceled. If you are taking advantage of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, then you need to know about this information.

When can the 17th installment come
If media reports are to be believed, the central government can release the 17th installment in June or July after the results of the Lok Sabha elections are released. However, no official announcement has been made by the government about this yet.

Many people in the country are taking advantage of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in the wrong way. For this reason, the government has made e-KYC and land records verification mandatory in the scheme. If you have not done these two important tasks till now, then to avail the benefits of the scheme, you should complete these two important tasks as soon as possible.
