The purpose behind all the schemes run by the government is to directly benefit the needy and poor class. If you also want to take advantage of these schemes, then it becomes necessary that you are eligible for that scheme. For example, look at the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, only those farmers get the benefit of installment who are eligible. The government gives a benefit of 6 thousand rupees to the farmers every year and this money is given in three installments of 2-2 thousand rupees. In this sequence, the next installment i.e. the 18th installment is also to be released, but do you know when this installment can be released? So let's try to know. You can learn about this in the next slides...

How many installments have come so far?

Actually, under the PM Kisan Yojana, an installment of 2-2 thousand rupees is given to the eligible farmers every four months. A total of 17 installments have been released in this scheme so far and more than 9 crore farmers got the benefit of the 17th installment.

Can the 18th installment be released in October?

The farmers associated with the scheme are waiting for the 18th installment. In such a situation, everyone wants to know when this installment can be released. However, it has not been officially announced when the installment will be released. Therefore, farmers may have to wait a little longer.

But if the rules are to be believed, the government can release this installment in October. Every installment given under the scheme comes at an interval of four months. In such a situation, the 17th installment was released in June and according to this, the time of 4 months for the 18th installment is being completed in October. Therefore, it is believed that the installment can be released in October.

Can the number of beneficiaries decrease?

The number of beneficiaries under the PM Kisan Yojana keeps increasing and decreasing every time. The main reason behind this is that farmers who do not get work like e-KYC, land verification, or Aadhaar linking done or who are ineligible, etc. The names of such farmers are removed from the beneficiary list.
