One of the many government schemes running in the country is the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The benefit of this scheme is directly given to those eligible farmers who are financially weak, needy, or come from the poor class, etc. Therefore, in this scheme, eligible farmers are given a benefit of Rs 6 thousand annually, and this money is given in three installments of Rs 2-2 thousand every four months, but amidst all this, farmers need to beware of fraudsters. These fraudsters can cheat the farmers in the name of installment. Therefore, you have to take special care of some things. So let's know what are these things which are important to take care of. You can know about this in the next slides...

To avoid fraud, you can keep these things in mind:-

Never give OTP to anyone

You have to keep in mind that fraudsters can cheat you in the name of getting the stuck installment, in the name of applying for PM Kisan Yojana, or in the name of anything else. For this, they can ask you for the OTP received on your mobile, but keep in mind that never give OTP to anyone. Otherwise, you can be cheated.

Do not trust the call coming in the name of installment

Recently the 17th installment was released in which 9.26 crore eligible farmers got the benefit, but there were many farmers whose installment was stuck. In such a situation, fraudsters are calling such people and cheating them in the name of getting the stuck installment. So never trust any unknown call. If you have any problem or need any information, you can contact PM Kisan Samman Nidhi's helpline number 155261/011-24300606. This helpline is available on all working days from 9.30 am to 6 pm.

Fake website or app

Fraudsters send APK apps to their mobile phones by luring them with installments to cheat people. Not only this, people are also cheated through many fake websites. So never click on any fake app or website. Always visit pmkisan.gov.in for the official website of the scheme.

Beware of greed

People who are not associated with PM Kisan Yojana can be cheated in the name of linking them to it in the wrong way. So know that only those who are eligible for the scheme can join this scheme. So avoid getting into anyone's words and stay away from fraud.
