Prime Minister Narendra Modi deposited the amount of the 15th installment of PM Kisan Yojana in the accounts of more than 8 crore farmers on 15 November 2023. The government had sent this amount through DBT. After receiving the 15th installment, the question in the minds of the farmers is when will the government release the money for the 16th installment? It is believed that the Central Government may release the amount for the 16th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme between February 2024 and March 2024.

The 15th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has not come into the accounts of many farmers. The main reason for not receiving the money for the 15th installment could be the non-completion of e-KYC. If you want to take advantage of the 15th installment, then you should get your e-KYC done in the scheme soon. There can be many other reasons for money not coming into farmers' accounts.

Who gets the benefit of Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
To avail of the benefits of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a farmer must be a citizen of India. Apart from this, one must be the owner of the land. The total land area owned by the farmer should not be more than 2 hectares. Apart from this, no member of the family should be in a government job. Along with this, the income of the farmer's family should not exceed Rs 2 lakh.

Farmers who did not apply have not received the amount for the 15th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Apart from this, the farmers whose applications have not been accepted have also not received money. Farmers who did not fulfill the eligibility criteria of the scheme were also deprived of the benefits. Even the farmers who violated the conditions of the scheme have not received the amount in their accounts.

If this happens, you will not get the money for the 16th installment.
If you are eligible for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and still are not getting the benefit, then check your name in the beneficiary list on the official website of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

If your name is not on the beneficiary list, then you should apply for Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. You can apply by visiting the official website of the scheme. If you do not apply, you will not get the benefit of even the 16th installment.
