PM-KISAN scheme

Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible farmer families receive ₹6,000 annually, paid in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each at intervals of about four months. The amount is transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.

How payments are processed

The PM-KISAN scheme follows an online verification process before funds are released.

State and Union Territory governments upload details of eligible farmers on the PM-KISAN portal. Farmers can register through village-level officials such as Patwaris, revenue officials or other authorised officers by submitting the required documents.

The submitted information is verified by state authorities before being processed by agencies including the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) and banks.

Once the verification is complete, State Nodal Officers initiate the fund transfer request. PFMS generates the fund transfer order, following which the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare approves the payment. The amount is then credited directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts, with the process monitored by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
