The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan) is a scheme run by the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare through which every farmer family owning cultivable land receives financial assistance from the Government of India.

In this scheme, a total of Rs 6,000 is directly transferred to the bank account of the beneficiaries in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each year. So far crores of farmers have been benefited by this Pradhan Mantri Kisan Yojana.

When will PM Kisan’s money come in?

The PM Kisan Yojana was launched on 1st December 2018. The 15th tranche of the scheme was released on 15th November 2023 where the government has provided a total of Rs 18,000 crore and benefited more than 8 crore farmers.

Currently, there is no official date for the 16th installment but it is expected to hit farmers’ accounts between February and March.

Objectives of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi

India is an agricultural country and the role of proper infrastructure is crucial for the development and productivity of this agriculture. The scheme provides financial support to farmers so that farmers can take appropriate measures to maintain improved crop quality and get a fair price for produce especially after harvest.

Moreover, in case of loss of crops due to natural calamities or other reasons, the farmers had to bear the cost and otherwise the rate of farmer suicides in an agriculturally dominant country like India bore witness to extreme ruthlessness. One of the most successful aspects of this scheme is the reduction in the rate of farmer suicides and maintaining a minimum income standard for farmers through this scheme.

• The next field that has been added in the form is ‘Land Registration ID’ which was not there in the previous form, so many people find it inconvenient to fill the new form.

Now let’s see how you can get Land Registration ID:-

Land Registration ID = District Code + Block Code + Mauza Code + Khatian Number

Now the question is where do you get these codes from? To get these codes, you need to visit the government land website ‘Bholekh’.

If you go to Google and type ‘BHULEKH’ and enter the name of your state, you will see the official BHULEKH website of that state.

Let’s say if you want to know information about land in West Bengal, if you type ‘BHULEKH West Bengal’ in Google and then click on search, you will see the website ‘banglarbhumi.gov.in‘.

To know the code, you click on the menu at the top right end of the website ‘Mouza Information’.

Then a popup message will open where you will see the codes along with the district name. Suppose if your district is ‘Howrah’ then you know its code is ’05’.

Now you can see the code with the block name by clicking on the district. Suppose if your block is ‘Bali’ then its code is ’03’.

Just like before, if you click on the block, you will know the name and code of the mouza. Suppose if it is Lilua then the code will be ‘012’.

Now let’s assume your Khatian number is ‘123’ then it will be Land Registration ID

Land Registration ID = 05 + 03 + 012 + 123

Then your Land Registration ID = 0503012123

• After filling Land Registration ID you have to give ‘Ration Card Number’.
• Then you will be asked whether you will do ‘PM Kisan Mandhan Yojana’ or not. It is a pension scheme. If the farmer is above 60 years of age, the government gives them the opportunity to do this pension scheme, but some money will be deducted from your account for that.
• The next part of the form is very important. Here you have to give all the details about your land. First of all, whether the ownership of the land is ‘single’ or ‘joint’ should be mentioned.
• After clicking on the ‘Add’ button, the ‘Add Land Details’ section will open below.
• Here first you need to put Khatian number and next to it Dag or Khasra number i.e. plot number.
