PM Kisan Samman Nidhi: ‘21L UP farmers ineligible, recovery proceedings to be initiated’

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday he said, “Among the ineligible are farmers who pay income tax, do not own any land or husband and wife both are taking benefits.”

The minister has also appealed to farmers to get all their land records verified and uploaded on the agriculture department’s portal by September 9 to be eligible to get the 12th instalment under the PM-Kisan Nidhi.

The Centre might release the 12th instalment any day but the benefit would be given only to the farmers who would have uploaded their verified land record data on the portal by September 9, he said.
