What is Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana? How to register for PMKSNY?

 The Indian government has introduced many plans in the country. These plans are created so that people from all walks of life can live well. Farmers face one of the biggest problems in India. Sometimes too much rain, sometimes drought–these things cause a lot of damage to a farmer. Keeping this in mind, the Indian government has brought a new scheme for farmers. It's called PMKSNY. In this blog today, we will learn what PMKSNY is, who can benefit from it, and how to register. So let's get started.

What is PMKSNY?

PMKSNY, or Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, is a scheme created by the Indian government. This scheme is for the benefit of farmers especially those with smaller plots of land.

The government decided that farmers who own less than 2 hectares (about 4.9 acres) of land will receive the benefits of this scheme. To support the farmers, the Government of India announced that they will give each farmer 6,000 rupees every year.

This scheme was started in India on December 01, 2018. Since then, approximately 12 crore farmers are taking advantage of this scheme every year. Under this scheme, all farmers receive 2,000 rupees every four months. 

How to register for PMKSNY?

Registering for PMKSNY is really easy. You just need to go to the official PMKSNY website. Once you're there, if you're a new farmer and want to register, click on the "New Farmer" option.

After that, a page will come up where you need to choose if you're an urban or rural farmer. Then, you'll need to provide your Aadhar number and the mobile number linked to it for an OTP (one-time password). Next, pick your state, fill in the captcha, and hit enter.

Now, use the OTP you received and submit it. You'll get another OTP to verify your Aadhar. Enter that second OTP along with the captcha, and submit again. After this, you'll see another web page.

This page might have some information already fetched from your Aadhar. You'll need to fill in the rest. You'll need your land registration number (for a land registration number, click here- Bhulekh). Also, share details about owning the land. Then, you'll need to click on the "Add" button to upload land documents.

When you click it, a page will open up where you put in all the details about your land. You'll also upload documents related to your land. Once you submit all this, your registration will be successfully completed. Plus, you'll get a farmer registration ID that you can use later to check your status.

How to get PMKSNY money?

PMKSNY, or let's just call it the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, is a scheme by the Indian government where every eligible farmer gets money directly in their bank account. But wait, there's a little process before you can get that money. You need to provide your details in advance and update your electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) info. Before you start dreaming about the money, make sure you're actually eligible for it.

To figure that out, you gotta visit the PMKisan website. Where you can see the status of your application. Once you log in, you'll see not only your personal details but also whether you meet the criteria for eligibility.

Here's the drill: Make sure all your details are correct. Check if your land records match up and if your e-KYC status is a thumbs-up. If everything's on point, don't worry, the money will find its way to your bank account.

But, if something's not right or if you're missing some eligibility bits, the money might take a detour. That's when you need to update your e-KYC all over again. And if, even after everything's fine, the money doesn't show up, get in touch with a nearby government office for help.
