Farmers are now waiting for the 16th installment of prime minister Kisan Samman Nidhi. Every farmer is given

two thousand rupees under this scheme. But there are some farmers who have stopped getting money midway. The

Central government has a clear stand that the installment will not reach the account of ineligible people under any

circumstances. In such a situation, farmers will only have to update e-KYC and Bhulekh updation to get the

installment. In many districts of Uttar Pradesh, farmers have not yet updated their e-KYC and Bhulekh updation.

Because of this, money is not going into the accounts of about 60 thousand farmers. According to the rules, the

installment amount will reach the farmers account only when all the formalities are completed. It is being said in

some media reports that all the account holders of cooperative and rural banks have not yet received the approval

of NPCI.

Link NPCI to Aadhar

Local farmers say that unless the approval of NPCI is received, the installment will not reach the account. On the

other hand, the central government is trying to ensure that government relief reaches the accounts of eligible

farmers only. Due to which it has been made mandatory to link aadhar card with National Payment Corporation of

India. If agriculture department officials are to be believed, the farmers say that if the installment is not available

then the farmers should link NPCI with Aadhaar as soon as possible.

In the winter session of Parliament, a question related to increasing the amount of Kisan Samman nidhi was asked.

On this question, Union Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that right now there is no proposal to

increase the amount of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. Let us tell you that PM Kisan nidhi was started in December

2018. The government gives Rs 6,000 every year in 3 installments to every farmer coming under this scheme.
