Under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Samman Nidhi Yojana, 2000 rupees of seventh installment has started to be sent to the bank accounts of the beneficiary farmers from December 1. However, now it has been reported that more than 2 crore farmers’ names have been removed from this scheme.

This step is being taken by the government with an aim to crack down on fake farmers. A few days ago, the number of beneficiary farmers on the portal of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi was close to 11 crores, but after this step taken by the government, this number has now come down to 9 crores 97 lakhs.

It is worth noting that the government puts an installment of Rs 2,000 in the bank account of farmers at an interval of every four months. So far 6 installments have been sent under this scheme and currently the seventh installment is being sent.
