‘7,088 farmers may lose benefits under PM scheme’

Coimbatore: Collector Kranti Kumar Pati warned that as many as 7,088 farmers may not receive monetary benefits under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, which ensures minimum income support, as they are yet to complete three processes under the scheme.
A total of 63,353 farmers have registered themselves in the scheme. “Many farmers have not linked their mobile number with Aadhaar. Another section of farmers have not updated their land details, while some farmers have not completed the know your customer (KYC) procedures. In total, 7,088 farmers have not done all the three procedures,” he said.
“The scheme provides 2,000 once in four months for farmers. Farmers who have not completed all the procedures may not be able to receive the next (14th) instalment,” he said.
He urged the farmers to finish the process by approaching block level agricultural officials. tnn
