The PM Kisan Sammann Nidhi scheme provides annual income support of Rs 6,000 to every land-owning farmer. The money is paid in three equal cash transfers of Rs 2,000, once every four months.
The last installment was released in May this year. The government had disbursed a little more than Rs 19,000 crore to 90 million beneficiaries under the scheme.

Who can register?
Any farmer can enroll for PM-Kisan by applying at local revenue offices or a state’s nodal officer for the scheme, who is nominated by the state government. Farmers can also register themselves through the PM-Kisan portal and common service centres.
States have to upload data to a centralised public finance management system, a platform that auto verifies bank accounts and checks biometric Aadhaar details of beneficiaries sent by states. These are then sent back to states for physical signatures.
