Many farmers left out of PM Kisan benefits in A.P., reveals survey -P Sujatha Varma

‘Neither are the reasons specified nor a resolution process put in place’

Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh): About 15.2 lakh farmers in Andhra Pradesh are deprived of the payment instalments under the Centrally-sponsored ‘PM Kisan Samman Nidhi’ that provides input subsidy to them.

As part of the scheme, the farmers will receive a sum of 6,000 per agricultural year in three instalments of 2,000 each and the transfer of the 10th instalment is under way since January 1 and will be completed by the end of February.

Registered farmers

According to a survey conducted by LibTech, represented by a team of engineers, social workers, and social scientists who work towards improving public service delivery in the country, there are total 59,06,097 farmers registered under the PM Kisan, who are entitled to receive an estimated 96,03.3 crore.

While payments of around 82,03.7 crore have been received by the farmers, an estimated 13,43.5 crore is yet to be received by 15.2 lakh farmers who have missed either part or full instalments.

The reasons cited for their exclusion is mainly rejections by the respective bank or Aadhaar verification issue.

Money transfer is done either through account payments or Aadhaar payments. In some cases, the amount transferred to the farmers’ bank account doesn’t get credited due to technical issues, or under ‘account-based payment system’ the bank account details of the farmers are wrongly entered in MIS, or the farmer’s bank account is un-operational for a long time, resulting in blockade or freezing of the account.
