Now that the month of April has begun, eagerness for transfer of next installment is also gaining pace.
New Delhi: Lakhs of Indian farmers are eagerly waiting for the disbursal of 11th installment of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN).
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme provides annual cash transfer of Rs 6000 to the farmers in three equal instalments. The first instalment is between April- July; second instalment is between August-November and the third instalment is between December-March.
Now that the month of April has begun, eagerness for transfer of next installment is also gaining pace. The installment for this period had come on May 15 last year. Hence, a few media reports are speculating that government might transfer the amount to farmers on the upcoming Ram Navami or Ambedkar Jayanti. Though there has not been any official confirmation, we can only expect the installment to be credited soon.
