PM-KISAN scheme for small and marginal farmer families only?
Initially when the PM-Kisan scheme was launched (February, 2019), its benefits were admissible only to the families of small and marginal farmers who had a combined landholding of up to 2 hectares. The scheme was later revised in June 2019 and extended to all farmer families, irrespective of their holding size.
The Central Government had notified the decision to give a benefit of Rs 6,000 per year to all 14.5 crore farmers of the country under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, irrespective of the size of their holdings.
Who has been excluded from the PM-KISAN scheme?
Those excluded from PM-KISAN include institutional land holders, farmer families holding constitutional posts, serving or retired officers and employees of the state or central government, as well as public sector undertakings and government autonomous bodies. Professionals like doctors, engineers and lawyers as well as retired pensioners having monthly pension of more than Rs 10,000 and paying income tax in the previous assessment year are also not eligible for the benefit.
