Centre Recovers Over ₹416 Crore from Ineligible PM-Kisan Beneficiaries
The Indian government has recovered ₹416.75 crore from ineligible recipients of the PM-Kisan scheme, Minister of State for Agriculture Ramnath Thakur told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. State governments are tasked with reclaiming funds from farmers who do not qualify, including higher-income groups such as income tax payees and employees of public sector undertakings.
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, cultivable landholding is the primary eligibility criterion, with certain exclusions for individuals of higher economic status. Eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, disbursed in three equal installments directly into Aadhaar-linked bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The government has implemented measures nationwide to identify duplicate or ineligible beneficiaries and ensure the scheme benefits only the intended farmers.
