Farming is the heart of our nation, and the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is a government initiative designed to support the hardworking farmer families who feed our country. This scheme provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year, paid in three equal installments, to help with agricultural needs and household expenses.  

But navigating the rules can be confusing. Is your family eligible? Does the size of your land matter? Our PM-KISAN Eligibility Checker is here to give you a clear and instant answer. Forget complex guidelines; just answer a few simple questions to find out where you stand.

FAQs

For the PM-KISAN scheme, a family is defined as a husband, wife, and their minor children (under 18 years of age).

No. The scheme was initially for small and marginal farmers, but it has now been expanded to include all landholding farmer families, regardless of the size of their land.

The scheme has specific exclusion criteria to ensure it reaches those who need it most. Generally, you are not eligible if you or a family member holds a constitutional post, is a government employee (with some exceptions), receives a high monthly pension (over ₹10,000), paid income tax last year, or is a registered professional like a doctor or lawyer.

To enroll in the scheme, you will typically need your Aadhaar card, papers proving your land ownership, and the details of your savings bank account.
