It was on August 9 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had released the 9th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana for the farmers. More than Rs 19,500 crore was transferred directly into the bank accounts of over 9.75 crore beneficiary farmer households. 

Under the scheme Rs 6000 are transferred each year to the farmer's accounts in equal installments of Rs 2000. While the 9th installment has already been received, there is a lot of confusion regarding the eligibility of the scheme. For example, can both husband and wife take advantage of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana? Let us find out. 

Who benefits from PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, who doesn't?

Unfortunately, both husband and wife cannot enjoy the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. If a household does have a husband and wife who benefit from this scheme then the government will term them 'fake'. Apart from this, there are also other provisions wherein farmers are ineligible to enjoy the benefits of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

If someone in the farmer's family pays tax, then the benefit of this scheme will not be available. Similarly, if a farmer is not utilising his agricultural land for farming but for other work or does farming work on the fields of others, and they will not be eligible to enjoy the benefits of the scheme.  

On the other hand, if a farmer is farming, but the field is not in his name but in the name of his father or grandfather, then they will again not get the benefit of this scheme.

In another case, if someone is the owner of agricultural land, but they are a government employee or are retired, sitting or former MP, MLA, minister, then such people are also ineligible for the benefit of the farmer scheme. 

Professional registered doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants, or their family members are also ineligible to enjoy the perks of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
