KIsan SAmman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)” in the current financial year.
 The PM-KISAN scheme aims to supplement the financial needs of the SMFs in
procuring various inputs to ensure proper crop health and appropriate yields,
commensurate with the anticipated farm income at the end of the each crop cycle.
 This would also protect them from falling in the clutches of moneylenders for meeting
such expenses and ensure their continuance in the farming activities.
Cut-off Date
 The Scheme shall be effective from 01.12.2018 for transfer of benefit to eligible
beneficiaries.
 The cut-off date for determining the eligibility of beneficiaries, has been kept as
01.02.2019.
 Changes, if any, in the cut-off date for eligibility of benefit under the scheme for next 5

to death of the landowner.
Definition of Families
 The SMFs landholder farmer family is defined as “a family comprising of husband, wife
and minor children who collectively own cultivable land upto 2 hectare as per land
records of the concerned State/UT”.
Basis for Identification
 The number of eligible SMFs under the scheme has been estimated on the basis of
projection of Agricultural Census 2015-16 data for 2018-19.
 The projected number of holding of SMFs landholder farmer families for FY 2018-19 is
13.15 crore.
 Due to likely exclusion of certain categories of beneficiaries of higher economic strata,
the total number of eligible beneficiaries has been taken as 12.50 crore.
 The existing land-ownership system will be used for identification of beneficiaries for
calculation of financial benefit under the scheme.
Scheme Contours and Financial Outlay

alternate prescribed documents can be collected for identity verification and transfer of
benefit to such farmer families for transfer of 1st installment in 2018-19.

have to be approved by the State. It is only after approval by the state that farmers are considered
successfully registered under PM-KISAN scheme.

The facility for approval of self-registered farmers has been provided to both state and district
level users. It is the responsibility of state, district and block level field functionary to verify the
applications of the farmers submitted online. They need to ensure that the farmer is legitimate
and is eligible for registration under the scheme. However, it may be noted that any duplicate
entries, if any are filtered out by the PM-KISAN portal at the back end and the entries visible to

It has been observed that due to human errors at the time of registration of a farmer,
wrong/incorrect details may be entered on the portal. These applications may then be rejected by
the State Nodal Officer/not responded at all. In such cases, the farmer can edit his application via
the Farmer’s Corner or via reaching out to the Nearest CSC. The edited application will then be
again sent to the State Nodal Officer for approval.

rejected by the State Nodal Officer. The farmer cannot register or submit a new application. This
is forbidden by the system. Hence, the only available option if to edit/update the earlier
submitted application.
4. How to correct the Farmer Records?
A farmer record passes through several checks and validations to ensure that the details entered
for the farmer are valid and the payment may be processed. During this entire process, the farmer
records may be rejected due to many reasons such as incorrect bank details, invalid bank account
type, first level rejections, incorrect gender etc. A correction window has been provided to the
States/Districts/Blocks in order to enable them to correct the details of farmers. Any farmer
record which has been rejected is available under the respective option available in the correction
window in accordance with the rejected data. In the following document, we will go through the

4.9 Transaction Failure Records
During the process of making the payment to the farmer bank accounts, there have been cases
where the bank transaction failure happens. These bank transaction failure cases may be due to
network issues with the banks or issues with the bank details provided at the time of registration.
In this case, such records are made available for the state to correct the bank details to enable the
transfer of benefits to such farmers again. A report is made available to the states where they can
see the list of the records where the transaction failed along with the reason of transaction failure
against each record. This report is provided under the PFMS Reports tab named as “Transaction
Failure Installment Wise”.
This report enables the user to filter the transaction failure records as per the financial year and
installment no. This report will give the details of the number of records whose transaction failed,
who have been corrected, opened in lots for the release of payments and the success of payment
thereafter. The User can also download the list of records whose transaction failed for a respective
installment. The downloaded excel file will give all the details of each record along with the reason
of transaction failure. The process to be followed for correction of transaction failure records is

reason will help the user to understand the issue with the bank account and resolve
accordingly.

a. Bank Account Correction is not needed: In this case, go to the “Approval of Bank
Detail” window. Select the tab “Transaction Failure cases” from the top of the
window. User may select one case or multiple cases where no bank account
correction is needed and click on the “Accept” button at the bottom of the page.
This will be considered as a request from the state to process the failed installment
in the same bank account which is saved in the system.

Correction” window. User may search an individual farmer by using the Search
Radio buttons i.e. Aadhar number, Account No and Registration No. given on the
top of the page. Update/edit the bank details of the farmer. These bank details will
then be approved by one higher level of authority. This record once accepted by
PFMS will be considered as corrected and will be open in the lots for processing
the failed installments.
Points to Note:
1. Standard Operating Procedure is being developed to open only those records to the State
where any correction pertaining to the bank account details is needed. The records which
need no bank account correction will be processed by the system automatically.
2. However, till the system is devised, the States will have to correct only those records
under this window where the reason of failure is due to changes or errors in the account
details. In case the failure is due to network failure, state is not to make any changes in
the details. They have to provide confirmation that no correction is needed via the
method detailed above and such records will be processed for further payments.
4.10 Revoke Stop Payment Rejections
During the process of lot closure wherein states give approval of payments to the farmers who are
due, stop payment is done by the states for a few farmers. This may be done in case the details of
the farmers are incorrect or any other such reason. In case, user has accidently rejected the farmer

in the stop payment correction window and wishes to revoke this. This can be done via “Revoke
Stop Payment Rejection” window. This will move the record from the permanent rejection to Stop
Payment Correction window. User will then be able to correct the farmer details and Accept the
record for processing further payments.

5. How to approve the payment of farmers?
As discussed in the document earlier, once farmer records have been authenticated by Aadhar
and validated by PFMS, such records are open to the states for approval of payment. This approval
is taken by the state as the process of validation takes time (approx. a month) during this span of
time, the status of farmer may change or at times a farmer may even be identified by the field
functionaries as ineligible. This process is termed as Lot Closure. The state is to follow the steps
given below to complete this process to enable the farmer to get the payment:

6. How to initiate Refund from the Farmers?
It has been observed that there have been instances where the financial benefit has been released
by the PM-KISAN system has been transferred to the individuals who are ineligible or to incorrect
bank accounts. In addition to this, as per the exclusion criterion of PM-KISAN, all those farmers
who have paid Income tax in the previous Assessment year are identified as “Ineligible” under the
scheme. Since, this check was not placed in the portal earlier, hence, the beneficiaries which have
now been identified as Ineligible, must refund all the installments that have been paid to them.
This module is used to initiate the refund for such case scenarios. The detailed SOP has been
shared with the States/UTs earlier. There are two types of Refund modules available in the
Correction Module:

Form A: This form is to be used for those beneficiaries who are already registered on the PMKISAN Portal. However, either these beneficiaries have been identified as ineligible at some stage
or they have voluntarily decided to give up their registration under the scheme and the benefits
provided thereof.
Form B: This form is for those individuals who are not registered under the PM-KISAN Portal,
but they have wrongly received benefits under the scheme due to wrongly entered Bank Account
against a registered beneficiary.
The process to be followed for initiating the refund from the beneficiaries and processing them
on PM-KISAN Portal:
