The 18th installment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship scheme, PM Kisan Yojana, was released on Saturday, October 5th, with over 9.4 crore farmers receiving Rs 2,000 each. The government transferred a total of over Rs 20,000 crore under the scheme, which aims to provide income support of Rs 6,000 per year to land-holding farmer families.
However, some farmers have reported not receiving their payments. For those who haven’t received their installment, the government has provided a process to register a complaint.
Before filing a complaint, beneficiaries are advised to check if their name is included in the list of beneficiaries. This can be done by visiting the PM Kisan Yojana official website and following the instructions to search for their name in the Beneficiary List.
For those who are still unable to access their payment, complaints can be submitted by email or phone. The contact information for complaints is:
* **Email:** pmkisan-ict@gov.in and pmkisan-funds@gov.in
* **Helpline:** 011-24300606, 155261
* **Toll-free number:** 1800-115-526
The PM Kisan Yojana FAQs explain that if beneficiaries do not receive their installment for any reason other than being excluded from the scheme, they are entitled to receive the payment as soon as the delay is resolved.
