Out of 66,900 eligible farmers in a Tehsil area, only 35,429 have registered.
That means around 30,580 farmers may miss this payment.
Farmer Registry Now Compulsory
Now, farmers must complete the Kisan Registry not just for PM-Kisan, but for all farming schemes.
About 47 percent farmers still haven’t registered.
Registration can be done through the ‘Kisan Registry UP’ mobile app, official portal, or at Jan Seva Kendra.
Farmers need their Khatauni details and Aadhaar card. Help is also available from local officials like Panchayat Assistants or Lekhpals.
What is PM-Kisan Scheme?
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, the government gives Rs 6,000 per year to eligible farmers.
This amount is given in three parts of Rs 2,000, every four months.
