PM Kisan Samman Scheme 17th installment payment date confirmed but eligible farmer must ensure these things to receive Rs 2,000

PM Kisan Samman (PM-KISAN) Scheme 17th Installment Payment Latest News Update: The central government has confirmed that the 17th instalment of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi - its flagship scheme aimed at providing financial support to the tune of Rs 6,000 to eligible farmers each year in three equal instalments - will be released on June 18. Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, which pays three instalments of Rs 2,000 each to farmers every year, the amount of financial aid is credited directly into the accounts of eligible families through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) route. However, farmers must have their names in the official list of beneficiaries to ensure that they receive the 17th instalment of Rs 2,000. But is there a way to check whether a name is present on the PM-KISAN beneficiary list?
