After the recommendation received from the parliamentary committee, there are speculations that the PM may announce in the budget to increase the limit of the amount given under Kisan Samman Nidhi.

Farmers got so much money under Kisan Yojana

Even before the Lok Sabha elections in the year 2024, it was expected that the amount of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana would be increased but it could not happen. In the budget presented on 1 February 2019, the then Finance Minister Piyush Goyal had announced the introduction of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Yojana. Under this scheme, small and medium farmers are given Rs 6000 annually in 3 installments. Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, money is sent to the bank accounts of farmers through direct transfer. So far, Rs 3.45 lakh crore has been deposited in the bank accounts of farmers in 18 installments.
