PM Kisan 24th Installment Date: How Eligible Farmers Are Identified?

As per PIB explainer, the process begins with farmer registration through the PM-KISAN portal, mobile app, or Common Service Centres (CSCs).

Each state government verifies eligibility and uploads beneficiary details to the portal. The system then validates Aadhaar and bank account details and screens out ineligible applicants.

After the final state approval, the data is sent to the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for account verification. Eligible records are used to generate fund transfer requests and payment orders. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare issues sanction orders.

Accordingly, payments are then processed through sponsor banks and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Finally, funds are credited directly to farmers' bank accounts, ensuring fast, transparent, and efficient delivery of benefits.
