PM Kisan: If the land is in the father's name, will he get the benefit of PM Kisan?

PM Kisan 21st Installment Date and Rules: Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana), crores of farmers receive an installment of ₹2,000 every four months. 

Now, all farmers are awaiting the 21st installment, which is expected before Diwali. According to media reports, the government may transfer the money to farmers' accounts by October 20th. 

However, this requires that your documents and land status are completely accurate. The biggest question is: will you be eligible for PM Kisan benefits if the land is in your father's name? Let's explore the answer and the scheme's rules...

When will the 21st installment of PM Kisan come?

If all the information, such as your name, land records, and KYC updates, is correct, the government can transfer ₹2,000 to your account before Diwali (October 21st). 

This time, the installment has been slightly delayed, but media reports suggest that the installment may be released by October 20th.

What does the rule of PM Kisan Yojana say?

Many farmers have a question, ‘I have land in my father’s name, can I avail the PM Kisan Yojana benefits?’ The answer is no. If the land is solely in your father’s name and you haven’t registered your name as an heir or co-owner, you won’t be eligible for the PM Kisan benefits.

What do the government's conditions say about PM Kisan?

1. The beneficiary of the PM Kisan Yojana will be the farmer in whose name the land is registered. This means that the land must be owned by the same person as per the revenue records.
2. If the land is in the name of the father, then the benefit will come in the father's bank account only, not in the son's.
3. If the father has died, then the son-heir will have to get the land transferred in his name by submitting the death certificate and succession documents.
4. The new beneficiary can be updated on the PM Kisan portal only after the mutation process is completed.

Whose account will not receive the PM Kisan installment?

1. Whose KYC has not been updated.
2. Whose Aadhaar and bank account details are not matching.
