• PM-KISAN scheme now requires a mandatory Farmer ID for beneficiaries.
• This decision aims to ensure transparency, correct identification, and direct financial assistance to eligible farmers.
• PM-KISAN installments may be stopped if farmers do not have a Farmer ID.
• The Farmer ID system is part of a larger plan to digitize and link all agricultural schemes to a single database.
• Farmers must register for a Farmer ID, complete e-KYC, and link Aadhaar/bank accounts to continue receiving benefits.
