PM-KISAN is a new Central Sector Scheme to provide income support to all landholding farmers' families in the country to supplement their financial needs for procuring various inputs related to agriculture and allied activities as well as domestic needs. The government has defined the family for the scheme, which is husband, wife, and minor children.

State Government and UT administration will identify the farmer families, which are eligible for support as per scheme guidelines. The government recovers money from them. Once any such case comes to the limelight, then they will be identified and excluded from the list of beneficiaries of this scheme.

Apart from this, there are many such provisions which make farmers ineligible. If someone in the farmer's family pays tax, then the benefit of this scheme will not be available. That is, if either of the spouses has paid income tax last year, then they will not get the benefit of this scheme.

If someone is the owner of agricultural land, but he is a government employee or has retired, sitting or former MP, MLA, minister, then such people are also ineligible for the benefit of the farmers scheme.
