Published: April 20, 2026
Union Budget 2026-27 mein Finance Minister ne PM Kisan Samman Nidhi ke liye Rs 63,500 crore allocate kiya hai. Lekin farmers ki umeed thi ki amount ₹6,000/year se ₹8,000-10,000/year tak badh jayega - ye hua nahi.
💰 Budget Allocation: Rs 63,500 crore
👨🌾 Beneficiaries: 9.5+ crore farmers
💵 Amount per farmer: ₹6,000/year (unchanged)
📅 Installments: 3 × ₹2,000 per year
Budget 2026 Mein Kya Hua?
February 2026 mein Union Budget present hua. Agriculture sector ko total Rs 1.88 lakh crore allocated hua, jisme se PM Kisan sabse bada scheme hai. Key points:
Budget Highlights:
- PM Kisan allocation: Rs 63,500 crore (same as previous year)
- Total agriculture allocation: Rs 1.88 lakh crore
- Beneficiary coverage: 9.5+ crore farmers
- Amount per farmer: ₹6,000/year - NO increase
- New focus: Farmer ID/AgriStack integration
Farmers Kyu Disappointed Hain?
Election ke baad farmers aur opposition parties ne demand ki thi ki PM Kisan amount ko ₹8,000-10,000/year tak badhaya jaye. Reasons:
Farmers ki Demands:
- Inflation ke karan ₹6,000 kami padta hai
- Kisan Credit Card ke comparison mein amount kam hai
- State schemes jaise Rythu Bandhu (₹12,000/acre) zyada dete hain
- KALIA Yojana (Odisha) ₹12,000/year deta hai
- YSR Rythu Bharosa (Andhra) ₹13,500/year deta hai
Lekin government ne focus kiya hai beneficiary count badhane par instead of individual amount. 2019 mein 7.5 crore farmers the, ab 9.5+ crore hain - ye 20%+ increase hai.
Agar Amount Nahi Badha To Kya Badla?
Amount same hai, lekin scheme mein improvements hui hain:
Scheme Improvements:
- Farmer ID mandatory: Ab 14 states mein Farmer ID zaroori hai
- AgriStack integration: Digital verification fast ho gaya
- eKYC options: OTP, Face Auth, Biometric - multiple options
- Beneficiary inclusion: More eligible farmers add ho rahe hain
- Fraud reduction: Duplicate aur fake entries kam ho gayi
PM Kisan vs Other Farmer Schemes - Comparison
India mein different states different farmer schemes chalate hain. Compare karein:
Scheme Comparison:
- PM Kisan (Central): ₹6,000/year - All India
- Rythu Bandhu (Telangana): ₹12,000/acre/year
- KALIA Yojana (Odisha): ₹12,000/year
- YSR Rythu Bharosa (Andhra): ₹13,500/year
- Karpoori Thakur Kisan Samman (Bihar): ₹3,000/year (additional to PM Kisan)
Bihar farmers ke liye good news hai - unhe PM Kisan (₹6,000) + Karpoori Thakur scheme (₹3,000) = total ₹9,000/year milta hai.
Budget 2026 Ka Asal Impact
Budget allocation se ye clear hai ki government ka focus hai:
Government Priority:
- More farmers covered instead of more money per farmer
- Digital infrastructure (AgriStack, Farmer ID)
- Fraud elimination through verification
- Integration with other schemes (KCC, crop insurance)
Kya Future Mein Amount Badhega?
Experts ka kehna hai ki next budget mein amount hike ki possibility hai, especially:
- Election year pressure
- Inflation adjustment need
- State schemes se competition
- Opposition demand
- Farmer protests ka effect
Lekin abhi ke liye, ₹6,000/year hi milta rahega. Farmers ko chahiye ki apni eKYC complete karein, Farmer ID banayein, aur eligibility maintain karein.
Conclusion
Budget 2026 mein PM Kisan amount nahi badha, lekin scheme strong hai. 9.5+ crore farmers ko benefit mil raha hai. Agar aap PM Kisan beneficiary hain, ensure karein ki:
