📍 India mein steepest decline

⚠️ Main Reason: New eligibility verification
What Happened in Punjab?
Government data shows Punjab mein PM Kisan beneficiaries drastically reduced hue hain:
| Year | Beneficiaries | Decline |
|---|---|---|
| 2019-20 | 23.01 lakh | - |
| 2022-23 | ~15 lakh | 35% |
| 2025-26 | ~12 lakh | 51% |
Why Punjab Farmers Were Excluded
Multiple reasons ne Punjab farmers ko PM Kisan se bahar kar diya:
1. Ineligible Family Members Registered
Punjab mein ek family mein multiple members registered hue the - husband, wife, sons. New rule allows sirf ONE beneficiary per family. Ye biggest reason hai for exclusion.
2. Land Record Verification Issues
Punjab land records (Jamabandi) mein discrepancies hue. Government strict verification kar raha hai. Agar land records mein farmer ka naam clearly nahi hai, exclusion ho gaya.
3. Aadhaar-Bank Linking Problems
Many Punjab farmers ke bank accounts Aadhaar se properly linked nahi hue the. DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) ke liye ye mandatory hai. Without linking, payments stop hue.
4. Exclusion Criteria Violations
Government employees, income tax payers, pension receivers (₹10,000+/month) excluded hue. Punjab mein verification revealed many ineligible beneficiaries.
5. eKYC Not Completed
eKYC mandatory hai since 2024. Jo farmers eKYC complete nahi kiya, unke payments hold hue aur eventually excluded hue.
Important: Government is cleaning up beneficiary list nationwide. Punjab mein highest drop because maximum discrepancies found hue the during verification.
