Before the release of the 11th installment of the scheme, forgery has come to the fore in Jalaun district of UP. After this, the department has issued notices to 1740 farmers and asked them to return the amount of the fund. Actually, the purpose of the scheme is to help small farmers financially. More than 12 crore farmers from across the country have registered under the scheme.
1740 farmers committed fraud
Under this, every year 6000 rupees are sent to the farmers’ account by the central government. This amount is sent in three installments of 2000-2000. When this scheme was started, at the same time it was told that salaried farmers and farmers paying income tax are not eligible for this scheme. But in Jalaun, UP, there has been talk of taking PM Kisan Fund of 1740 such farmers, who were paying income tax.
notice issued
Now the departmental officers have issued a notice to all the ineligible income tax paying farmers to return the money of the fund. According to the officials, many farmers are coming here themselves and returning the money through cheque.
