The 21st PM-KISAN instalment was released on 19 November 2025 from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Through Direct Benefit Transfer, approximately ₹18,000 crore was sent to nearly 9 crore farmers. Option B correctly pairs the transfer amount with the beneficiary count.

C 1-c, 2-a, 3-b

D 1-b, 2-a, 3-c

Explanation

The correct matching is 1-b, 2-c, 3-a. Farmer Registry is the database designed to simplify farmers' access to welfare benefits. Kisan-eMitra offers voice-based help in 11 major regional languages, while the PM-KISAN mobile app enables facial-authentication-based e-KYC for remote farmers.

Q3Consider the following statements about PM-KISAN: 1. It was launched on 24 February 2019 as a Central Sector Scheme. 2. All landholding farmer families with cultivable land in their names are eligible, subject to the scheme's exclusion criteria. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. The Central Government launched PM-KISAN on 24 February 2019 as a Central Sector Scheme. Its eligibility extends to all landholding farmer families having cultivable land in their names, but the notified exclusion criteria still apply.

Q4Which one of the following statements about PM-KISAN's digital features is incorrect?

A Farmers may complete e-KYC through OTP-based, biometric-based, or face-authentication-based methods.

B The PM-KISAN mobile app supports facial-authentication-based e-KYC for remote farmers.

C Kisan-eMitra supports 11 major regional languages and has resolved over 95 lakh queries.

D Only biometric authentication is permitted for e-KYC; OTP and face authentication are unavailable.

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because PM-KISAN does not restrict e-KYC to biometrics. Farmers can use OTP-based, biometric-based, and face-authentication-based e-KYC. The mobile app also enables remote farmers to complete e-KYC through facial authentication.

Q5What is the annual income support provided to each eligible farmer family under PM-KISAN?

A ₹6,000 in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each

B ₹6,000 in two equal instalments of ₹3,000 each

C ₹8,000 in four equal instalments of ₹2,000 each

D ₹12,000 in twelve monthly instalments of ₹1,000 each

Explanation

PM-KISAN provides each eligible farmer family annual income support of ₹6,000 through Direct Benefit Transfer. The amount is divided into three equal instalments, so each instalment is ₹2,000. Therefore, option A states both the correct annual total and payment frequency.
