Even as there is no official word on the disbursal of 21st installment of PM-Kisan money, several media reports are pouring in that names of lakhs of farmers have been removed from the PM-Kisan beneficiary list.

Reports in several media have quoted that the government has removed names of over 35 lakh farmers from the PM-Kisan beneficiaries list nationwide. 

The removal of the names of 35 lakh farmers from PM-Kisan beneficiaries list is pending review and assessment of their eligibility. Reports say that the farmers will have to re-apply for PM-Kisan scheme necessary documents either via online mode or at Meeseva centres.
