Maharashtra Farmer Receives Erroneous PM-Kisan SMS Showing One Paisa, Full Payment ConfirmedPreviousNext

A Maharashtra farmer, Lakshmibai from Jevanala village, received an SMS indicating a deposit of one paisa under the PM-Kisan scheme instead of the expected Rs 2,000 installment. The Agriculture Department clarified this was a technical glitch, confirming the full amount was credited to her account. The family, relying on the funds for the kharif sowing season, was initially confused but relieved after official confirmation of the correct payment.
