A farmer from Maharashtra, who was eagerly waiting for her stipend to be paid on time as per the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme, was in a state of shock after she received a text message indicating her account had been deposited with an amount of one paisa. She was expecting to be credited at Rs 2,000 for a particular installment.
The Agriculture Department on Tuesday stated the message was likely the result of a technical glitch and the correct instalment was credited without any problems to the farmer's account.
