COVID Blues: First Installment Of PM-Kisan Payout Delayed

PM-Kisan program's first installment of Rs 2,000 will be delayed for over nine crore farmers as the states have not sent the Request for Transfer (RFTs) for eligible farmers. According to the Agriculture Ministry, it will take a week after the states will send the RFTs. Reportedly, the actual schedule for releasing the dues is from April 1-July 31. Last year, it was released between March 24 and April 20.
