Yes, if you are eligible you can take both PM-Kisan and PM Kisan Maandhan Yojana together. In fact there is a convenient option: a PM-Kisan beneficiary can choose to have the monthly Maandhan pension contribution deducted directly from the PM-Kisan benefit, so you do not have to pay separately from your pocket. You still must meet Maandhan eligibility (small/marginal farmer up to 2 hectares, age 18 to 40, valid Aadhaar and bank account, not an income tax payer or government employee). This way your Rs 6000 a year from PM-Kisan continues, and a part funds your future Rs 3000 monthly pension. Register for Maandhan at any CSC and choose the PM-Kisan auto-debit option if you want.
Maine dono le rakhe hain. Maandhan ka paisa meri PM-Kisan kist me se hi kat jaata hai, jeb se alag nahi dena padta. CSC pe bola to unhone auto-debit wala option laga diya.
Just remember the Maandhan land limit is up to 2 hectares, even though PM-Kisan has no land-size limit. So a bigger farmer can get PM-Kisan but may not qualify for Maandhan. Check your landholding before applying for the pension.
