Income tax payer in family, are we still eligible for PM-Kisan?

Yes, income tax is one of the main exclusion conditions in PM-Kisan, and it is judged at the family level. For PM-Kisan, a family is defined as husband, wife and minor children. If any member of that family paid income tax in the last assessment year, the family is not eligible for the scheme. So the key question is whether your son is part of your PM-Kisan family unit. If your son is an adult and not a minor child, he is generally treated as a separate family for the scheme, and his income tax filing does not by itself disqualify you, your wife and your minor children. But if you yourself or your spouse paid income tax, then you would be excluded. The other main excluded categories are, institutional landholders, former and present holders of constitutional posts, serving or retired MPs, MLAs, ministers, mayors and zila parishad chairpersons, serving or retired government employees and officers (with an exception for class four and multi tasking lower staff), retired pensioners drawing a monthly pension of Rs 10,000 or more (again with the lower staff exception), and registered professionals like doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants and architects who practise. If you do not fall into any of these and the land is genuinely cultivable and in your name, you are eligible. If you are unsure about your specific case, confirm with your block agriculture office, and rely only on the official rules shown on pmkisan.gov.in.
