pm kisan refund ineligible, income tax payer recovery, return installment received wrongly
6 Answers
Yes, if you received PM-Kisan installments during a period when you were not eligible, the government can ask you to refund that money. Common reasons people turn ineligible are becoming an income tax payer, taking a government job above Group D, or being found to not actually hold the land. If you realise you are ineligible, it is better to voluntarily surrender and refund through the refund option on pmkisan.gov.in or at your agriculture office, rather than wait for recovery. Verification drives do catch wrongful beneficiaries and recovery notices are issued. If you are unsure whether a particular exclusion applies to you, confirm with your agriculture office before continuing to take the benefit.
Mere ek rishtedaar government job lag gayi to wo PM-Kisan ke liye ineligible ho gaye. Unhone khud portal ke refund option se paisa wapas kar diya, recovery notice ka intezaar nahi kiya. Yeh tarika behtar hai, baad me dikkat nahi hoti.
A relative of ours got a recovery notice because nobody told the office when he started paying income tax. Once you become a taxpayer in any year, you fall out for that period. He paid it back through the portal refund option and it closed the matter. Do not ignore a recovery notice, it only grows.
Common reasons people become ineligible are becoming an income tax payer, getting a government job above Group D, or not actually holding the land anymore after a sale. If any of these happen, do not keep taking the benefit. Verification drives do catch it and a recovery notice is not pleasant.
If you are genuinely unsure whether you are still eligible, ask at the agriculture office and get the answer noted, do not rely on what a neighbour says. The exclusion list has specific categories like higher pension, professionals and government servants above a certain grade. Confirming early saved me from taking money I would have had to return.
If you are not sure whether a particular exclusion applies to you, ask at the agriculture office before continuing rather than guessing. I was unsure about a small pension and they clarified my case. Better to confirm than to receive money you may have to refund later.
