In Madhya Pradesh, farmers wrongfully marked as deceased in official records are struggling to receive their PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi payments. These farmers, forced to provide Aadhaar details, documents, and applications, are repeatedly visiting government offices but find no resolution.

The principal secretary of the revenue department, E Ramesh Kumar, stated that they have not encountered any such instances and will look into complaints if they arise.
