The meeting was informed about the targets, achievements and pendency in both revenue record and e-KYC uploadings, etc.
Dulloo asked the district level chairpersons of PM-KISAN to certify any beneficiary before authorizing them ineligible for the scheme so that ineligible beneficiaries would be weeded out ensuring the recoveries are made from them also.

The meeting also discussed the bulk uploading of revenue records of PM-KISAN, e-KYC pendency and to be cleared in a mission mode.
He directed the lead bank to saturate bank accounts of PM-KISAN beneficiaries with their Aadhaar and NPCI (for DBT). He also instructed the district Nodal Officers to carry out a special drive to identify and register any left out eligible beneficiaries so that the benefits would trickle down to the deserving lot.
While calling for expediting proper verification of documents, Dulloo asked the Chief Agriculture Officers to speed up pending approvals of death cases, ineligibility and self registration cases.
