- The government has emphasized that the scheme was initially designed to provide income support of ₹6,000 per year to small and marginal farmers.
- There is currently no official proposal to increase the amount beyond ₹6,000 per year.
- The government has been focusing on increasing the efficiency and outreach of the scheme to ensure that the intended beneficiaries receive timely benefits.
- The scheme has been expanded to cover all eligible farmers, including those who hold less than two hectares of land.
- The government has also increased the number of installments for the transfer of the scheme's benefits from three to four, providing quarterly income support to farmers.
