As your son is a central government employee, he might be an income taxpayer as well. In that case,  you are not eligible for Kalia Scheme. As per the definition used for the scheme, a farm family comprises of a farmer and his/her spouse along with their dependent children who share a common ration number. So if you and your son share a common ration number and your son is an income tax payee, you are not eligible for the scheme.
