Farmers registered under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme should ensure that their e-KYC verification is completed to continue receiving financial assistance. The government has made e-KYC mandatory for beneficiaries, and farmers who have not completed the process may face difficulties receiving their upcoming installments.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three installments of ₹2,000 each. The amount is transferred directly to their bank accounts. Farmers who have not received the 24th installment should check their beneficiary details and e-KYC status before the next installment is released.
The good news is that farmers no longer need to visit a government office for Aadhaar OTP-based e-KYC. The process can be completed online using a mobile phone, provided the mobile number is linked to Aadhaar.
Why Is e-KYC Mandatory for PM Kisan Beneficiaries?
The PM Kisan scheme provides financial assistance of ₹6,000 every year to eligible farming families. The amount is distributed in three equal installments, with ₹2,000 credited to beneficiaries every four months.
To ensure that financial assistance reaches the correct beneficiaries, the government requires farmers to complete electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) verification.
Without completing the required verification, beneficiaries may encounter problems receiving their installments. Therefore, farmers are advised to check their e-KYC status and complete any pending verification.
