PM Kisan Yojana: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme is one of the most helpful government initiatives for Indian farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 every year in three equal installments of ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts. If you are waiting for the upcoming installment, there is one crucial task you must complete immediately: e-KYC verification.
The government has made e-KYC mandatory for all beneficiaries. Without completing this process, your next payment of ₹2,000 will be blocked.
PM Kisan Yojana: Why is e-KYC Mandatory?
The main goal of making e-KYC compulsory is to remove fake accounts and ensure that the financial help reaches only genuine, hardworking farmers. It updates your current records with the government database and secures your future installments.
How to Complete PM Kisan e-KYC Online (Step-by-Step)
You do not need to rush to government offices. You can easily complete your e-KYC from your smartphone at home for free:
- Visit the official PM-Kisan portal.
- Click on the ‘eKYC’ option available under the ‘Farmers Corner’ section on the homepage.
- Enter your Aadhaar Card number and click on the ‘Search’ button.
- Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and click on ‘Get OTP’.
- Enter the OTP sent to your phone and click on ‘Submit For Auth’.
- Your screen will display “eKYC is Successfully Submitted,” and your process is complete!
Alternative Method: Offline Verification
If your mobile number is not linked to your Aadhaar card, or if you face online errors, you can visit your nearest Common Service Center (CSC). The operator there will complete your e-KYC using your fingerprints (biometric authentication) for a very nominal fee.
Make sure to finish this process immediately so that your upcoming installment arrives safely in your bank account without any delay!
