PM Kisan Yojana: Complete e-KYC to Get 23rd Instalment Soon The Central Government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, designed to provide direct financial assistance to farmers across the country, is set to release its 23rd instalment soon. Under this initiative, farmers have already received benefits through 22 instalments, with each payment amounting to ₹2,000. The annual sum of ₹6,000 is disbursed in three instalments, with the first typically released within four months of the financial year’s start on April 1st. However, beneficiaries must complete all required formalities, including mandatory e-KYC verification, to ensure timely receipt of the upcoming payment. The e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) process is now compulsory for all beneficiaries. Farmers are required to link their bank accounts with their Aadhaar numbers and provide accurate bank details to facilitate the disbursement. If Aadhaar numbers are not properly linked to bank accounts, the instalment may be delayed or halted. The government has emphasized that this verification step is critical to prevent fraudulent claims and ensure funds reach the intended recipients. To complete the e-KYC verification, farmers have two options. The first involves visiting the official PM Kisan Samman Nidhi portal at pmkisan.gov.in. They must enter their Aadhaar number and registered mobile number, then verify via OTP (One-Time Password) before submitting the form. Alternatively, farmers can visit a nearby Common Service Center (CSC) for biometric e-KYC verification. Both methods are designed to streamline the process while maintaining security and accuracy. In cases where farmers face issues with receiving funds, they can contact the designated helpline for assistance.#common_service_center #pm_kisan_samman_nidhi #aadhaar_number #indian_rice_exporters_federation #pmkisan_gov_in
PM Kisan Yojana 22nd Installment Delay: Farmers Await Payment Amid Name Removals The 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme has been confirmed to be released on a specific date, though the exact timing remains under discussion. Farmers in Uttar Pradesh and other states have been waiting for the payment, which was initially expected to be disbursed before Holi but has faced delays. The 21st installment was released in November 2025, and the 22nd is now set to follow, though the process has been slowed by administrative challenges. Farmers in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh have seen their names removed from the scheme due to discrepancies in data verification. Reports indicate that nearly 19 lakh farmers in Uttar Pradesh had their names excluded, followed by hundreds of thousands in Rajasthan and 1.66 lakh in Madhya Pradesh. These exclusions are part of an effort to address fraudulent claims, including cases where multiple farmers were listed under a single plot or where deceased individuals were still receiving payments. The PM Kisan scheme, launched on February 24, 2019, has been operational for seven years. Under the program, eligible farmers receive Rs 2,000 every three months, totaling Rs 6,000 annually. However, farmers in Bihar are now set to receive Rs 3,000 per installment, bringing their annual total to Rs 9,000. The 22nd installment is expected to be released in March 2026, aligning with the scheme’s regular disbursement cycle. The delay in releasing the 22nd installment is attributed to the verification of farmer IDs, which are now mandatory for all beneficiaries. Despite efforts to update records, the process remains incomplete, causing the delay. Officials have confirmed that the payment will eventually be disbursed once all administrative hurdles are resolved.#rajasthan #uttar_pradesh #madhya_pradesh #bihar #pm_kisan_samman_nidhi
