However, the government has not yet officially confirmed the date. Considering the trend of previous installments, it is believed that the amount may be released in February this year as well. In such a situation, farmers need to complete some necessary tasks in the scheme on time; otherwise, they will not receive the benefit of the next installment. If e-KYC is incomplete, the bank account is not linked to Aadhaar, or any incorrect information was entered during the application process, your next installment may be withheld.
The most important condition for receiving uninterrupted benefits from the PM Kisan Yojana is to complete e-KYC in the scheme. Farmers who have not yet completed e-KYC may have their next installment stopped. Farmers can complete e-KYC through OTP by visiting the official portal of the scheme, pmkisan.gov.in. They can also complete this process by visiting their nearest Common Service Center (CSC).
In addition, farmers’ bank accounts must be linked to Aadhaar. In many cases, it has been observed that farmers do not receive the benefits of this scheme due to the lack of Aadhaar-bank linking. Farmers can check with their bank to find out if their account is properly linked to Aadhaar and whether DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) is enabled.
Incorrect information entered while applying for the scheme can also be a major reason for the installment being withheld. If there is any mistake in the spelling of the name, Aadhaar number, bank account number, or land records, you will not receive the benefit of the 22nd installment. Therefore, you should get this mistake corrected as well.
Farmers can also easily check the status of their installment. To check their status, farmers need to visit the official PM Kisan website and enter their Aadhaar number or registration number in the Beneficiary Status section. This will show them their status. The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a flagship farmer welfare scheme of the central government, providing eligible farmers with an annual assistance of Rs. 6,000. This amount is transferred directly to the farmers’ bank accounts in three equal installments. The scheme aims to provide financial support to farmers for their farming expenses, ensuring stability in their income.
What are the latest indications regarding the 22nd installment?
Since the release of the 21st installment, farmers have been waiting for the 22nd installment. According to media reports, the government may release the next installment in February. Although no official date has been announced yet, considering the trends of previous years, February is considered a crucial time.
Why is e-KYC most important?
E-KYC is mandatory to continue receiving benefits under the PM Kisan scheme. Farmers whose e-KYC is incomplete may have their next installment withheld. Farmers can complete this process through OTP on the official website of the scheme, pmkisan.gov.in. Farmers who face difficulties with the online process can also get their e-KYC done at their nearest Common Service Center.
The role of Aadhaar-bank linking and DBT
Sometimes, the reason for delayed installments is that the bank account is not linked to Aadhaar. Under the PM Kisan scheme, money is sent directly to the account through DBT, so Aadhaar-bank linking and active DBT are essential. Farmers can confirm with their bank whether their account is properly linked.
Incorrect information can hinder payment
Incorrect information filled out during the application process can also be a major problem. Discrepancies in name spelling, errors in Aadhaar number, bank account number, or land records can prevent farmers from receiving the 22nd installment. In such cases, farmers should update their records in a timely manner.
