Crores of farmers of the country take advantage of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, an amount of ₹ 6000 is given by the government every year in three installments. So far, the money for a total of 19 installments of this scheme has been sent to the farmers’ accounts. Now all the beneficiary farmers are eagerly waiting for the release of the 20th installment.
Ending this wait, the country’s Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced the date of release of the 20th installment. If you also take advantage of this scheme, then complete a very important work before the next installment is released. If you do not do this, your installment money may get stuck.
Why should farmers get e-KYC done
The next, i.e., 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is going to be released by the government. In such a situation, farmers will have to get important work done on time to get this installment. There are clear instructions from the government that the information of the beneficiaries should be completely updated. Many farmers have not yet gotten their e-KYC done.
The government has been informing farmers to get this work done for a long time, but still, many farmers have not completed it. If you too do not get this work done as soon as possible, then the money of the next installment may get stuck from coming into your account. With e-KYC, the government ensures that the benefits of the scheme are reaching the right person.
Easy way to get e-KYC done
To get e-KYC done, you can follow these easy steps:
Step 1: First of all, go to the pmkisan.gov.in website.
Step 2: Click on the ‘e-KYC’ option given on the homepage.
Step 3: Now enter your Aadhaar number and search.
Step 4: After this, an OTP will come to the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar.
Step 5: Enter that OTP and submit.
If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar or the OTP is not coming, then you can go to your nearest CSC (Common Service Center) center. E-KYC can also be done there through biometrics.
When will the 20th installment be released
The country’s Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan has officially said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 20th installment of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana on August 2.
Therefore, farmers must complete all the work related to their account before their installment is released. Apart from e-KYC, also make sure that your bank account information, such as bank account number and IFSC code, is correct.
