Pm Kisan Update: The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is about to come, but before that, it is important for the farmers to complete some very important tasks. If these tasks are not completed, then the benefit of your next installment may be stuck. More than half of the country’s population is dependent on agriculture, but there are many small and marginal farmers whose farming barely covers the household expenses.
To provide financial assistance to such farmers, the Government of India started this scheme in the year 2018. Under this, the government gives ₹ 6,000 annually to all eligible farmers of the country, which is transferred directly to their bank accounts in the form of installments of ₹ 2,000 every four months.
So far 19 installments have been sent, and farmers are eagerly waiting for the 20th installment. If we look at the interval of 4 months, then the 19th installment was released in February, and now almost 4 months have passed. In such a situation, it is estimated that the 20th installment can come into the accounts of farmers in the last week of June or early July. However, the government has not yet announced any official date.
It is very important to complete these tasks for the 20th installment
Before the installment is released, farmers must complete some important tasks, otherwise, the benefit of your next installment may stop:
Complete e-KYC
This is the most important task. Farmers who have not yet got their e-KYC done, have to complete it immediately. Without this, you will not be able to get the benefit of the scheme.
Aadhaar-Bank Account Linking
Make sure that your bank account is linked to Aadhaar. If your bank account is not linked to Aadhaar, or there is any wrong information in it, then you may face problems.
Accurate information
The information given in your bank account and Aadhaar should be accurate and match. Any kind of discrepancy can stop the payment.
If you are also one of those farmers who have not done all these things yet, then your installment can also get stuck.
How to do e-KYC and Aadhaar-Bank Linking
E-KYC and Aadhaar-Bank Account Linking has now become easier than ever:
e-KYC Online
You can also get your e-KYC done online. For this, you have to go to the official website of PM Kisan Yojana and choose the option of e-KYC in the Farmers Corner section. This process can be completed through Aadhaar number and OTP verification.
Aadhaar-Bank Account Linking Online
Many banks are now providing customers the facility to link their Aadhaar to their bank account through online mediums (such as net banking or through the bank’s mobile app).
By visiting the bank
If this facility is not available online in your bank, then you will have to go to your bank branch. There you can apply for Aadhaar linking. For this, you will have to take your Aadhaar card and bank passbook. Bank officials will help you.
