PM Kisan Yojana: For millions of farmers in the country, the central government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a significant help. Farmers who have already received 21 installments are now waiting for the next one. But before the expected 22nd installment in February, there is an important task that, if ignored, could result in the withholding of the Rs. 2,000 payment.

The government has made e-KYC mandatory to make the scheme transparent and prevent fraudulent beneficiaries. If your Aadhaar card and mobile number do not match correctly, the 22nd installment will not be credited to your account. Many farmers did not receive payment in the previous installment for this very reason.
