PM Kisan e-KYC: If you are a beneficiary of the PM Kisan scheme and have not received the Rs 2,000 installment (the 24th installment), ensure that you complete your e-KYC before the 25th installment is released. This step is mandatory. To avail the benefits of this government scheme, e-KYC is essential for all farmers.
If you have not yet completed your e-KYC, you may face issues receiving the 25th installment. Previously, one had to visit a government office to complete the e-KYC process; however, farmers can now complete it online from the comfort of their homes using their mobile phones. In this article, we will explain how to complete the e-KYC process and how to check its status.
Why is e-KYC necessary for the PM Kisan scheme?
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers receive financial assistance of Rs 6,000 annually. This amount is disbursed in three installments—meaning Rs 2,000 is credited to the farmers’ accounts every four months. To facilitate this, the government requires farmers to complete an e-KYC process to verify their identity. This is why e-KYC is crucial.
