PM Kisan Yojana: The 16th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan), a central government scheme launched in February 2019, has been disbursed to over 9 crore farmer families across India. This translates to an impressive Rs 21,000 crore reaching their bank accounts, bringing the total amount distributed under the scheme to over Rs 3 lakh crore in five years.
However, if you’re an eligible farmer and haven’t received the Rs 2,000 instalment in your account, don’t worry! This article will guide you through the process of checking your PM-Kisan status and troubleshooting any issues that might have caused the delay.
Why Might You Not Have Received the 16th Installment?
There could be several reasons why the money hasn’t been credited to your account:
- Incorrect information: Ensure the details you provided in your application, such as bank account number, Aadhaar number, and land records, are accurate. Any discrepancies can prevent the transfer.
- Incomplete e-KYC: Completing the electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) process is mandatory for receiving the benefit. If you haven’t done it yet, complete it at the earliest.
- Land verification issues: Delays might occur if land verification by the concerned authorities is still pending.
How to Check Your PM-Kisan Status:
Checking your application status is the first step in resolving the issue. Here’s how to do it:
- Visit the official PM-Kisan portal: https://pmkisan.gov.in/
- Scroll down to the “Farmers Corner” section.
- Click on the “Beneficiary Status” option.
- Enter either your PM-Kisan account number or your registered mobile number.
- If your mobile number is not registered, do so first to receive a one-time password (OTP) for verification.
- Click on “Get Data” after entering the required information.
- Your PM-Kisan account status will be displayed on the screen, including details about any recent payments and any existing issues.
What to Do if You Haven’t Received the Money:
If the online status shows there’s an issue or the money still hasn’t arrived even though everything seems correct, here are the next steps:
- Contact the PM-Kisan helpline: Call the toll-free number 1800-1155-266 or 155261 for assistance. You can also reach them on 011-2338-1092.
- Email: Send an email to [email protected] explaining your situation and requesting help.
