Indian farmers are excited and waiting for the 20th payment of the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi Yojana, which helps support their farming needs.The amount will be deposited up to June 2025. Previously, more than ₹22,000 crore was deposited under the 19th installment to almost 9.8 crore farmers in early this year. But here, farmers need to do one crucial thing in order to receive the cash—e-KYC.
Who is Eligible for PM-KISAN Benefit?
The PM-KISAN scheme, run by the central government, offers yearly financial aid of ₹6,000 to small and marginal farmers, distributed in three parts of ₹2,000 each. The fund provides them with an opportunity to purchase seeds, fertilizers, and other farm equipment without taking loans.
Why e-KYC is Necessary
To receive the next installment, farmers must complete Aadhaar-based e-KYC. Else, payment will be delayed or denied. It is a small but significant step. Getting it done in time means getting your money without hassle.
How to Do e-KYC Using Phone
You can even do e-KYC sitting at home with your smartphone. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Visit the official PM-KISAN portal.
2. Click on ‘Farmers Corner.’
3. Select the ‘e-KYC’ option.
4. Enter your Aadhaar number.
5. The phone number connected to your Aadhaar will be given a OTP (one-time password).
6. Once the OTP is verified successfully, your eKYC process ends.
What If Your Aadhaar Is Not Linked Yet?
No problem. Just a visit to the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) for biometric authentication. They will assist you in performing your e-KYC.
What Documents Do I Need for PM-KISAN?
Not everyone can avail themselves of this scheme. To be eligible, you require:
– Aadhaar Card
– Identification documents indicating you are an Indian national
– Land documents of ownership
– Make sure your bank account is linked to Aadhaar
Keep this information handy so that it’ll save you time and trouble during registration or when receiving payments.
In case of any issue, do this for assistance:
– Dial 155261 or 011-24300606
– Go to your nearby CSC, state Seva Kendra, or ask your agriculture officer
Your 20th PM-KISAN payment is arriving. To get your ₹2,000 on time, perform your e-KYC as soon as possible offline or online. It takes a matter of minutes and ensures that you benefit from the support that you are eligible to get.
