π§Ύ How to Complete e-KYC for PM-Kisan Scheme – Everything You Need to Know!
If you’re a farmer getting help from the PM-Kisan Scheme, there’s something important you need to do: complete your e-KYC. Without it, your ₹6,000 yearly benefit might stop!
Don’t worry — it’s quick and simple. Let’s break it down.
πΎ What is PM-Kisan?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) is a government scheme that gives ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmers. This money is sent directly to your bank account in three parts — ₹2,000 every four months.
But to keep getting this money, you now need to complete your e-KYC.
π§πΎ What is e-KYC?
e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is a way to verify your identity using your Aadhaar card. It helps the government make sure the right people are getting the benefits and prevents fraud or duplicate payments.
No e-KYC = No money.
✅ Who Needs to Do It?
Every farmer registered under PM-Kisan must complete e-KYC — whether you’ve been receiving payments or have just applied.
π What You Need
To do your e-KYC, you’ll need:
-
Your Aadhaar card
-
A mobile number linked with Aadhaar (for OTP)
-
Or, access to a CSC (Common Service Center) if you don’t have Aadhaar-linked mobile
π Two Easy Ways to Do e-KYC
π» Option 1: Do it Online (if your Aadhaar is linked with mobile)
-
Visit the official PM-Kisan website
-
Click on “e-KYC” under Farmers Corner
-
Enter your Aadhaar number
-
You’ll get a one-time password (OTP) on your phone
-
Enter the OTP and submit
Done! Your e-KYC is now complete.
π’ Option 2: Visit a CSC (if your mobile isn’t linked)
If your phone number isn’t linked to Aadhaar:
-
Visit your nearest Common Service Center (CSC)
-
Bring your Aadhaar card
-
They’ll do biometric verification (thumbprint)
-
Once verified, your e-KYC will be updated
π Is There a Deadline?
Yes — the government usually sets a last date to complete e-KYC for each installment. To avoid missing out, it’s best to do it as soon as possible. You can check the deadline from your local agriculture office or nearby CSC.
π How to Check If Your e-KYC is Done
-
Visit the PM-Kisan official website
-
Click on “Beneficiary Status”
-
Enter your Aadhaar number or bank account number
-
You’ll see whether your e-KYC is complete and if your payment is on the way
π Having Issues?
Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
Issue | Solution |
---|---|
Didn’t get OTP | Make sure your number is linked with Aadhaar |
Mobile not linked to Aadhaar | Visit Aadhaar Seva Kendra to update it |
Name mismatch in Aadhaar and PM-Kisan | Update details on either Aadhaar or PM-Kisan |
