The central government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues to provide vital financial support to farmers across the country. Under this scheme, registered farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three installments of ₹2,000 each.
So far, 18 installments have been successfully transferred, and farmers are now eagerly awaiting the 19th installment. According to reports, the next ₹2,000 installment is expected to be released in the first week of February. However, farmers must complete certain crucial tasks to ensure they receive the payment without any delays.
Steps to Take Before the 19th Installment
To receive the 19th installment under the PM Kisan Yojana, farmers must ensure the following tasks are completed:
- e-KYC Completion:
e-KYC is mandatory for all beneficiaries. Without this, the installment will not be credited to your account. - Land Verification:
Farmers must verify land ownership records to avoid issues with installment eligibility. - Link Aadhaar to Bank Account:
Ensure that your Aadhaar number is correctly linked to your bank account for seamless fund transfer.
Consequences of Not Completing These Steps
Farmers who fail to complete these steps may face delays or suspension of payments. In previous cases, many beneficiaries had their payments withheld due to incomplete e-KYC. Once e-KYC is completed, any pending installments will be transferred.
How to Complete e-KYC
Follow these simple steps to complete the e-KYC process:
- Visit the official PM Kisan Yojana website: pmkisan.gov.in.
- Click on the e-KYC option on the homepage.
- Enter your Aadhaar number and click Get OTP.
- Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
- Submit the details to complete the e-KYC process.
Farmers are urged to act promptly to ensure they can benefit from the upcoming 19th installment under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
