PM Kisan 23rd Installment: Check These 5 Important Details Now or Your ₹2,000 Payment May Get Stuck
Millions of farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the 23rd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to release the latest installment from Tarakeswar in Hooghly, West Bengal, transferring more than ₹18,880 crore directly into the bank accounts of around 9.44 crore farmers.
Delhi News Info Desk: However, not every registered beneficiary may receive the ₹2,000 PM Kisan installment. Several farmers could face payment delays or rejection due to incomplete verification, incorrect details, or eligibility-related issues.
To avoid missing out on the upcoming payment, beneficiaries should carefully verify these five important details before the installment is credited.
1. Complete Your e-KYC Immediately
The government has made e-KYC mandatory for all beneficiaries under the PM Kisan Scheme. Farmers who have not completed this process may not receive their installment.
The government currently offers three methods to complete e-KYC:
- OTP-based e-KYC through the PM Kisan portal or mobile app.
- Biometric e-KYC at Common Service Centres (CSC).
- Face Authentication e-KYC through the PM Kisan mobile application.
Without successful e-KYC verification, the payment may remain on hold.
2. Ensure Aadhaar and PM Kisan Details Match
One of the most common reasons for payment failure is a mismatch between Aadhaar records and PM Kisan registration details.
Farmers should verify that the following information matches exactly:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Gender
- Aadhaar Number
Even minor spelling mistakes or incorrect information can cause verification failures and delay the transfer of funds.
3. Verify Your Bank Account Information
Since PM Kisan payments are transferred through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, correct banking information is essential.
Farmers should check:
- Bank account number
- IFSC code
- Aadhaar-bank account linking status
- Active account status
If the bank account is inactive, closed, incorrectly linked, or contains incorrect information, the ₹2,000 installment may not be credited.
4. Complete Land Record Verification
Verification of agricultural land records is a mandatory requirement under the scheme.
If land documents remain unverified or pending approval by state authorities, the installment can be withheld.
Additionally, beneficiaries may lose eligibility if agricultural land is found to be used for non-agricultural purposes. Farmers should ensure all land records are updated and properly verified.
5. Check Whether You Still Meet Eligibility Criteria
Not every registered individual qualifies for benefits under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
Certain categories are excluded from the scheme, including:
- Income taxpayers
- Serving or retired government employees (except certain eligible categories)
- Doctors
- Engineers
- Chartered Accountants
- Lawyers
- Other high-income professionals
If a beneficiary is found ineligible during verification, future installments may be stopped immediately.
