The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme provides financial support to small and marginal farmers across India. With the 21st installment of PM-KISAN set to be released soon, eligible farmers need to ensure that their Aadhaar and bank details are updated, or they may data-face delays in receiving their payment.

Here’s everything you need to know to avoid your PM-KISAN money getting stuck.

Step 1: Check Your Aadhaar Linking Status

Your Aadhaar number must be linked to your PM-KISAN account. To check:

Visit the official PM-KISAN portal: https://pmkisan.gov.in

Click on “Farmer Corner” → “Verify Aadhaar Status”

Enter your Aadhaar number and verify if it’s linked with your PM-KISAN account.

If your Aadhaar is not linked, you will need to link it immediately online to avoid delays in receiving your installment.

Step 2: Complete e-KYC

e-KYC is the process of electronically verifying your identity using Aadhaar. PM-KISAN uses this to confirm that you are eligible for the scheme.

To complete e-KYC:

Log in to the PM-KISAN portal.

Go to “Farmer Corner → e-KYC”

Enter your Aadhaar number and OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

Submit the verification.

⚠️ Important: Your registered mobile number must match the one linked to your Aadhaar to complete e-KYC successfully.

Step 3: Update bank Details if Necessary

The PM-KISAN installments are directly deposited into your bank account. If your bank details have changed, you must update them:

Go to “Farmer Corner → Edit bank Account Details”

Enter your Aadhaar number, registered mobile number, and new bank account information

Verify your details and submit.

Failure to update bank details may result in the installment being held or rejected.

Step 4: Track Your PM-KISAN Installment

Once you have completed Aadhaar linking, e-KYC, and bank detail updates, you can track your installment status:

Visit “Farmer Corner → Beneficiary Status” on the PM-KISAN portal

Enter your Aadhaar, bank account, or mobile number

Check whether your 21st installment has been processed or pending.

Quick Tips for Farmers

Ensure your Aadhaar and bank accounts are active and linked correctly.

Keep your registered mobile number updated to receive OTPs.

Double-check spelling errors in Aadhaar or bank account details to avoid rejection.

Farmers who have already updated their details don’t need to take any further action; their installment will be credited automatically.

Completing these Aadhaar-related steps online is crucial to ensure that your PM-KISAN installment reaches you without delay. Avoid waiting in long queues or visiting government offices; most updates can be done quickly and securely from your home.
