PM Kisan Yojana Update: Installment Will Stop Without e KYC — Know the Simple Process

Balasahana Suresh
Farmers enrolled under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM‑Kisan) Yojana must complete their e‑KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) process to continue receiving financial support. If e‑KYC is not completed, the upcoming installment — including the 22nd payment expected in early 2026 — may be withheld or not credited to the beneficiary’s bank account.

📌 Why e‑KYC Is Now Mandatory

The government has made Aadhaar‑based e‑KYC compulsory for PM Kisan beneficiaries to:

  • Verify identity of farmers
  • Ensure direct benefit transfer reaches the correct bank account
  • Avoid duplication or fraud in the scheme
  • Improve transparency and accountability in payments
Officials have clarified that installments can be blocked if e‑KYC isn’t completed or if Farmer ID or bank/Aadhaar linking is missing.

📆 Latest Installment Update

  • The 22nd PM Kisan installment is expected to be released between march and april 2026. Beneficiaries must complete their e‑KYC before this payment to ensure the ₹2,000 reaches their account on time.
🛠️ Simple Steps to Complete e‑KYC

You can complete your e‑KYC quickly using an active mobile number linked with Aadhaar and an OTP (One‑Time Password):

Step‑by‑Step e‑KYC Process

Visit the official PM‑Kisan website:
Go to pmkisan.gov.in on your phone or computer.

Select the “e‑KYC” option:
On the homepage, choose the e‑KYC link/button.

Enter your Aadhaar number:
Input your Aadhaar ID that is linked with your mobile number.

Verify with OTP:
You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile number. Enter it to authenticate.

Submit:
After successful OTP verification, your e‑KYC will be updated.

Once done, the system usually updates your status within a short time, allowing you to receive the next PM Kisan installment.

📱 Alternative Methods

If your mobile number isn’t linked to Aadhaar or you data-face issues:

  • Visit a Common service Centre (CSC) near you for biometric e‑KYC.
  • Some reports mention that data-face authentication via the PM‑Kisan mobile app may also be possible for e‑KYC in future updates.
⚠️ Other Causes for Installment Delay

Even with e‑KYC done, payments can still be held if:

  • Your Aadhaar isn’t linked to your bank account correctly.
  • There are mismatches in your name or land records.
  • Your bank details (account number, IFSC) are incorrect.
So it’s important to verify all your details on the PM‑Kisan portal and correct any errors well before the next installment date.

📢 Summary

  • e‑KYC is now mandatory to receive PM Kisan installments.
  • Without completing it, your Rs. 2,000 payment may be stopped.
  • The 22nd installment is expected March–April 2026.
  • You can complete e‑KYC easily with an Aadhaar‑linked mobile and OTP via the official website.
