The PM Kisan Samman nidhi Scheme has been a major support for millions of farmers across India, offering Rs 6,000 annually in three installments to eligible farmers. However, recent updates from the government have highlighted that incorrect or incomplete e-KYC, land record verification, or bank account linking could result in farmers being deprived of the next installment of the PM-KISAN scheme.
Here’s what you need to know to ensure that you receive your next installment without any hassles:
1. Why e-KYC is Crucial for PM Kisan Beneficiaries?
e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is an essential verification process that ensures the authenticity of the farmer’s identity. The government has made it mandatory for all beneficiaries to complete the e-KYC process. If your e-KYC is not updated or verified, you won’t receive the next installment of the PM-KISAN scheme.
· How to complete e-KYC?
o Farmers can visit the official PM-Kisan website or visit a nearby Common service Center (CSC) for e-KYC completion.
o It typically involves Aadhaar authentication via OTP or biometric verification, confirming your identity.
2. Land Records Verification: Ensuring Accurate Information
For PM Kisan, it’s crucial that your land records are up-to-date and correctly linked to your account. If the information about the land ownership doesn’t match what’s in the official records, you could lose eligibility for the next payment.
· Steps to verify land records:
o Visit your State Revenue Department or check the PM Kisan Portal to verify the details of your land.
o Ensure that your landholding details (area, ownership, etc.) are accurate and match the records of the concerned authorities.
o If discrepancies exist, get them corrected at the local revenue office to ensure smooth processing.
3. Bank Account Linking: Ensure Accurate bank Details
Your bank account must be correctly linked to your PM Kisan account for the installments to be credited smoothly. If your bank details are incorrect, the payment could be delayed or missed altogether.
· Check bank Linkage:
o Verify that your bank account number and IFSC code are correctly linked to the PM Kisan account.
o If you’ve changed your bank account recently, update the details on the PM Kisan portal immediately.
o If necessary, visit your bank branch to confirm the linkage.
4. How to Correct Issues with e-KYC, Land Records, or bank Linking?
If any of these three issues—e-KYC, land records, or bank account details—are incorrect, you will need to take immediate action to correct them:
· e-KYC Issues: If you are facing issues with completing your e-KYC, contact the nearest Common service Center (CSC) for assistance.
· Land Records: Visit your local revenue office or use online portals (if available) to update land records.
· Bank Account Linking: Go to the PM Kisan portal and update your bank account details or visit your bank branch for corrections.
5. Consequences of Not Updating Your Details
If you fail to update any of the required details, including e-KYC, land records, or bank account information, you won’t receive the next installment of the PM-KISAN scheme. The government has already issued warnings to beneficiaries, urging them to ensure that their information is accurate and up-to-date.
Key consequences:
· Delayed payments: You won’t receive your PM-KISAN installment on time if the necessary verifications aren’t completed.
· Deprivation of funds: In extreme cases, if discrepancies are not fixed in time, you may be completely excluded from receiving future installments.
6. Take Action Now: Last Chance to Ensure Eligibility
The government has given a clear deadline for farmers to complete their updates. Make sure you act swiftly to avoid missing out on your next PM-KISAN payment. Here's what you should do now:
· Complete e-KYC immediately: Visit your nearest CSC or do it online.
· Verify and update land records: Ensure your land details are accurate on the PM Kisan portal.
· Check bank account details: Verify that your bank account is properly linked to your PM Kisan profile.
Conclusion: Don’t Miss Your Next PM Kisan Installment
The PM Kisan Samman nidhi Scheme has been a lifeline for many farmers across India, but it’s crucial that you keep your records updated to continue receiving your installments. Ensure that your e-KYC, land records, and bank account details are correct, and avoid any delays or issues in receiving your next payment.
