The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana is a flagship scheme of the government of India, providing financial support of ₹6,000 per year to small and marginal farmers in three equal instalments. Millions of farmers across the country benefit from this scheme, but delays in receiving the instalments are often reported due to common mistakes.
Common Mistakes That Can Delay Your PM Kisan Instalments
Not Updating bank Account Details:
If your bank account number, IFSC code, or account type has changed, failing to update it in the PM-Kisan portal can result in instalment delays.
Always verify that your bank account is active and linked correctly.
Incomplete Aadhaar Linking:
PM Kisan Yojana payments are directly linked to your Aadhaar number.
Any mismatch in Aadhaar details, or failure to link Aadhaar with your bank account, can prevent the instalment from being credited.
Incorrect Farmer Details:
Errors in name, village, or other personal information during registration may lead to delays.
Ensure that all personal and landholding details are accurate and match government records.
Not Updating Land Records:
Farmers must have updated landholding details in the revenue records.
If your land ownership or size has changed and is not reflected, payments can be held.
Failure to Check Payment Status:
Sometimes the instalment is delayed due to technical issues. Regularly check your payment status on the PM-Kisan portal to identify any issues early.
How to Avoid Delays
- Regularly Update Your Details: Keep Aadhaar, bank account, and land records up-to-date.
- Check the Official Portal: Use https://pmkisan.gov.in to verify your details and payment status.
- Contact local Authorities: If issues persist, reach out to your village revenue officer or the local PM-Kisan facilitation center.
Conclusion
While the PM Kisan Yojana provides crucial financial support, many farmers face delays simply due to avoidable errors in updating their details. By keeping bank, Aadhaar, and land records accurate, farmers can ensure that they receive their next instalment on time and continue to benefit from this important scheme.
