PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central government scheme launched on 24 February 2019 that provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to eligible landholding farmer families across India. The amount is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, every four months, directly into Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.

The scheme has covered more than 11 crore farmer families since launch, with total disbursements exceeding ₹4.27 lakh crore. Budget 2026–27 allocated ₹60,000 crore for PM-KISAN — confirming its continued priority in central farm welfare spending.

The 23rd installment was released at a public event in Tarakeswar, Hooghly, West Bengal. The 24th installment covering the August–November 2026 period is anticipated in October 2026, consistent with the scheme's four-month cycle — but the official date will be announced by the government closer to the time.

• Retired government employees drawing pension of ₹10,000 or more per month
• Income tax payers
• Professionals registered with professional bodies (doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants, architects)

Aadhaar-based e-KYC is mandatory for all PM-KISAN beneficiaries. Incomplete e-KYC means the ₹2,000 installment is withheld regardless of when the government releases it.

How to complete e-KYC:

Option 1 — OTP method on portal (fastest):

1. Visit pmkisan.gov.in and click 'eKYC' under Farmers Corner
2. Enter your Aadhaar number and click 'Search'
3. Enter the OTP received on your Aadhaar-linked mobile number
4. e-KYC is complete

Option 2 — Face Authentication via PMKISAN app:

1. Download PMKISAN GoI app
2. Click 'Face Authentication eKYC'
3. Enter your Aadhaar number and allow camera access
4. Complete the face scan — this works even if your Aadhaar mobile number is inactive

Option 3 — Visit CSC (Common Service Centre): Visit your nearest CSC for biometric-based e-KYC if both OTP and face authentication fail.

The most common reasons for non-payment, and how to fix each:

e-KYC not completed: Complete e-KYC on pmkisan.gov.in using OTP, the PMKISAN app (Face Auth), or at a CSC before the next installment release date.

Aadhaar not linked to bank account (NPCI seeding missing): The payment goes to the account mapped in the NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) mapper — not just any Aadhaar-linked account. Visit your bank branch and fill the "DBT/NPCI Aadhaar Seeding form" to ensure your account is correctly seeded.

Name mismatch between Aadhaar and PM Kisan records: If the name in your PM Kisan registration differs from your Aadhaar, the payment can fail. Correct through the "Updation of Self-Registered Farmers" option in Farmers Corner, or visit your nearest Agriculture Department office.

Incorrect bank account details: Update your bank account details at pmkisan.gov.in under Farmers Corner → 'Updation of Self-Registered Farmers'.

Land record dispute or state data issue: If state land records show a discrepancy in the land registered under your name, contact your state's agriculture department for correction.

Included in exclusion category: If any family member is now a government employee, income tax payer, or has become ineligible, the family should voluntarily opt out using the "Give Up" option on the portal to avoid compliance issues.

The Unique Farmer ID (also called Farmer Registry ID) is a new digital identity under the AgriStack initiative that consolidates a farmer's land, crop, livestock, and income data in one digital record. The government has made Farmer ID mandatory for new registrations in 14 states as of 2026 and is expected to extend this requirement nationally for future installments.

If you have not yet enrolled for a Farmer ID, apply at your nearest CSC or Agriculture office with your Aadhaar, land records, and bank passbook.
