PM Kisan: Want the next installment of the scheme? Do this immediately, or else the payment could get stuck..

How to update PM Kisan e-KYC online: If you are a beneficiary of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana but have not yet completed your e-KYC, you risk missing out on the scheme's benefits. Under this government scheme, financial assistance is transferred to farmers' accounts annually, subject to meeting certain mandatory conditions—the most critical being e-KYC. Failure to complete e-KYC could result in your next installment being held up. Fortunately, this process can now be completed in just a few minutes from the comfort of your home using a mobile phone.

Farmers receive annual financial assistance.
Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, eligible farmers receive financial aid every year. This amount is transferred directly to the farmers' bank accounts in three equal installments. Currently, millions of farmers across the country are awaiting the next installment of the scheme.

Why is e-KYC mandatory?
The government has made e-KYC mandatory to ensure transparency and prevent fraud within the scheme. The objective is to ensure that the benefits reach only genuine and eligible farmers. If a beneficiary has not completed the e-KYC process, the release of their next installment could face delays. Therefore, farmers are advised to check their e-KYC status in a timely manner.

No need to visit the bank; complete e-KYC via mobile
People often assume that e-KYC requires multiple visits to a bank or government office, but that is not the case. Farmers can easily complete this process from the comfort of their homes.

How to complete e-KYC from home?

If you wish to avoid a trip to the bank, you can easily complete the process using your phone by following these simple steps:
Open the internet browser on your mobile phone.
Visit the official PM Kisan website.
Locate and click on the 'e-KYC' option on the homepage.
Enter your Aadhaar number and input the OTP (a four- or six-digit code) received on the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar. The e-KYC process will be completed as soon as the OTP is verified.
The entire process takes only a few minutes.

When will the 23rd installment be released?
The government released the previous installment in March 2026. This time, the 23rd installment will be released on June 20, 2026. This announcement was made by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Information regarding the release of the 23rd installment was also shared on the 'X' (formerly Twitter) social media handle of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

Rely only on official information.
Various types of information regarding dates and installments related to the PM Kisan Yojana frequently go viral on social media. Farmers are, therefore, advised to rely solely on official updates and information available on the government portal.
