PM Kisan Yojana 22nd Installment: What Farmers Must Do to Receive ₹2000

The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme is set to release its 22nd installment soon. Eligible farmers will receive ₹2000 directly into their bank accounts. To ensure smooth transfer, completing e-KYC has become mandatory, and now it can be done easily through face authentication.

When Will the 22nd Installment Be Credited?

The government has indicated that the 22nd installment will be credited soon. Under this scheme, farmers receive ₹6000 annually in three installments. The amount is transferred directly via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) to avoid delays or middleman issues.

Mandatory e-KYC

To receive the installment, farmers must complete e-KYC. Without it, the transfer will not happen.

New Update: Farmers can now complete e-KYC through face authentication. This eliminates the need for OTPs or fingerprints—farmers simply scan their face via mobile, and the process is completed.

Why Face Authentication Helps Farmers

Earlier, many farmers faced OTP or Aadhaar-linking issues, especially in rural areas with poor network connectivity. Face authentication simplifies the process, allowing farmers to receive their installments without hassle.

Importance of the PM Kisan Scheme

The PM Kisan Yojana provides financial support to farmers amid rising costs and unpredictable weather. While ₹6000 annually may not seem like a large sum, it significantly helps small farmers with seeds, fertilizers, and other essential farming expenses.

Key Takeaway

Farmers waiting for the 22nd installment should complete their e-KYC immediately. Face authentication has made this process simpler and faster. The government aims to ensure no eligible farmer misses out on timely financial assistance.
