The names of millions of farmers have been removed from the PM Kisan Yojana; check if yours is included.

PM Kisan Yojana: A re-verification of PM Kisan beneficiaries has removed many names from the list. Be sure to check your status online before the next installment to avoid any delays in payment.

PM Kisan Yojana: Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers are provided financial assistance of ₹2,000 every four months. So far, 21 installments of this scheme have been released. Millions of farmers across the country are awaiting the 22nd installment. A major update has arrived for farmers ahead of the 22nd installment.

A re-verification of beneficiaries under the scheme has removed millions of names from the list. Therefore, it is important to check your status promptly. Find out why farmers' names are being removed and whether your name is included in this list.

Why are names being removed?

The government is continuously ensuring that only eligible farmers receive benefits under the scheme. A verification drive has been launched for this purpose. The investigation has revealed two major reasons. First, changes in land records. The documents of farmers whose land was registered after February 1, 2019, are being re-verified. If ownership rights are not clear by the due date, eligibility may be questioned.

The second reason is family-related rules. According to the scheme, only one member of a family can receive benefits. In some cases, both husband and wife were receiving installments. In such cases, payments have been stopped. If the investigation finds you correct, the amount can be released. Otherwise, recovery may also be required.

How to check if your name is on the list?

To check your PM Kisan Yojana status, you can check online from home. First, visit the official website pmkisan.gov.in. Select the Know Your Status option in the Farmers' Corner on the homepage. Enter your registration number or mobile number, fill in the captcha, and click Get Data.

When might the 22nd installment arrive?

It's estimated that ₹2,000 could be transferred to accounts in the first week of March 2026 or before Holi. So, keep your information updated.
