Update Your e-KYC and Bank Details Now to Receive the Next PM-Kisan Installment
The Government of India is preparing to release the 21st installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, and all registered farmers are urged to complete their e-KYC, Aadhaar linking, and bank detail updates without delay. These updates are mandatory to ensure that the installment amount is directly credited to the rightful beneficiary’s bank account.
If you are a PM-Kisan beneficiary and wish to receive your next payment, it’s essential to verify and update your details online. Missing this step could result in the non-receipt of the 21st installment. The process is quick and can be done easily from home using a smartphone or computer.
Why e-KYC is Important for PM-Kisan Beneficiaries
The e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) process helps the government confirm that the financial assistance is reaching the genuine farmer and not being misused. In recent years, several cases have surfaced where fraudulent entities used farmers’ data to divert funds illegally.
To prevent such scams and ensure transparency, the government has made e-KYC and Aadhaar linking mandatory. When your Aadhaar, bank, and PM-Kisan records match, the payment is automatically processed to your account without any delay or error.
Therefore, updating e-KYC isn’t just a formality—it’s a safeguard that ensures your installment reaches your account securely.
How to Complete PM-Kisan e-KYC Online
Farmers can easily update their KYC online by following these steps:
-
Visit the official PM-Kisan website – pmkisan.gov.in.
-
On the homepage, find and click the ‘e-KYC’ option on the right side of the screen.
-
A new page will open where you need to enter your Aadhaar number and click on ‘Search’.
-
You’ll receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Enter this OTP to verify.

Once the OTP is submitted successfully, your e-KYC will be completed.
This online process is fast, simple, and can be done anytime without visiting any office.

Final Reminder for Farmers
The government is expected to release the 21st installment of PM-Kisan soon, and completing your e-KYC and bank detail update is crucial to avoid payment delays.
