PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: E-KYC Mandatory To Get Rs 2000 in 11th Installment. Here’s How To Do It

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: It is expected that the Centre, this year too, could release the funds around May 2022.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Latest News Today: As only a few days left for the release of the 11th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, eligible farmers must be ready with all the necessary documents to avail the benefit of the scheme. Among other important documentation, eKYC is mandatory for all registered farmers.

Last year, the Central government had rolled out the installment on May 15, hence, it expected that the Centre, this year too, could release the funds around the same date. However, the beneficiary farmers must note that without completing e-KYC, they cannot avail any benefit from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a central government scheme with 100% funding from the Centre for the farmers. As part of the scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6000 every year from the Centre. The funds from the Centre are transferred in three installments of Rs 2000 each.

The farmers must note that the update in eKYC is done through Aadhaar-based OTP authentication facility. The Aadhaar-based OTP authentication which was temporarily suspended is now restored at the official PM KISAN portal again.
