PM Modi Transfers Funds to 9.7 Crore Farmers Under PM-KISAN Scheme
The 19th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has been officially disbursed, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually transferring the funds to 9.7 crore farmers across India. The event, broadcast live from the Nawabganj development block auditorium, reinforced the government’s commitment to supporting farmers financially for agricultural development.
However, while millions of farmers received their payments, some eligible beneficiaries may not have seen the funds credited to their bank accounts. If you’re among those who haven’t received the installment, here’s what you need to do to resolve the issue.
Step 1: Ensure Your e-KYC is Updated
One of the most common reasons for payment failure under the PM-KISAN scheme is an incomplete or outdated e-KYC. As per the latest guidelines, e-KYC is mandatory for all beneficiaries.
✅ How to Complete e-KYC:
- Visit the official PM-KISAN portal (pmkisan.gov.in).
- Use the Aadhaar OTP-based verification to complete the process online.
- Alternatively, visit your nearest Common Service Center (CSC) for biometric verification.
Farmers who haven’t completed their e-KYC will not receive their payments, so it’s crucial to get this updated at the earliest.
Step 2: Verify Your Bank Account & Aadhaar Details
Another major reason for payment failure is incorrect banking information or a mismatch between Aadhaar and bank details. To ensure seamless fund transfers:
🔹 Make sure your Aadhaar is linked to your bank account.
🔹 Double-check your bank account details on the PM-KISAN portal.
🔹 Ensure land ownership documents are accurately uploaded and verified.
Farmers can update their bank details and Aadhaar linkage by visiting their respective bank branches or accessing the PM-KISAN portal.
Step 3: Check Eligibility Criteria
Not all farmers qualify for PM-KISAN benefits. The government has strict eligibility conditions, and ineligibility could be another reason for non-payment.
🔸 Who is NOT Eligible for PM-KISAN?
🚫 Institutional Landholders – Those who own large agricultural land under an institution’s name.
🚫 Income Tax Payers – If you paid income tax in the last financial year, you are automatically excluded from the scheme.
🚫 Government Employees – Current and retired government officials (except Group D employees and Multi-Tasking Staff) do not qualify.
🚫 Political Representatives – MPs, MLAs, Ministers, Mayors, and District Panchayat Heads are not eligible.
🚫 High Pension Earners – Retired individuals receiving pensions above ₹10,000 per month cannot avail the benefits.
If you fall under any of these categories, you will not receive PM-KISAN installments even if you applied for the scheme.
