The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana is one of the main welfare schemes of the Indian government. It will be releasing its 19th installment on February 24, 2025. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive financial assistance of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each.
However, not all the farmers are entitled to get this installment. Some causes that will postpone or cancel payments can be summed up below, followed by the check you may run if you will be in that list.
Who are excluded from receiving 19th installment?
1. Farmers Who Have Not Completed e-KYC
Completing e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) is mandatory for all PM-Kisan beneficiaries.
Farmers who fail to complete this verification will have their payments withheld.
To complete e-KYC, visit the nearest Common Service Center (CSC) or complete the process online at pmkisan.gov.in.
2. Farmers Without Land Verification
The installment will be delayed for those who have not completed the land verification process.
The government mandates this verification to ensure that the land records match the beneficiary details.
3. Farmers Who Haven’t Linked Aadhaar with Bank Accounts
Aadhaar must be linked to the farmer’s bank account to receive the installment.
Farmers should update their Aadhaar details with their bank to avoid payment issues.
