PM Kisan e-KYC: Complete Now to Get 22nd Installment

Millions of farmers across India eagerly await the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, but a simple step could prevent them from receiving their money. Completing the e-KYC process on time is crucial to avoid any blockage of the ₹2,000 installment.

Why e-KYC is Mandatory for PM Kisan Beneficiaries

The government has emphasized that e-KYC verification is essential to maintain transparency in the scheme and to prevent fraud. Farmers whose Aadhaar and registered mobile numbers do not match may face delays or rejection of their installment. In fact, many farmers missed out on their last installment due to this technical mismatch.

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing PM Kisan e-KYC

You can complete the e-KYC process quickly from your smartphone without visiting a cyber cafe. Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the official PM Kisan portal at pmkisan.gov.in.
2. Navigate to the ‘Farmers Corner’ section on the homepage.
3. Click on the ‘e-KYC’ option.
4. Enter your Aadhaar number. An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number.
5. Enter the OTP and submit the form. Once you see the message ‘Successfully Submitted’, your e-KYC process is complete.

Expected Date for the 22nd Installment

PM Kisan installments are released every four months. The previous installment was sent by PM Modi to nearly 90 million farmers from Coimbatore on November 19, 2025. Following the four-month cycle, the next installment of ₹2,000 is expected to be credited in February 2026, although the official date is yet to be announced.

Purpose of Financial Assistance Under PM Kisan

The PM Kisan Yojana aims to provide financial support to small and marginal farmers for their basic agricultural needs, such as seeds, fertilizers, and other essential resources. Each farmer receives a total of ₹6,000 annually, distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each directly into their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

• The process is simple and can be done online via your smartphone.
• The next ₹2,000 installment is expected in February 2026.
• Annual assistance of ₹6,000 supports farmers in purchasing essential farming inputs.
