The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a flagship scheme by the Government of India, provides ₹6,000 annually to eligible farmers in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. However, if you’re a beneficiary or planning to register, Aadhaar-based e-KYC is now mandatory. Without completing e-KYC, you will not receive any further payments under this scheme.
This article explains the need for Aadhaar e-KYC, how to complete it, and answers common questions in simple and clear language.
What Is PM Kisan Yojana?
PM-KISAN (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi) is a central government scheme launched in 2019 to support small and marginal farmers. It offers direct financial help of ₹6,000 per year in three parts:
- ₹2,000 every four months
- Direct transfer to the farmer’s bank account
- Open only to eligible landholding farmer families
Attention: No Money Without Aadhaar e-KYC!
The government has made it compulsory to complete Aadhaar e-KYC for all farmers who wish to continue receiving PM-KISAN installments.
Without Aadhaar e-KYC:
- You will not get the next installment
- Your PM Kisan account may get blocked or frozen
- You may be marked ineligible for future payments
The government has taken this step to ensure:
- Transparency
- Removal of fake beneficiaries
- Proper fund utilization

Why e-KYC Is Mandatory?
The Aadhaar-based KYC helps the government:
- Verify genuine farmers
- Eliminate duplicates or fraud
- Link Aadhaar with bank accounts
- Ensure direct benefit transfer (DBT) is accurate
This makes the process more efficient and ensures only rightful beneficiaries receive the amount.

You can do your e-KYC from the comfort of your home if your mobile number is linked with Aadhaar.
Steps to complete e-KYC online:
- Visit https://pmkisan.gov.in
- Click on “e-KYC” under Farmer Corner

If your mobile is not linked with Aadhaar, or you face technical problems, visit your nearest CSC center.
Carry the following:

Deadline to Complete e-KYC
The government often announces a deadline before releasing each installment. Make sure to:
- Complete e-KYC well in advance
- Keep checking the PM Kisan official website or contact your local agriculture officer
- Keep your Aadhaar and bank details updated
What Happens If You Don’t Do e-KYC?

So it’s better to complete the process as soon as possible.
