What is pm kisan ekyc and why is it mandatory now?

pm kisan ekyc verifies a beneficiary’s identity using Aadhaar. It is mandatory to receive DBT under PM-KISAN. Completing eKYC before the 22nd installment helps pass Aadhaar, land, and bank checks. Without it, the Rs 2,000 transfer can be held until verification is finished.

How do I complete Aadhaar eKYC if my mobile is not linked?

Visit a Common Service Centre for biometric eKYC. Carry your Aadhaar and bank passbook. Ask the operator to seed your bank account with Aadhaar and enable NPCI mapping. Keep the receipt and check status later on the portal. You can link your mobile at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra for future OTP eKYC.

How can I do a beneficiary status check for the 22nd installment?

Use the PM-KISAN portal and search with your registration or mobile number. Confirm eKYC verified, land records validated, bank account seeded and NPCI mapped, and installment approval generated. If any item is pending or failed, fix it at your bank, CSC, or local agriculture office and recheck after updates.

Why might my Rs 2,000 credit fail even after eKYC?

Credits can fail if the bank account is inactive, name format differs from Aadhaar, IFSC changed after a branch merger, or NPCI mapping is missing. Ask your bank to update KYC, seed Aadhaar, and enable DBT. Then recheck portal and PFMS status for the next payment attempt.
