PM Kisan eKYC: 23rd Installment Frozen? Know More About Quick Online OTP Or Offline Thumb Scan, Which Is Faster And Better?

PM Kisan eKYC: Millions of farmers in the country receive financial assistance of Rs. 6000 every year under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. This year, the 22nd installment of the scheme was paid and farmers are now waiting for the 23rd installment.

PM Kisan eKYC Update

According to the Union Government, only farmers who have successfully completed their eKYC are eligible to receive the 23rd installment and future payments. Thankfully, the entire procedure to complete the eKYC is simple.

Easy Way To Do Online e-KYC

If your Aadhaar has an associated mobile number, you can perform the eKYC on your own. To get started, you will have to visit the PM Kisan website (pmkisan.gov.in) and click on the ‘e-KYC’ option.

Thereafter, you would need to enter your Aadhaar number and hit the search button. A one-time password (OTP) would be sent to your registered mobile number for verification purposes. You need to enter the OTP and hit submit to complete the eKYC instantly.

The online way of eKYC is a faster and better option considering that the eKYC gets successfully completed within a few minutes.

Where To Visit For Offline KYC?

If you’re unable to perform the online eKYC for any reason whatsoever, you can visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) and get it done via biometrics (thumb impression). You will need to carry photocopies of your bank passbook and Aadhaar card. You may use the ‘PM Kisan Mobile App’ for KYC through facial recognition.

Main Reasons Why Installments Get Stuck

Payments could get held up because of many reasons apart from eKYC. They include:

• If physical verification of your land documents is yet to be completed.
• If your bank account is not linked to Aadhaar and DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) facility.
• If there is a spelling mismatch in the name between Aadhaar and bank account.

If you are facing any difficulties, you could call the PM-Kisan helpline at 155261 for help. If you have not completed your online or offline eKYC or facing any issues regarding the KYC, you need to act at the earliest.
