PM Kisan Samman Nidhi 2026
Complete Guide: e-KYC Process, Installment Status & Registration
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a flagship central sector scheme introduced by the Government of India to provide income support to all landholding farmers' families. Under this scheme, an amount of ₹6,000 per year is transferred directly into the bank accounts of farmers in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. However, the government has now made e-KYC and Aadhaar seeding strictly mandatory to receive the next installments. Read the official guidelines below.
To stop fraudulent transactions, completing e-KYC is mandatory. The government offers three distinct methods to complete this process:
If your Aadhaar is linked to your active mobile number, you can do it yourself from the PM-KISAN portal via OTP authentication.
If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, you must visit an authorized CSC center to complete e-KYC using your fingerprint.
Using the official PM-KISAN mobile app, farmers can also authenticate their KYC by scanning their face via the Aadhaar FaceRD feature.
Who is INELIGIBLE for PM-KISAN?
All landholding farmer families are eligible, EXCEPT those falling under the following exclusion categories:
- All institutional landholders.
- Present or former constitutional post holders, Ministers, MPs, MLAs, Mayors, or Panchayat Chairpersons.
- All superannuated/retired pensioners whose monthly pension is ₹10,000 or more.
- Anyone who paid Income Tax in the last assessment year.
- Professionals like Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, and Chartered Accountants.
Step-by-Step Guide for Farmers
Check Beneficiary Status
Visit the official portal and click 'Know Your Status'. Enter your Registration Number or Mobile Number to check if your latest installment has been credited.
Complete e-KYC (OTP)
Click on the 'e-KYC' option on the homepage. Enter your Aadhaar number. Provide the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and click submit.
Link Bank with Aadhaar (DBT)
The ₹2000 installment is strictly processed via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Ensure your bank account is Aadhaar seeded. Without this, funds will fail.
New Farmer Registration
If you are not enrolled, click on 'New Farmer Registration'. Select Rural or Urban. Enter Aadhaar details and upload your Land Ownership Proof (Khatauni).
Facing e-KYC or Aadhaar DBT Issues?
A vast majority of farmers in rural areas face two major problems: 1) Their mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, making OTP-based e-KYC impossible. 2) Their bank account is not mapped for Aadhaar DBT, causing installments to get stuck.
If you belong to Mainpuri or surrounding villages, you don't need to struggle online. Simply visit our certified Avi Jan Seva Kendra (Avi CSC Point). Our certified operators will complete your e-KYC instantly using a Biometric Fingerprint Scanner. We also check your exact DBT mapping status and help rectify errors so your pending installments are released safely.

ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY: The PM-KISAN portal does NOT ask for any hidden fees, ATM PINs, or Bank Passwords. Beware of fake agents sending SMS/WhatsApp links claiming to "Release Pending PM-Kisan Installment for ₹500". Clicking on unverified links will drain your bank account.
