The Government of India supports small and marginal farmers under the PM-KISAN scheme by providing ₹6,000 per year, disbursed in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each.
📅 Next Installment Date
-
The next (21st) instalment of PM-KISAN is scheduled for 19 November 2025.
-
Important: Only farmers who meet all the eligibility conditions and have completed the necessary verifications including e-KYC will receive it on time.
-
If your name isn’t in the beneficiary list, or e-KYC is pending, payment may be delayed.
✅ Key Eligibility & Verification Requirements
Before you receive the instalment, check that the following are in order:
-
Your land-holding details are registered in the PM-KISAN portal. (Press Information Bureau)
-
Your bank account is seeded with your Aadhaar number, and the account details are correct. (Press Information Bureau)

e-KYC is completed (via Aadhaar authentication) — if this is pending, you may miss the instalment.

e-KYC for PM-KISAN: Step-by-Step
Completing e-KYC for PM-KISAN is very important — without it, your instalment might not be credited. The process has been simplified by the government to cover different methods. (Press Information Bureau)
Methods Available
According to official sources, e-KYC can be done via:
-
OTP-based e-KYC (uses Aadhaar number + registered mobile number)
Biometric e-KYC (via fingerprint / iris at a Common Service Centre) (www.bajajfinserv.in)
-
Face-authentication (via Aadhaar Face RD) for those who have smartphone and camera access.
Step-by-Step (Online via OTP)
-
Visit the PM-KISAN portal → Farmers Corner → e-KYC. (PM Kisan)
-
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and click “Search”.
-
Enter your mobile number (must be the one linked to Aadhaar).
-
You receive an OTP on your mobile. Enter it and submit.
-
On successful verification, your e-KYC status will be updated (usually within 24 hours) and you will be eligible for the instalment.
If Online Doesn’t Work
-
Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) to complete biometric or face-authentication.
-
Ensure your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar. If not, update Aadhaar mobile number at an Aadhaar centre.
-
Check that your bank account details, land records etc are updated correctly.
Why e-KYC Matters
-
It ensures that the scheme reaches real eligible farmers and prevents fraud.
-
Without e-KYC, the instalment may be on hold or rejected.
-
Helps in seamless direct benefit transfer (DBT) to the farmer’s bank account. (Press Information Bureau)
