PM Kisan Scheme Update: e-KYC Mandatory by June 30, Check How to Complete

The government continues to support farmers through several welfare schemes such as PM Fasal Bima Yojana, Kisan Credit Card, PM Mandhan Yojana, PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana, and PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Among these, PM Kisan remains one of the most widely used direct income support schemes for farmers across the country.

Now, a key update has been introduced that directly impacts beneficiaries.

Annual e-KYC Made Compulsory for PM Kisan Beneficiaries

The Centre has made annual e-KYC verification mandatory for all farmers registered under the PM Kisan scheme . Beneficiaries must complete the process before June 30 to continue receiving payments without interruption.

If the e-KYC is not completed within the deadline, the upcoming installment will not be credited to the farmer’s account. Officials say this step is aimed at ensuring that only eligible farmers receive financial assistance.

Why This Step Has Been Introduced

According to government officials, there have been cases where ineligible names were mistakenly included in the beneficiary list. To improve transparency and accuracy, the system now requires yearly verification through e-KYC.
