PM Kisan Yojana: How to Complete e-KYC to Receive the 22nd Installment on Time

For millions of farmers across India, the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has been a lifeline. Farmers who have already received 21 installments are now eagerly awaiting the 22nd installment, expected in February 2026. But there’s a crucial step that cannot be ignored, completing e-KYC or the payment may be withheld.

Why e-KYC is Mandatory

The government has made e-KYC compulsory to ensure transparency and prevent fraud. If your Aadhaar number doesn’t match your registered mobile number, the Rs. 2,000 installment may not reach your account. Many farmers missed the previous payment due to this mismatch.

How to Complete e-KYC from Home

You can complete the e-KYC easily on your mobile without visiting any office:

• Visit pmkisan.gov.in.
• Go to Farmers’ Corner on the homepage.
• Click e-KYC.
• Enter your Aadhaar number.
• Enter the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
• Submit, and you’ll see a “Successfully Submitted” message. That’s it, your e-KYC is done!

When Will the 22nd Installment Arrive?

PM Kisan installments are released every four months. The 21st installment was credited to around 9 crore farmers on November 19, 2025. With four months completed in February, the next Rs. 2,000 installment is expected then, though the government hasn’t officially announced the exact date yet.

Why Farmers Receive Rs. 6,000 Annually

The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana aims to support small and marginal farmers with essential farming expenses like seeds and fertilizers. Farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, split into three installments of ₹2,000 each, directly transferred to their bank accounts via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).

Farmers must complete e-KYC on time to ensure the 22nd PM Kisan installment hits their bank accounts without delay. Don’t wait, check your Aadhaar details and complete the process today!
