PM Kisan eKYC: Under the 'Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi' (PM-KISAN)—one of the Government of India's largest farmer welfare schemes—millions of farmers across the country receive financial assistance of ₹6,000 annually. This amount is transferred directly into the farmers' bank accounts (via DBT) in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. To maintain transparency within the scheme and prevent fraud, the government has made it mandatory for all beneficiaries to complete their eKYC. If you fail to do so, your next installment may be withheld.
