PM Kisan Update: The Noida district administration has decided 25th March 2022 (Friday) as the deadline for completing eKYC on PM Kisan website. Let me tell you that the Central government has made it mandatory for the farmers registered under PM Kisan Yojana to complete their eKYC.
Deadline to complete eKYC
District Officials told beneficiaries that for Aadhaar validation, a new link is available on the official website - pmkisan.gov.in. They said farmers will also receive an OTP or one-time password on their registered mobile numbers for validation. Officials made it very clear that if the validation is not completed by 25 March 2022, then farmers will not get their benefit of the scheme in the month of April.
It must be noted that the Centre has also asked all the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana to complete the eKYC as soon as possible so that they can receive the 11th installment of Rs. 2000 without any delay.

District supply officer, GB Nagar Soni Gupta, said that “Like last year (2021), this year too, the process of purchasing wheat would be completely online and the payment to the cultivators against the purchase of their crop will be made through the public financial management system. In order to ensure hassle-free transfer to the farmers, we have also asked them to mention their individual bank account details in place of joint bank accounts.”
He said for making the payment procedure more transparent, the bank account and Aadhaar details should be mapped on the website of the National Payment Corporation of India.
