PM Kisan update: If you are a beneficiary of PM Kisan Scheme and want your next installment of Rs. 2000 without any delay then complete ‘eKYC’ as early as possible. According to media reports, all the beneficiaries of PM Kisan have been asked to complete the eKYC details before the end of this month so that money can be transferred to their bank accounts.
Why is eKYC mandatory for farmers?
If the eKYC is not completed then the government may not send Rs. 2000 in your bank account. It must be noted that a few months back the Central Government had made eKYC compulsory for all the beneficiaries but due to some issues, things were put on hold. But last month the eKYC link has been activated on the official website so that farmers can complete their details.
eKYC has been made compulsory for all the farmers registered under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana with a motive to prevent frauds and scams. Also, this will stop ineligible people from taking the benefit of this scheme. The old as well as new farmers have to fill in the eKYC without any delay.
How to complete eKYC on website/mobile phone
You can complete this work online with the help of PM Kisan mobile app or laptop or computer while sitting at home. Follow the steps given below to complete your eKYC online;
