However, it needs to be noted that the farmers just recently received the 23rd installment in the month of June. And the next benefit will likely follow through at an interval of four months. When the time arrives, farmers should ensure that they are eligible. To do so, one must avoid these common mistakes.

Under PM Kisan yojana, eligible farmers get Rs 2,000 each after a four-monthly gap and in total the benefit comes to around Rs 6,000 per year. The installment cycle is between April to July, August to November, and December to March.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Mistakes To Avoid:

1. eKYC is mandatory!

As per the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare guidelines, eKYC is mandatory to ensure the benefit of the PM KISAN scheme reaches the intended beneficiaries in their AAadhaar-seededbank accounts without involvement of any middlemen.

2. Farmer ID Compulsory In Some States

Some states, like Uttar Pradesh, have made it mandatory that farmers who have registered through 'Kisan Registry' portal need to get a 12-digit Farmer ID. If this is not available, then the benefit could be withheld.

3. Aadhaar-Bank Account Linking Mandatory

The government transfers each installment under PM Kisan through direct bank transfer (DBT), which can be done only if your bank account is linked with Aadhaar. In simple words, linking Aadhaar with Bank account is mandatory.

How To Link Aadhaar Card With Bank For PM Kisan Benefits?

Step 1: Visit the main website pmkisan.gov.in and click on the "New Farmer Registration" option.

Step 2: A form will appear! You will have to fill all the necessary details in the form. Among the information also includes seeding an Aadhaar card and bank account details. Ensure you have mentioned both Aadhaar card number and bank account number accurately.

Step 3: These details will be verified via Aadhaar-based eKYC (OTP/biometric). Once the process is completed you will receive a confirmation on your registered mobile number.

4. Farm Land Must Be Verified

Your farm land should be verified and for that you have to ensure your Khasra-Khatauni records are maintained with revenue department of India. Khasra-Khatauni is a document that records details of specific plot or land which includes Khasra number, area of the land, type of the land, name of the cultivator or the owner, and crop details. While Khatauni records details of landholder such as Khata (account) number, name of the owner or co-owners, list of all Khasra numbers owned by one person and total land details.

For seamless release of the installment, ensure that your Khasra-Khatauni (land records) are linked with your Kisan Digital profile. If your land verification status indicates "NO" on the Lekhpal or the government portal, then your 24th installment could be withheld.
