What Is PM-Kisan & Why It Matters
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a flagship government scheme launched in February 2019. Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts.
Why Your Name Might Be Missing from the 20th Installment List
Even if you were previously eligible, here are some top reasons your name may not show up this time:
1. Incomplete e-KYC
In 2022, the government made e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) mandatory for all PM-Kisan beneficiaries.
- If you haven’t completed it through OTP, biometric, or facial authentication, your payment could be blocked.
2. Bank Account or Aadhaar Mismatch
A minor typo in your Aadhaar, IFSC, or bank account number can disconnect your payment, even if everything else is right.
3. Not Registered or Document Errors
Maybe you switched land, missed uploading land ownership documents, or your name doesn’t match the land records anymore. This makes your status “ineligible.”
4. Account Frozen or Dormant
A frozen bank account, a zero-balance account, or an inactive account could reject direct benefit transfers.
