PM Kisan Yojana 21st Instalment: Is Farmer e-KYC Mandatory? How to Fix Pending Status
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues to support Indian farmers with financial aid, and the 21st instalment (₹2,000) is expected soon. This time, the government has made e-KYC compulsory for all beneficiaries. If your payment shows a “pending” status, here’s what you need to know.
Why Is e-KYC Required for PM Kisan Yojana?
The Ministry of Agriculture mandates e-KYC to:
✔ Remove fake beneficiaries – Ensures only eligible farmers receive funds.
✔ Enable seamless DBT – Links Aadhaar to bank accounts for direct transfers.
✔ Prevent delays – Verified accounts speed up approval.
