Important Points

e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is a mandatory process for beneficiaries to authenticate their identity and eligibility under the scheme.

  • Importance of e-KYC:
    • e-KYC is a critical step to ensure that only eligible farmers receive the financial benefits provided by the PM-KISAN scheme. This process helps prevent misuse of funds by verifying the beneficiary's details, including Aadhaar and land ownership records.
  • Aadhaar-Based Verification:
    • The scheme mandates that beneficiaries must complete Aadhaar-based e-KYC. This is essential for the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
    • Without e-KYC, farmers cannot receive their payments under the PM-KISAN scheme.
  • Exemptions:
    • Some states, like Assam, Meghalaya, and Jammu & Kashmir, have been temporarily exempted from Aadhaar-based e-KYC due to lower Aadhaar coverage in these regions. However, the exemption is only valid until the respective deadline for Aadhaar enrollment.

Consequences of Not Completing eKYC

If you do not complete the eKYC process for the PM Kisan scheme:

  • Suspension of Benefits: Your benefits may be suspended, and you will stop receiving the installment payments.
  • Delay in Payments: Any pending payments may be delayed until you complete the eKYC process.
  • Ineligibility for Future Benefits: You may become ineligible for future benefits under the PM Kisan scheme until the eKYC process is completed.

To ensure uninterrupted benefits, it is important to complete your eKYC as required.
