How to Complete e-KYC?
As the instalment is expected to come soon, eligible farmers are required to complete it before that to avoid payment failure. E-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. Without it, your name may be dropped from the beneficiary list.
As per the scheme’s official website, “eKYC is MANDATORY for PMKISAN Registered Farmers."
You can complete e-KYC in three simple ways:
OTP-Based e-KYC: If your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile number, visit PM Kisan’s website and verify using the OTP.
Biometric e-KYC: Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) for fingerprint authentication.
Facial Authentication: A special facility for senior citizens and physically challenged farmers is now available at CSCs, allowing e-KYC through facial recognition.
