More than half of the country’s population is dependent on agriculture. In such a situation, the government is running many schemes to make these farmers financially capable. One of these is ‘PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana’. Through this, an amount of 6 thousand rupees is sent directly to the account of farmers annually.
Every year three installments of Rs 2,000 are sent to the farmers’ accounts at an interval of every four months. According to the data, about 10 crore farmer families in the country are taking advantage of this scheme. However, now the government has made it mandatory to do e-KYC to take advantage of the scheme.
But even after giving the deadline, many farmers have not been able to get e-KYC done. In such a situation, giving relief, the government has extended its last date from 31 May to 31 July. However, if the e-KYC is not done before the deadline, the farmer brothers may be deprived of the next installment.
E-KYC process
For e-KYC visit the website of PM Kisan Yojana at pmkisan.gov.in. Here on the right side click on the e-KYC tab under the farmer’s corner. After this, a new page will open, enter your Aadhaar number here and click on the Search tab. Now OTP will come on the mobile number registered in your Aadhaar, which you have to submit. In this way, the process of e-KYC will be completed.
