PM Kisan 21st Installment: The Union government has released the 21st instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme in advance for some of the states affected by flood and landslides. These include Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. The government has so far transferred Rs 170 crore to over 8.5 lakh farmers affected by natural calamities. Meanwhile, farmers in the other states await their share.

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a Central government scheme for farmers, was officially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 24, 2019, and was applicable from December 1, 2018. The scheme provides an annual sum of Rs 6,000 to eligible landholding farmers across the country. This financial aid is transferred to beneficiaries' accounts in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each, disbursed every four months.

PM Kisan Yojana: Farmers Must Complete eKYC

Payments will be delayed for farmers who have not yet completed their eKYC process. To complete your eKYC you can visit:

- Your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC)
- State Seva Kendra
- PM-Kisan website (pmkisan.gov.in)
- PM-KISAN mobile app, hosted at NIC’s e-Gov Mobile App account in Google Play Store

One must link their bank account to their Aadhaar card, as payments could be withheld without it. To link your Aadhaar card to your bank account, you can visit your nearest bank branch with a photocopy of your Aadhaar card, a proof of address (such as an electricity bill or water bill), and a photocopy of your bank passbook.

It is also important to note that if you submit incorrect details while applying for the scheme or during the eKYC process, your installments could be withheld.
