Essential Requirements for Farmers
To ensure uninterrupted benefits under the scheme, farmers must have their Aadhaar linked to their bank accounts and confirm that Aadhaar seeding has been completed. It is also essential to activate the DBT option in the Aadhaar-linked account and complete the e-KYC process. Furthermore, farmers are advised to regularly verify their Aadhaar seeding status through the 'Know Your Status' section on the portal to avoid delays in receiving payments.
