The central government runs several schemes for the country's farmers. One of these schemes is the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers receive a yearly government assistance of 6,000 rupees. This amount is received in three installments of 2,000 rupees each. After joining this scheme, farmers are also required to complete e-KYC. But imagine what would happen if a farmer didn't complete e-KYC? Let's find out.
How can e-KYC be completed?

There are two ways to get e-KYC done.

The first way is online.
You can do e-KYC yourself by visiting the official portal of PM Kisan Yojana.
Here you can get OTP based e-KYC done.

The second way to get e-KYC done is offline.
In this, you have to visit your nearest CSC center
where your biometric based e-KYC is done.

Why is e-KYC necessary?

E-KYC helps prevent fraud and ensures that the correct beneficiary receives the installment benefits.
Those who were enrolled in the scheme but have since passed away are also identified through e-KYC.

What will happen if e-KYC is not done?

Failure to complete e-KYC may prevent you from receiving installment benefits.
