The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana has been a lifeline for crores of farmers, providing ₹6,000 annually in three installments of ₹2,000 each. With the 21st installment scheduled soon, lakhs of farmers are eagerly waiting for the money to be credited.

However, not everyone may receive this benefit. Due to certain eligibility rules, pending verifications, and errors in documents, some farmers may miss out on the 21st installment.

Here’s everything you need to know to ensure you don’t lose your entitlement.

📌 Why Some Farmers May Miss Out on the 21st Installment

1. Aadhaar Not Linked

   • If your Aadhaar card is not linked to your PM-Kisan profile, the installment may be withheld.

2. Bank Account Not Linked with Aadhaar

   • Aadhaar-based payment verification is mandatory. Accounts not linked may face rejection.

3. Wrong Bank Account Details

   • Incorrect IFSC code, account number, or inactive accounts may block payments.

4. Pending e-KYC

   • Farmers who have not completed e-KYC verification may not receive the ₹2,000 installment.

5. Ineligible Beneficiaries

   • Government employees, pensioners, taxpayers, and professionals like doctors, engineers, and lawyers are not eligible under PM-Kisan.

6. Land Ownership Issues

   • Only farmers with valid land ownership records are eligible. Tenants, sharecroppers, or disputed ownership cases may be excluded.
