PM Kisan Yojana: 20th Installment Money Not Received? Do These Important Steps The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana is one of the most popular government schemes for farmers in India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers get ₹6,000 every year. This money is sent in three equal installments of ₹2,000 directly into the farmer’s bank account.
Recently, the government started releasing the 20th installment of PM Kisan Yojana. Millions of farmers have already received the amount in their accounts. But some farmers are facing problems – the money has not come into their bank account yet.
If you are also one of those farmers, don’t worry. There are some simple steps you can take to solve the issue and get your installment.
Why Money Might Not Come into Your Account
PM Kisan Yojana Before checking what to do, let’s understand why the installment may be delayed or not credited:
- Bank account issues – Wrong account number, inactive account, or mismatch in details can stop the payment.
- Aadhaar not linked – If your Aadhaar is not linked with your bank account or PM Kisan account, the installment will not be processed.
- KYC not completed – The government has made e-KYC (electronic verification) mandatory. Without this, money will not be credited.
- Land record mismatch – If your land details are not updated correctly in the records, your name may be rejected.
- Name mismatch – If your name in Aadhaar, bank account, and PM Kisan portal is not the same, payment can fail.
Steps to Take If 20th Installment Has Not Come
If you haven’t received the PM Kisan 20th installment, follow these important steps:
1. Check PM Kisan Beneficiary Status
- Visit the official website: pmkisan.gov.in.
- On the homepage, click “Know Your Status.”
- Enter your Aadhaar number, registered mobile number, or bank account number.
- You will see if your installment is approved, pending, or failed.
This step helps you understand whether your installment has been sent or stopped due to some issue.
2. Complete Your e-KYC
- Go to the PM Kisan website.
- Click on “e-KYC” option.
- Enter your Aadhaar number and verify using OTP received on your mobile.
- If OTP does not work, you can visit your nearest CSC (Common Service Center) to complete biometric KYC.
Without e-KYC, you will not get money in future installments also.
3. Check Aadhaar and Bank Linking
- Make sure your Aadhaar card is linked to your bank account.
- Visit your bank branch and ask them to check the status.
- If Aadhaar is not linked, submit a request to link it immediately.
This linking is very important because PM Kisan money is transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
4. Correct Your Details on PM Kisan Portal
Sometimes spelling mistakes in your name, wrong IFSC code, or incorrect bank account number can stop the payment. To correct this:
- Login to PM Kisan portal.
- Click on “Edit Aadhaar Failure Records.”
- Update the details as per your Aadhaar and bank records.
Make sure your details are the same in Aadhaar, bank account, and PM Kisan portal.
5. Contact Helpline Numbers
If the above steps do not solve the problem, you can contact PM Kisan support:
- Helpline number: 155261 or 1800-115-552 (toll-free)
- Email ID: pmkisan-ict@gov.in
You can also visit your local agriculture office for help.
Important Tips for Farmers
- Always keep your mobile number updated in Aadhaar and bank account.
- Regularly check the PM Kisan website for updates.
- Complete your e-KYC before the government announces the installment release.
- If you change your bank account, update it on the PM Kisan portal.
- Keep a copy of your land records ready, as they are checked for eligibility.
Conclusion
The PM Kisan Yojana has provided big support to farmers across the country by giving them direct financial help. The 20th installment is being credited to millions of farmers, but some may not get it due to technical errors or incomplete verification.
If you haven’t received your money, don’t panic. First, check your beneficiary status, complete e-KYC, link Aadhaar with your bank, and correct any errors in your details. If the problem still continues, use the helpline numbers or visit your nearest agriculture office.
