The government is implementing several beneficial and welfare schemes for every segment of society. These schemes encompass ration cards, pensions, employment, education, insurance, and more, providing direct financial benefits to the people.
Overview of PM Kisan Yojana
The PM Kisan Yojana is one such scheme under which eligible farmers receive an installment of Rs. 2,000 thrice a year, totaling Rs. 6,000 annually. So far, farmers have availed the benefit of the 16th installment.
Awaiting the 17th Installment
Now, all farmers are eagerly awaiting the 17th installment. However, there are many farmers whose installment may get delayed. In such a scenario, the question arises: what should farmers do to ensure they receive the 17th installment?
Tasks to Complete
It is important to note that farmers who do not complete certain tasks may face delays in receiving the installment. Under the scheme’s guidelines, it is mandatory for farmers to fulfill these tasks. Therefore, if you haven’t already, it’s crucial to:
1. Complete E-KYC (Know Your Customer)
Farmers must ensure that their E-KYC is completed. Failure to do so may result in the installment being withheld. To complete E-KYC, farmers can visit their nearest Common Service Center (CSC) or utilize the official portal of the scheme. Additionally, they can also complete E-KYC through their bank.
2. Link Aadhaar with Bank Account
Farmers whose Aadhaar cards are not linked with their bank accounts may also face delays in receiving the installment. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that your Aadhaar card is linked with your bank account. This can be done by contacting your bank.
3. Verify Land Ownership
Farmers who do not verify the ownership of their land may also face delays. It is crucial to authenticate land ownership to avoid any disruptions in receiving the installment. Those who complete this task on time will receive the benefit of the scheme.
Under the PM Kisan Yojana, farmers who complete the necessary tasks on time will receive the 17th installment without any hassle. However, those who fail to fulfill these requirements may face delays in receiving the installment. Therefore, it is imperative for farmers to ensure timely completion of these essential tasks to avail the benefits of the scheme.
