Nursery Today Desk

New Delhi: E-KYC is being done for the remaining farmers under the leadership of Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi until September 30. Now, farmers who have not yet completed KYC can do so. The state’s cooperative department occasionally provides information in this regard. The agency has frequently pushed back the deadline for e-KYC in the past as well. It has now been postponed till September 30. The farmers who participate in this program get Kisan Samman Nidhi payments of Rs 2,000 straight into their bank accounts three times a year.

According to Lokesh Gautam, the Churu district’s nodal officer for the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, 74,432 farmer recipients have not been able to obtain e-KYC. They won’t be qualified for the following payment as a result. Farmers should complete Aadhaar-based e-KYC as soon as possible for this reason.

How to get your KYC done?

The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana’s e-KYC procedure is relatively simple. Farmers can complete their KYC by going to CSC, E-Mitra, or PM Kisan Portal. Additionally, farmers can complete their e-KYC via the PM Kisan GOI smartphone app. The e-KYC project must be finished by September 30, 2023. Farmers can seek assistance for this task from a number of village-level organizations, including the Farmers Purchase and Sale Committee, Anganwadi, and the Village Cooperative Society.

Who is eligible to get benefits of PM Kisan Samman Yojana?

Farmer must have cultivable land in order to benefit from the PM Kisan Yojana. The applicant must be the legal owner of his property. Because of this, sharecroppers and farmers without access to land are unable to benefit from this program.

Additionally, you will only benefit from this program if you do not pay income taxes and also you shouldn’t receive a pension that is worth more than Rs 10,000 each month.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture’s regulations, an applicant is only eligible for this program’s benefits after being thoroughly analyzed. There are numerous levels in this checking procedure.

In doing so, the state government validates the applicant’s records and posts their information on the PM-Kisan website. Because of this, farmers risk losing out on Kisan Samman Nidhi if they do not complete their e-KYC in a timely manner.
