Rs.2,000 | April-July |
Rs.2,000 | August-November |

The farmers need to have an Aadhaar card to avail the benefits of the PM-Kisan scheme. The farmers cannot enrol or register themselves as beneficiaries under the PM-Kisan scheme if they do have an Aadhaar card. The instalment is released only on the basis of the Aadhaar seeded database.
The beneficiaries can link their Aadhar with the bank account of the PM-Kisan portal by following the below process:
The government has made e-KYC mandatory for the farmers registered under the PM-Kisan to obtain their instalments under the scheme. Hence, farmers registered under the PM-Kisan scheme must get their e-KYC done before 31st May 2022. If the e-KYC has not been done by a farmer, he/she will not get the instalment under the scheme.
Earlier, the government had allowed farmers to do Aadhar based eKYC through OTP authentication on the PM-Kisan portal by 31st March 2022. However, the government has now suspended this option temporarily on the PM-Kisan portal.
