1. What is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is a Central Government scheme launched on 24 February 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The scheme was announced in the Union Budget 2019 with the primary objective of providing financial support to small and marginal farmers across India to meet their agricultural expenses, purchase seeds, fertilizers, and support their household needs.
Under PM-KISAN, every eligible farmer family receives ₹6,000 per year. This amount is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, transferred directly into the farmer’s Aadhaar-linked bank account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). The scheme is fully funded by the Central Government of India.
As of 2026, more than 9 crore farmer families across India have benefited from this scheme, and more than ₹3 lakh 70 thousand crore has been transferred through DBT. PM-KISAN is one of the largest Direct Benefit Transfer programs in the world. Millions of farmers in Assam have also benefited from this scheme.

6. Mandatory Requirements – e-KYC and Farmer ID
Since 2024, the Government of India has made two requirements mandatory for receiving PM Kisan installments — e-KYC and Farmer ID. Without completing both, the ₹2,000 installment will NOT be credited to your bank account, even if you are a registered and eligible beneficiary.
🚨 Warning: If you have not yet completed e-KYC or obtained your Farmer ID, your 22nd installment payment will be blocked. Complete both immediately before 13 March 2026 to avoid missing your payment.
Here is what each requirement means:
- >e-KYC: Electronic Know Your Customer — verifies your identity using Aadhaar OTP or Biometric authentication at a CSC centre. >Farmer ID: A unique identity number issued under the Government’s new Farmer Registry System to identify every registered farmer in India.
7. How to Check PM Kisan Beneficiary Status Online

9. What is Farmer ID and How to Get It?
The Farmer ID is a unique identification number issued under the Government of India’s new Farmer Registry System launched by the Ministry of Agriculture. From 2024-25, this ID has been made mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. In the future, all agricultural schemes and benefits will be linked to this single Farmer ID, eliminating the need for repeated paperwork.
