Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 23rd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on June 20.
While millions of farmers received ₹2,000 in their bank accounts, many others were left disappointed as the payment did not reach them.
According to government data, around 12 crore farmers are registered under the PM-KISAN scheme. However, only 9.44 crore farmers received the latest installment.
This means more than 2 crore farmers are still waiting for their payment.
Many farmers are now worried about whether they will receive future installments and what steps they need to take to fix the issue.
Why Did Some Farmers Not Receive the 23rd Installment?
Farmers may have missed the payment due to one or more of the following reasons:
e-KYC not completed
Aadhaar not linked with the bank account
Land records not verified
Eligibility verification still pending
Multiple members of the same family receiving benefits
If any of these issues exist, the installment may be delayed or stopped until the records are corrected.
Check Your PM Kisan Status Online
Farmers can easily check their payment status through the PM-KISAN portal.
Follow these steps:
Visit the PM-KISAN website.
Click on the “Know Your Status” option.
Enter your registration number.
Verify using the OTP sent to your mobile number.
This will show whether the installment has been released, withheld, or is under verification.
What If Your Status Shows “Withheld” or “Under Verification”?
If your previous installments were received but the latest status shows:
Withheld
Under Verification
Eligibility Under Review
then you should complete the required verification process immediately.
Failing to update your details may not only delay the 23rd installment but could also affect future payments under the scheme.
