PM-KISAN 22nd Installment: Farmer ID & e-KYC Now Mandatory for ₹2,000 Aid

• The 22nd installment of PM-KISAN, worth ₹2,000, is expected between February and March 2026.
• A unique Farmer ID is now mandatory; without it, farmers will not receive the installment even with e-KYC.
• Farmer ID is a digital identity linked to Aadhaar and state land records, automatically updating land changes.
• e-KYC remains essential for all beneficiaries and can be completed via the PM-KISAN website, mobile app, or CSC Centers.
• The PM-KISAN scheme provides ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments to eligible landholding farmers.

Why It Matters: Farmer ID and e-KYC are now critical for PM-KISAN beneficiaries to receive the 22nd installment.
