PM-Kisan 22nd Installment: Farmer ID Now Mandatory, e-KYC Still Crucial
- •Farmers are eagerly awaiting the 22nd installment of the PM-Kisan scheme, which provides Rs 2,000 every four months.
- •The 22nd installment is expected around February 2026, based on past disbursement patterns.
- •A new mandatory requirement, Farmer ID, has been introduced to ensure benefits reach only genuine and eligible farmers.
- •Beneficiaries without a Farmer ID or incomplete e-KYC may have their next installment withheld.
- •Technical issues like Aadhaar-bank discrepancies, closed accounts, or land record errors can also stop payments.
Why It Matters: The 22nd PM-Kisan installment is due soon, but Farmer ID and e-KYC are now mandatory for beneficiaries.
