The Central Government has recently cracked down on those families where husband and wife both were receiving money under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.’ At least 31 lakh husband-wife dual beneficiaries have been identified to have benefited from the income support scheme. They may no longer be eligible, as the payment rule extends to only one member of the landlord family.

Are you On The ‘PM Kisan’ Hit List?

The Department has already verified 19 lakh suspected cases that fall under the exclusion criteria under the PM-KISAN scheme guidelines. Such beneficiaries will be weeded out from the payment list by tomorrow, October 15, 2025, ahead of the complete disbursement of the 21st installment. The process of distributing the Rs 2000 financial aid has begun. Several states, including Jammu-Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab, have already received the amount.

Rs 6,000 Annual Support In 3 Installments

The scheme guarantees farmers a minimum annual income of approximately Rs 6,000. This income is disbursed to farmers in three equal installments. E-KYC is MANDATORY for all registered Farmers. For OTP based eKYC, farmers can visit the official PM Kisan portal, while for biometric-based eKYC, they must visit the nearest CSC centers. Farmers can check their eligibility status on the Know Your Status (KYS) of PM KISAN website/ mobile app or Kisan eMitra chatbot for further details.

Those farmers who haven’t completed the e-KYC process or linked their Aadhaar with a bank account, and have not completed land verification, will not receive the PM KISAN 21st installment. Those with incorrect banking details may also miss out or face delays in payment. In such a situation, make sure that steps are completed on time.
