pm kisan beneficiary status 2026
Quick facts: ₹6,000 per year to every eligible landholding farmer · paid in 3 installments of ₹2,000 · direct bank transfer · e-KYC mandatory · portal pmkisan.gov.in · helpline 155261.
When the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) kicks in every four months, ₹2,000 lands directly in the farmer’s bank account — no middlemen, no paperwork at the bank. But this works only if three things are in order: your name is in the beneficiary list, your e-KYC is complete, and your bank account is linked to Aadhaar. The number-one reason farmers’ installments get held up is one of these three checks failing silently. This guide walks through how to check your status, fix what’s broken, and confirm when your next kist is coming.
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, launched in February 2019, transfers a fixed income support of ₹6,000 per year to every eligible landholding farmer family in India. The money is disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 — roughly in April–July, August–November, and December–March.
As of 2026, more than 11 crore farmer families have received at least one installment under the scheme. The running total disbursed has crossed ₹3 lakh crore.
PM-KISAN has a specific exclusion list — if any of these apply to any member of your family, the family is not eligible:
A single ineligible member in the family makes the whole family ineligible. If your status turns “Suspended” after an installment, this is usually the reason — verify each family member’s profession.
Important: the Aadhaar on your PM-KISAN profile must match the Aadhaar linked to your bank account. A mismatch is the single biggest reason kists fail silently.
Each installment shows one of these states: – FTO (Fund Transfer Order) generated + success — money has reached your bank – FTO generated + rejected by bank — usually means Aadhaar-bank mismatch – Pending for SHA (State Head Authority) approval — wait – Not paid — eligibility issue; check exclusions
e-KYC is mandatory before every installment is released. There are three ways to do it:
If your e-KYC is complete but the status still says “Pending”, clear your browser cache and check again after 24 hours — the backend can lag.
Many farmers assume opening a bank account with Aadhaar automatically “links” it. It does not — NPCI mapping is a separate step.
To link: 1. Visit your bank branch 2. Ask for “Aadhaar-NPCI seeding” — not just “Aadhaar linking” 3. Bank will issue an acknowledgment; NPCI mapping takes 2–4 working days 4. Verify on UIDAI’s bhim.npci.org.in → Aadhaar-Bank status check
Once NPCI-mapped, DBT payments flow automatically.
| Status shown | What it means | Action |
|---|---|---|
| FTO rejected | Aadhaar-bank mismatch or inactive account | Visit bank → re-link Aadhaar via NPCI |
| e-KYC incomplete | OTP/biometric pending | Complete via pmkisan.gov.in or CSC |
| Name not in list | Registration not done, or rejection | Re-register with correct land record |
| Pending for state approval | State revenue dept hasn’t verified land records | Wait; escalate via helpline after 30 days |
| Suspended | Family member falls in exclusion list | Family is permanently ineligible |
For persistent issues, file a grievance via the “Grievance” tab on pmkisan.gov.in or call the national helpline.

Each tranche is released roughly every four months — April to July, August to November, and December to March. Exact dates are announced on pmkisan.gov.in.
e-KYC is a one-time process as long as your Aadhaar data is unchanged. If your Aadhaar details change, re-do e-KYC before the next installment.
Yes. Use the Farmer Corner New Farmer Registration option on pmkisan.gov.in. Self-registration is free if your land records are digitally available in your state.
No. Pensioners drawing ₹10,000 per month or more make the entire family ineligible, except for retired Grade D or Group IV government employees.
Typically 30 to 90 days after your registration is approved by the state revenue department, depending on the next national installment cycle.
