PM Kisan Yojana 23rd Installment on June 20: Why INR 2,000 May Not Reach Some Farmers and How To Complete E-KYC

The Central Government will release the 23rd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on June 20, transferring INR 2,000 directly into the bank accounts of eligible farmers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

However, not all beneficiaries may receive the installment. The Ministry of Agriculture has clarified that farmers who have not completed their mandatory e-KYC process could face delays in receiving the payment. Additionally, beneficiaries whose Aadhaar cards are not linked to their bank accounts may also see their installment withheld. PM Kisan 23rd Installment: Who Will Receive INR 2,000 Benefit and Who May Miss Out.
