PM Kisan Yojana Update: Wrong Aadhaar Details Can Stop Your 20th Installment – Here’s How to Fix It

Updated: 26-06-2025, 10.20 PM

Lakhs of farmers across India are eagerly waiting for the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan), the government’s flagship direct benefit transfer scheme. Under PM-Kisan, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each.

But here’s the catch—if your Aadhaar details are incorrect or your name does not match across records, your installment might be delayed or blocked.

When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?

Although the government has not announced an official date, multiple media sources suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may release the 20th installment in the first week of July 2025. The last (19th) installment was disbursed in February 2025, so this next payout is right on schedule—provided your documents are accurate and updated.

Why Do Some Farmers Miss Their Installment?

A common issue is a mismatch between the farmer’s name in the PM-Kisan database and their Aadhaar card. Sometimes, names are entered in a local dialect, or middle names or initials are omitted, which causes verification to fail. As a result, the money doesn’t reach the intended beneficiary.

✅ Steps to Correct Your Name or Aadhaar Details

Online Method:

Visit https://pmkisan.gov.in
Under Farmer Corner, click on Updation of Self Registered Farmer
Enter your Aadhaar number and captcha code
Update your name exactly as it appears on your Aadhaar card
Submit the form and note the acknowledgment

Offline Method:

Visit your nearest CSC center or local agriculture department office
Carry these documents:
- Aadhaar card
- Land ownership papers
- Bank passbook
- PM-Kisan registration ID
Officials will assist you in updating any mismatched details

📌 Why Is eKYC Mandatory?

The government has made eKYC compulsory to ensure that only genuine beneficiaries receive the funds. Without eKYC, you will not receive the next installment.

There are two eKYC methods:

OTP-based eKYC (your mobile number must be Aadhaar-linked)
Biometric eKYC at a CSC (Common Service Center)

🔍 How to Check Your Installment Status

Visit https://pmkisan.gov.in
Click on “Know Your Status”
Enter your registration number or Aadhaar number
The screen will show the status of your next installment, along with any errors

Final Word for Farmers

With the 20th installment of ₹2,000 around the corner, now is the right time to double-check your Aadhaar, bank account, and name details in the PM-Kisan database. One small error can block your installment for months. By completing eKYC and correcting any mismatches, you can ensure uninterrupted benefits under this scheme.
