Methods for Completing PM Kisan KYC Verification
The Central Government provides multiple secure authentication channels to ensure every farmer can complete KYC regardless of technological access.
- Online OTP Verification: Available on pmkisan.gov.in under the 'eKYC' tab for farmers whose mobile phone is registered with their Aadhaar.
- Face Authentication Mobile App: The official PM-KISAN app utilizes Aadhaar FaceRD technology, allowing farmers to authenticate by taking a facial scan using their smartphone camera.
- Biometric Authentication at CSC: Farmers without Aadhaar-linked phone numbers can visit any Common Service Center (CSC) to authenticate via fingerprint or iris scan.
- Postman Assisted KYC: India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) postmen facilitate doorstep biometric KYC services in rural gram panchayats.
Checking KYC Status and Correcting Land Seeding
Beneficiaries must verify that all three core PM-Kisan operational parameters are approved to avoid payment rejections.
- e-KYC Status: Must display 'YES' on the portal dashboard under 'Know Your Status'.
- Aadhaar Bank Account Seeding: The bank account must be actively linked to the Aadhaar payment bridge (DBT/NPCI enabled); if inactive, contact your bank branch or open an IPPB account.
- Land Seeding Verification: The state revenue department must have verified the farmer's land title (Khatauni/Khasra); if reflecting as 'NO', submit land records to the local Patwari or district agriculture officer.
- Name Correction: Discrepancies between the portal registration name and the Aadhaar card name can be corrected via the 'Name Correction as per Aadhaar' portal link.
