Steps to Link Aadhaar to PM Kisan Nidhi & Check Status

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one such add-on that requires Aadhaar to be linked to. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the PM Kisan Nidhi on December 1, 2018. The central government launched this to assist farmers in receiving various advantages for their land.

According to the scheme, only farmers with 2 hectares of land were entitled to receive payments in equal instalments under this system. However, the scheme has now been revised to accommodate all farmers, regardless of the area of land they own. The money will be directly deposited into their PM Kisan Aadhaar-linked Bank account.

The government has mandated the e-KYC process to ensure that the instalments from the PM-Kisan scheme are directly transferred to your Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. This step eliminates the need for any intermediaries or middlemen. To be eligible for the annual income support provided under this scheme, you must get your e-KYC done. Thus, it is essential for farmers to follow this step to enjoy the scheme’s benefits.

You can link your Aadhaar number with the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme by following the steps mentioned below:

• Visit the bank branch where you have your PM Kisan Samman Nidhi account

• Submit the photocopy of your Aadhaar card along with other documents to the bank official

• The official will process PM Kisan Aadhaar bank account linking

• Your details will now be verified. You will receive a message on your mobile phone once the verification is successfully completed.

It is mandatory to link your Aadhaar number with your PM Kisan Samman Nidhi bank account in order to receive the payment. You can easily check PM Kisan’s Aadhaar link status online on the official website of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. All you must do is follow the below-mentioned steps:

• Visit the official website of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and navigate to the “Farmer’s Market” section

• Select the option to edit the Aadhaar failed records

• Use your Aadhaar number, to check your PM Kisan Samman Nidhi status by Aadhaar number

• To begin, sign in to the mobile netbanking app for the bank account to which you want to attach your Aadhaar card.

• Then seek for 'Aadhaar card seeding' or 'Add Aadhaar card' options.

• Continue by carefully entering your Aadhaar data and double-checking them before hitting the submit button.

• The connecting of a bank account to an Aadhaar number will be done once the information supplied has been verified.

If the beneficiary of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi has not yet received the credited amount to their bank account, but the account shows FTO (Fund Transfer Order), there is no need to be concerned. FTO denotes that the government has validated the information submitted by the recipient and that the funds will be credited to the account as soon as possible.

If the applicant's bank account is not connected to an Aadhaar card, he or she will not be able to receive the advantages of the scheme. Farmers can update or amend their Aadhaar card number by following these steps.
