The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- PM Kisan Samman Nidhi beneficiaries must complete their e-KYC by September 30, 2023.
- Beneficiaries who miss the deadline will not receive the next instalment of Rs 2,000.
- More than 47 lakh farmers in Karnataka are estimated to have not yet completed the e-KYC process.
- The e-KYC can now be completed only through face authentication on the PM Kisan application or biometric verification at Gram One or CE centres.
- The stricter verification follows earlier fraud cases where OTP-based KYC led to payments going to accounts of deceased farmers or those who had sold their land.
What to watch next
- Whether the roughly 47 lakh pending farmers in the state complete e-KYC before September 30
- Any extension of the deadline by the Centre or state agriculture department
- Disbursement status of the next Rs 2,000 instalment after the deadline
