The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is set to release its 22nd installment, and there are important requirements that farmers should be aware of. While it is confirmed that Farmer ID is not required for farmers who are already registered in the scheme, new farmers registering in fourteen specific states will need to obtain a Farmer ID. This includes states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, and several others where the registration process has recently started. All beneficiaries must ensure their e-KYC is updated to avoid any delays in receiving their funds.

The necessity of the Farmer ID applies particularly to those who are entering the PM Kisan scheme for the first time. In the states identified, farmers are encouraged to complete this process promptly to ensure smooth receipt of the 22nd installment. The requirement of e-KYC, which every beneficiary must complete, is critical as it verifies the identity and continues to ensure that funds are directly and accurately disbursed.

Farmers are prompted with several methods to complete their e-KYC, including a self-service online option and access through Common Service Centres (CSCs), which are available in various districts. This comprehensive approach aims to streamline the process and ensure that all eligible farmers receive their benefits without unnecessary complications or interruptions. Ensuring timely updates and compliance with these directives will be essential for farmers looking to receive government assistance seamlessly.
