The Central Government rolled out the 21st instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, providing ₹2,000 to millions of farmers across India. Although the government transferred more than ₹18,000 crore, many farmers still report that their instalment has not reached their bank accounts. As a result, a large number of beneficiaries are seeking clarity on the delay.
Officials explained several reasons behind the pending payments. Fortunately, most issues are easy to fix, and farmers can complete the required steps online.
Why the PM Kisan 21st Instalment Is Delayed
Government sources say multiple technical and verification problems caused the delay. Here are the main reasons:
1. e-KYC Not Completed
Many farmers did not complete Aadhaar-based e-KYC, and therefore the system did not process their payment.
2. Aadhaar Not Linked With Bank Account
Since the government uses DBT for PM Kisan, farmers must link their bank account with Aadhaar. If the link is missing, the transfer fails.
3. Incorrect Beneficiary Details
Several beneficiaries entered incorrect information such as:
- Aadhaar number
- Bank details
- IFSC code
- Name mismatch
Even a small error prevents the payment from going through.
4. Land Record Verification Pending
Land-seeding is a mandatory step. Many farmers missed this step, and their application remained incomplete.
5. Name Missing in the Beneficiary List
In some districts, beneficiary lists were updated recently. As a result, a few farmers temporarily dropped off the list.
