Through many beneficial and welfare schemes running in the country, benefits are being extended to every needy and poor section. The government also spends a lot of money every year on these schemes. While in many schemes some essential goods are provided, in many schemes financial assistance is provided. For example, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, under which eligible farmers are given Rs 6,000 annually and this money is given in the form of installments of Rs 2,000 each thrice a year. At the same time, to get the benefit of the installment, the farmers associated with the scheme have to do work. In such a situation, the question is whether it is necessary to get e-KYC done to get the benefit of the installment, and will the farmers who do not get it done not be able to get the benefit of the installment? So let's know about this. You can know about it in the next slides...

Is e-KYC necessary?
If we talk about e-KYC, the government has already made it clear that it is mandatory for all the farmers associated with the scheme to get e-KYC done. Whether you have newly joined the scheme or are already taking benefits.

At the same time, those farmers who do not get e-KYC done or do not get it done, it is certain that they will be deprived of the benefit of installments. In such a situation, if you have not got e-KYC done yet, then get it done immediately. Otherwise, you will be deprived of the benefit of the next installment.

This is how you can get e-KYC done
If you have not yet done e-KYC, you can get it done from your nearest CSC center. Here you have to take your Aadhar card, after which your e-KYC is done.

At the same time, you can also do e-KYC by visiting the official PM Kisan portal pmkisan.gov.in.
By going here you have to click on the option of e-KYC and follow the further process.

Apart from this, you can also go to your nearest bank and get the e-KYC done. Here you have to fill out the form and also give biometrics, after which your e-KYC is done.
