What Farmers Must Do NOW to Receive the 23rd Installment
✔ Complete eKYC if pending — OTP method on portal or Face Auth on PMKISAN app. eKYC is mandatory for receiving payments. If it is not completed, installments may be withheld until verification is completed.
✔ Get your Unique Farmer ID — the government is developing a digital farmer database (often referred to as Farmer ID) under the Digital Agriculture Mission. While it may be integrated with schemes like PM-KISAN in the future, it is not currently mandatory nationwide for receiving installments.
✔ Check land seeding status — visit pmkisan.gov.in → Know Your Status to verify land records are verified in the system.
✔ Verify your bank account is active and Aadhaar-seeded. A closed or dormant account will result in payment failure even if everything else is in order.
Every four months, roughly 9.3 crore Indian farming families ask the same question: when is the next PM Kisan installment coming, and has my ₹2,000 arrived?

This guide gives you the verified latest update on the 23rd installment expected date, a step-by-step process to check your installment status right now, the complete installment history from 1st to 22nd, and a clear action plan for farmers whose payments haven't arrived.

Why did the beneficiary count drop from 10.48 crore to 8.12 crore between 11th and 13th installments?
The government made Aadhaar-based eKYC and digital land record verification mandatory from the 12th installment onwards. This led to a significant cleanup of the beneficiary database — removing duplicate entries, ineligible beneficiaries, and fraudulent registrations. The scheme then stabilised and recovered to 9.3–9.7 crore genuine beneficiaries from the 16th installment onwards.

How to Complete eKYC Before the 23rd Installment (Step-by-Step)
eKYC is mandatory. If your eKYC is pending, your 23rd installment will be held regardless of when the government releases it. Complete it now — it takes under 5 minutes.
Online OTP Method (Recommended)
|
1
|
Go to pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner → 'eKYC'
|
|
2
|
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the Captcha code → click 'Search'
|
|
3
|
Enter the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar → click 'Get OTP'
|
|
4
|
Enter the OTP received on your Aadhaar-linked mobile → click 'Submit OTP'
|
|
5
|
Confirmation message appears: 'eKYC completed successfully'. Your next installment will now be processed without hold.
|
Face Authentication Method (No OTP, No Fingerprint — Just Your Phone Camera)
- Download the PMKISAN GoI app from Google Play Store
- Open app → 'Face Authentication eKYC' → enter Aadhaar number
- Allow camera access → follow on-screen face scanning instructions
- Face matched = eKYC complete. Ideal for farmers whose Aadhaar mobile number is inactive
Biometric Method at CSC
Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) if both OTP and face auth fail. The CSC operator will complete eKYC using a biometric fingerprint device. Carry your Aadhaar card.
