Frequently Asked Questions

PM Kisan 17th installment — when will it come? PM Kisan releases 3 installments per year (April, August, December approximately). The 17th installment timing will be announced on pmkisan.gov.in — check directly.

My Aadhaar and bank account are linked but installment still not received — why? Could be: eKYC not completed (must be done separately), land record verification pending, or state-level verification queue. Call PM Kisan helpline 155261 with your registration number.

I am a farmer but registered under wrong Aadhaar — how to fix? Visit your nearest Agriculture office with correct Aadhaar and land documents. They can update the registration. Cannot be done on the portal alone.

Can I check PM Kisan status without registration number? Yes — use Aadhaar number or registered mobile number on pmkisan.gov.in → Beneficiary Status.

My PM Kisan shows ₹2,000 sent but not in my bank account — why? Transaction may take 2–3 working days after disbursement. If not received in 5 working days after the PM Kisan portal shows "transferred": Call your bank with the PFMS (Public Financial Management System) transaction reference number shown on the portal.
