PM Kisan 20th Installment on August 2: Complete These 4 Tasks or Lose ₹2000

PM Kisan Yojana: Complete These Mandatory Tasks Before August 2 to Receive ₹2000 in Your Account

Farmers enrolled under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana have a reason to rejoice. The much-awaited 20th installment of ₹2,000 will be transferred on August 2, as officially announced by the Ministry of Agriculture. However, before this installment reaches your account, there are four crucial tasks that must be completed. Failure to do so could result in disqualification from the payment.

Let’s break down everything farmers need to know—and do—before August 2.

PM Modi to Release 20th Installment on August 2

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Varanasi on August 2 to disburse the 20th installment of the PM Kisan scheme. According to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the amount will be transferred at 11 AM during a public event. This installment, which typically arrives between April and July, is slightly delayed this year, but it marks a significant financial support for millions of farmers across the country.

4 Urgent Tasks Farmers Must Complete Before the Deadline

If you are among the beneficiaries, make sure you finish the following essential steps to avoid losing your entitlement:

1. Complete Your e-KYC Before August 2

The government has repeatedly urged farmers to complete their electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) to curb fraud and ensure genuine beneficiaries receive the funds. Despite several reminders, many farmers have not yet fulfilled this requirement.

You can complete your e-KYC either by:

• Visiting the official PM Kisan portal

• Going directly to your nearest bank with your Aadhaar card and PM Kisan registration number

With just 2 days left, this is the last chance to complete the process.

2. Ensure Your Aadhaar is Linked to Your Bank Account

Even if you’ve registered for the scheme, unlinked Aadhaar and bank accounts can block your installment. Visit your bank and verify that the account provided for PM Kisan is:

• Active

• Linked with Aadhaar

• Correctly updated on the PM Kisan portal

Additionally, make sure your mobile number is correctly updated so you receive all scheme-related alerts.

3. Generate Your Farmer ID

The government has rolled out a Farmer ID system to maintain transparency and accurate records. Unfortunately, many farmers are still unaware or have delayed this step. For example, in Uttar Pradesh, only 49% of eligible farmers have generated their IDs.

Without a valid Farmer ID, you will not receive the ₹2,000 installment. Create it online through your state’s agriculture department portal or visit a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).

4. Submit Land Ownership Records if Pending

Sometimes, incomplete land ownership documentation can stall the payment process. Farmers should check whether their land records have been submitted to the local administration. If there’s any pending paperwork, ensure it’s submitted without delay.

You can also verify the status of your land records through your state’s land revenue website or by visiting the tehsil office.

Why These Steps Matter

The central government has launched a saturation drive to weed out ineligible beneficiaries and ensure funds reach the rightful farmers. The strict enforcement of e-KYC, bank-Aadhaar linking, and documentation is part of this drive.

With just a few days remaining, farmers must act swiftly to avoid missing out on the financial support they deserve.

Final Reminder

The countdown has begun. August 2 is not just a date—it's a deadline. Ensure:

• e-KYC is done

• Aadhaar is linked to your bank

• Farmer ID is generated

• Land records are submitted

Complete these tasks immediately to secure your ₹2,000 installment and continue receiving future benefits without disruption.
