The PM Kisan Yojana has been a game-changer for millions of farmers in India, providing ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments to eligible farmers. However, some farmers' applications have been canceled, and they are at risk of missing out on future installments. To ensure you continue benefiting from the scheme, it's important to avoid certain mistakes that could lead to the cancellation of your application.

Here’s a guide on the common errors farmers make under PM Kisan Yojana and how you can avoid them:

1. Incorrect or Incomplete bank Details

One of the most common reasons for cancellation is the incorrect bank account details submitted by farmers. If the account number, IFSC code, or bank branch information is wrong or incomplete, the subsidy payments cannot be processed.

· Solution: Ensure that the bank account details you provide are correct and up to date. Double-check your account number, IFSC code, and bank branch name. If you’ve changed your bank, update your details immediately on the PM Kisan portal.

2. Failure to Link Aadhaar with bank Account

The government has made it mandatory for farmers to link their Aadhaar number with their bank account to receive the PM Kisan benefits. If this linking is not done, the payments may get delayed or canceled.

· Solution: Link your Aadhaar with your bank account at the earliest. You can do this at your bank or via the Aadhaar Seeding process on the PM Kisan portal.

3. Non-Verification of Land Records

PM Kisan is a scheme targeted towards farmers who own cultivable land. If your land records are not updated, the application could be rejected. This can happen if your land details don't match the records in the government database.

· Solution: Make sure your land records are updated and match the information available in the government's database. Visit the official land records portal in your state to ensure the details are correct.

4. Not Completing KYC Process

Some farmers miss completing the KYC (Know Your Customer) process after applying for the scheme. This is especially common among farmers who have not updated their details or have a legacy application from a previous year.

· Solution: Always complete the KYC process by submitting the necessary documents. Make sure all personal details and documents (like identity proof, address proof, etc.) are in order.

5. Submitting False or Inaccurate Information

Providing false information about land ownership or income can lead to the cancellation of your PM Kisan application. If the authorities find discrepancies, your application will be flagged, and you will be disqualified from receiving the benefits.

· Solution: Always provide honest and accurate information. Ensure that your land ownership documents and income details are correct and verifiable.

6. Not Checking the Beneficiary List

Sometimes, farmers may think that their application is approved without checking the official beneficiary list released by the government. If your name is not on the list, it might be due to an error in your application, or your details may need to be updated.

· Solution: Regularly check the official PM Kisan beneficiary list. If your name is missing, you can correct any discrepancies by updating your application on the official portal.

7. Missing the application Deadline

PM Kisan Yojana has fixed application deadlines for each installment. If you fail to apply before the cutoff date, you might miss out on the next installment.

· Solution: Keep an eye on official announcements regarding deadlines and ensure you submit your application on time.

8. Not Maintaining Updated Contact Information

If the government needs to reach you regarding your PM Kisan application and your contact details are outdated, it may delay the process or lead to your application being rejected.

· Solution: Update your contact details (mobile number, email address) on the official PM Kisan portal so that you are notified of any important updates or changes.

Conclusion:

While the PM Kisan Yojana provides vital support to millions of farmers, it’s crucial to follow all guidelines and procedures carefully. Ensuring accurate details, timely updates, and regular checks on your application status will help you avoid unnecessary issues and ensure that you continue receiving the ₹6,000 annual support in three installments.
