    Why a payment gets held

    Once the problem is fixed, every instalment due to you is paid, unless your family falls under an exclusion.

    Held because What fixes it
    eKYC is not done

    Do eKYC with an Aadhaar OTP here, or with biometrics at a CSC or in the PM-KISAN app.

    Your bank account is not seeded with Aadhaar

    The money goes by DBT only to a bank account linked with your Aadhaar. Ask your bank to seed your Aadhaar to the account.

    How to seed Aadhaar to your account

    Go to your bank branch with your Aadhaar card and passbook. Ask to seed your Aadhaar to the account for DBT and sign the bank's consent form. Some banks also let you do it in net banking or the bank app.

    Your name does not match Aadhaar

    Edit your name to match your Aadhaar card with Edit Aadhaar details in the Farmers' Corner. It updates once Aadhaar confirms it.

    Your land came to you after 1 February 2019

    Eligibility follows the land records on that date. Land that came to you later counts if you inherited it after the owner's death. Your state checks the record before it pays.

    Two people in one family are registered

    A family gets one benefit. If husband and wife, or an adult and a minor child, are both getting it, payments are held until a physical check is done.
