Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana beneficiaries can check their status online in minutes — here’s how to check your status, step by step.
What You’ll Need Before You Start
- Your Aadhaar-linked mobile number (the OTP for verification goes here)
- Either your PM Kisan registration number, your Aadhaar number, or your registered bank account number
- Your name as it appears on land records should match your Aadhaar exactly, to avoid a mismatch error
How to Check Your Kisan Samman Nidhi Status: Step by Step
- Go to the official portal: pmkisan.gov.in
- In the Farmers Corner section on the homepage, click Know Your Status
- If you already know your registration number, enter it along with the captcha code shown
- If you don’t know your registration number, click Know Your Registration Number, then choose to search by mobile number or Aadhaar number
- Enter the requested number and captcha, then click Get Mobile OTP
- Enter the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number to verify — your registration number will then be displayed
- Return to the status page, enter your registration number and a fresh captcha, and click Get Data
- Your status page will show your personal details, e-KYC status, land-seeding status, and installment-by-installment payment history
Checking Your Village’s Full Beneficiary List
If you’d rather confirm your name appears on the official list for your area rather than checking your individual status:
- On pmkisan.gov.in, go to Farmers Corner → Beneficiary List
- Select your State, District, Sub-district (Tehsil/Taluk), Block, and Village from the dropdowns
- Click Get Report
- The full list of approved beneficiaries for that village will display, including names and partial account details
Common Reasons a Payment Doesn’t Arrive
| Status message / issue | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| e-KYC not completed | Payment is held until you finish OTP or biometric e-KYC |
| Aadhaar not bank-seeded | Your bank account isn’t mapped to Aadhaar via NPCI |
| Land record mismatch | Land ownership records don’t match your registered details |
| RFT signed by State Government | Good sign — your state has verified and forwarded your payment request |
| Name missing from list entirely | Usually a data error, not a permanent rejection |
Completing e-KYC If It’s Missing
e-KYC is mandatory to keep receiving installments. Two ways to complete it:
- Online: on pmkisan.gov.in, go to Farmers Corner → e-KYC, enter your Aadhaar number and captcha, then verify with an OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number
- In person: if your mobile isn’t linked to Aadhaar, or the online process fails, visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or State Seva Kendra for biometric e-KYC
The PM-KISAN Mobile App
Beyond the website, the PM-KISAN GoI app (available on the Play Store) lets you check status and complete face-authentication e-KYC directly from your phone — useful if you’re in an area better served by mobile data than a desktop connection.

- Formal grievance: use the Help Desk section on pmkisan.gov.in with your registration number, or approach your District Level Grievance Redressal Monitoring Committee if your name is missing from the list entirely
Who’s Eligible in the First Place
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is open to landholding farmer families — husband, wife, and minor children who own cultivable land, identified through state and UT land records. It’s worth knowing who’s specifically excluded, since a rejected status is sometimes simply an eligibility issue rather than a technical one:
- Institutional landholders
- Current and former holders of constitutional posts, ministers, MPs, MLAs, mayors, and local body chairpersons
- Serving or retired government employees and PSU/autonomous body officers (except Class IV/Group D staff)
- Pensioners receiving ₹10,000/month or more
- Anyone who paid income tax in the previous assessment year
- Professionals including doctors, engineers, architects, lawyers, and chartered accountants
