 +====== PM-KISAN: Name Not in List, Fix It in 2026 ======

 +{{https://righttoinformation.wiki/og/check-status-pm-kisan-name-not-in-list.webp?1200x675|Indian farmer checking PM-KISAN beneficiary list issue at an agriculture office}}
 +
 +**Reviewed on:** 2026-06-19.
 +
 +<WRAP info>**Direct answer.** Your name is missing from the PM-KISAN beneficiary list most often because e-KYC is incomplete, your Aadhaar name does not match the land record, or land seeding at the state level is pending. Identify the cause below, apply the fix, and re-check your status on pmkisan.gov.in after 2 to 4 weeks.</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Why Your Name Is Not in the List =====
 +
 +The PM-KISAN scheme pays Rs 6,000 per year in three instalments of Rs 2,000 each to eligible farmer families. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare maintains the beneficiary list centrally. A name is dropped or rejected for six main reasons, each with a specific fix.
 +
 +===== Cause 1: e-KYC Not Done or Not Verified =====
 +
 +e-KYC is **mandatory** for all PM-KISAN farmers. If you skipped it, or the OTP session timed out before the system saved your response, your instalments are blocked and your name will not appear in the active list.
 +
 +**Fix:**
 +
 +  - Go to [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]] and click **Farmer Corner > e-KYC**.
 +  - Enter your **Aadhaar number** and the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile.
 +  - If your mobile is not linked to Aadhaar, visit the nearest **Common Service Centre (CSC)** for biometric e-KYC and keep the acknowledgement slip.
 +
 +After successful e-KYC, allow 2 to 4 weeks for the status to update in the beneficiary list. If it has been more than 6 weeks, revisit the CSC to confirm the e-KYC was recorded on the portal.
 +
 +===== Cause 2: Aadhaar Name Does Not Match Land Record =====
 +
 +The PM-KISAN system matches the name in your land record (Khatauni or patta) with your Aadhaar name. Even a minor spelling difference ("Ramesh" vs "Ramesh Kumar") triggers rejection.
 +
 +**Fix:** Both names must match. Two paths:
 +
 +  * **Correct your Aadhaar name** at the nearest Aadhaar enrolment centre or via [[https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in|myAadhaar (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in)]] using OTP for minor corrections. Takes 5 to 30 days. See also [[check-status:aadhaar-status|Aadhaar update status]].
 +  * **Correct the land record name** through your district revenue or patwari office. This takes longer but is necessary when the Aadhaar name is already correct and the land record has the error.
 +
 +Once both names match, go to **Farmer Corner > Edit/Update Self Registration** on [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]] and resubmit your details.
 +
 +===== Cause 3: Land Record Not Seeded or Not Verified by State =====
 +
 +Your state agriculture department must verify your land records against the state revenue database before your name appears on the central list. If this verification is pending, your name will not show.
 +
 +**Fix:**
 +
 +  - Visit your **district agriculture office** or nearest **Common Service Centre** with your Khatauni, Aadhaar card, and bank passbook.
 +  - Request the officer to verify and seed your land record in the PM-KISAN portal.
 +  - Ask for a written acknowledgement of the request.
 +
 +Some states allow farmers to submit missing information themselves. On [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]], check **Farmer Corner > Update Missing Information** to see whether this option is available in your state.
 +
 +===== Cause 4: Bank Account Frozen, Closed, or Name Mismatch =====
 +
 +Your bank account must be active and the account name must match your Aadhaar. A zero-balance freeze, a closed account, or a name mismatch blocks credit and can eventually remove you from the active list.
 +
 +**Fix:**
 +
 +  - Visit your bank and confirm the account is active and operational.
 +  - Check that the name on the account matches your Aadhaar name. If not, apply for a correction at the bank with a copy of your Aadhaar.
 +  - Go to **Farmer Corner > Edit/Update Self Registration** on [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]] and update the bank account number and IFSC if needed.
 +
 +Once the bank account is corrected, the next instalment cycle should credit without issue, provided all other details are in order.
 +
 +===== Cause 5: You Fall Under an Exclusion Category =====
 +
 +PM-KISAN excludes certain farmer families regardless of land ownership. If you fall into any category below, your name cannot be added to the list.
 +
 +**Excluded categories (as per PM-KISAN operational guidelines, pmkisan.gov.in):**
 +
 +^ Who is excluded ^ Note ^
 +| All persons who paid income tax in the previous assessment year | Applies to the entire farmer family as a unit |
 +| Constitutional post holders (current or former) | MPs, MLAs, Ministers, Mayors, Municipal Chairpersons |
 +| Retired central/state government employees drawing pension above Rs 10,000 per month | Excludes Multi-Tasking Staff and Group D employees |
 +| Professionals registered with professional bodies | Doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants, architects |
 +| Serving employees of central/state government, PSUs, and autonomous bodies | Excludes Multi-Tasking Staff and Group D employees |
 +| Institutional landholders | Land held by trusts, cooperatives, or other entities |
 +
 +**Income-tax exclusion note:** If any member of the farmer family filed an income-tax return in the previous assessment year, the entire family is excluded. This applies even if the land and registration are in the name of a different family member who does not pay tax.
 +
 +If none of these applies to your family, your exclusion is most likely Cause 1, 2, 3, or 4.
 +
 +===== Cause 6: Application Pending at State Level =====
 +
 +New self-registrations and corrections go through a state-level approval queue. A registration that is pending approval will not appear in the beneficiary list until the state verifies and approves it.
 +
 +**Fix:**
 +
 +  - On [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]], go to **Farmer Corner > Status of Self Registered Farmer/CSC Farmers**.
 +  - Enter your **Aadhaar number** and complete the CAPTCHA.
 +  - The page shows whether your registration is "Pending for Approval", "Rejected", or "Registered".
 +  - If "Pending", wait 4 to 6 weeks and check again.
 +  - If "Rejected", note the reason shown and match it to the relevant cause above.
 +  - If "Rejected" with no clear reason after 8 weeks, see the RTI section below.
 +
 +===== How to Re-check Your Status After Fixing =====
 +
 +Once you have applied the fix, follow these steps:
 +
 +  - Open [[https://pmkisan.gov.in|pmkisan.gov.in]] in your browser.
 +  - Click **Farmer Corner > Know Your Status**.
 +  - Enter your **PM-KISAN Registration Number**, complete the CAPTCHA, and enter the OTP sent to your e-KYC-registered mobile.
 +  - The page shows payment status, bank name, UTR number, and credit date for each instalment.
 +
 +To search by location, use **Farmer Corner > Beneficiary List** and select State, District, Sub-District, Block, and Village from the dropdowns. See also [[check-status:pm-kisan-status|how to check your PM-KISAN instalment status]] for a step-by-step guide.
 +
 +The list updates in batches. Allow 2 to 4 weeks after any correction before expecting your name to appear.
 +
 +===== Eligibility Recap: Who Qualifies =====
 +
 +PM-KISAN is for **landholder farmer families** (husband, wife, and minor children) where the family owns cultivable land and does not fall into any exclusion category above.
 +
 +Key points:
 +
 +  * Cultivable land must appear in the farmer's or an eligible family member's name in the land record.
 +  * Tenant farmers and landless agricultural labourers do not qualify under PM-KISAN; some states run separate schemes for them.
 +  * Urban farmers whose municipality has declared the land as non-agricultural are not eligible.
 +  * Jointly held land: co-owners are treated as one family unit. Verify the eligibility of your specific situation on the portal.
 +  * Land acquired after 01-02-2019 (the scheme launch date) is subject to additional verification by states.
 +  * Families where more than one member is receiving PM-KISAN benefits are flagged for de-duplication.
 +
 +===== File an RTI If the Portal Gives No Reason =====
 +
 +If the portal shows "Rejected" with no clear reason, or your correction is ignored for more than 8 weeks, you can file an application under the Right to Information Act, 2005.
 +
 +**File an RTI to:** //Public Information Officer, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare// (for central-level decisions on eligibility and instalment processing), or to the //State Agriculture Department PIO// for land-verification rejections handled at district or state level.
 +
 +Ask for:
 +
 +  * The specific reason your PM-KISAN registration was rejected or removed from the beneficiary list.
 +  * Copies of all file notings and correspondence related to your registration case.
 +  * The eligibility criteria and internal checklist applied to your application.
 +  * The name and designation of the officer who approved or rejected your registration.
 +  * The timeline within which a correction submitted on the portal is expected to be processed.
 +
 +A first appeal lies to the First Appellate Authority within 30 days if the reply is absent or unsatisfactory.

 +
 +===== FAQ =====
 +
 +==== My e-KYC is done but my name still does not show. Why? ====
 +
 +e-KYC confirmation can take 2 to 4 weeks to reflect in the beneficiary list. If it has been more than 6 weeks, visit your nearest CSC to confirm the e-KYC was recorded. An OTP session sometimes times out before the system saves the response.
 +
 +==== I registered on the portal myself. Why is my status still "Pending"? ====
 +
 +Self-registrations go through district and then state-level verification, which typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. If there is no change after 8 weeks, visit your district agriculture office with your acknowledgement number and ask for the status in writing.
 +
 +==== Can I correct my Aadhaar name online without visiting a centre? ====
 +
 +Minor spelling corrections are available on [[https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in|myAadhaar (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in)]] using OTP. More substantial name changes require a visit to an Aadhaar enrolment centre with supporting identity documents.
 +
 +==== My land is in my father's name. Am I eligible? ====
 +
 +Only if your father is the registered family head and the land record is in his name. If he is deceased, you must first get the land record mutated into your name through the district revenue office, and then register on PM-KISAN.
 +
 +==== I pay income tax. Can my father, who is a farmer, still get PM-KISAN? ====
 +
 +No. The exclusion applies to the **farmer family** as a unit. If any family member paid income tax in the previous assessment year, the entire family is excluded, regardless of whose name the land is in.
 +
 +==== What is the Registration Number and where do I find it? ====
 +
 +Your PM-KISAN Registration Number is sent by SMS when you first register. It also appears on any instalment credit SMS. You can retrieve it on [[https://pmkisan.gov.in/FarmerStatus.aspx|pmkisan.gov.in > Status of Self Registered Farmer]] by entering your Aadhaar number.
 +
 +==== The portal shows my name but the money is not coming. What next? ====
 +
 +Check whether your bank account is active and the name matches your Aadhaar. A frozen or mismatched bank account is the most common reason instalments are blocked even when the name appears in the list. Use [[check-status:pm-kisan-status|PM-KISAN status check]] to confirm the payment UTR and trace the credit.
 +
 +===== What to Do in the Next 30 Minutes =====
 +
 +  * Go to [[https://pmkisan.gov.in/FarmerStatus.aspx|pmkisan.gov.in > Farmer Corner > Status of Self Registered Farmer]], enter your Aadhaar number, and note the exact status shown.
 +  * If "Not Registered": start a fresh self-registration or visit your nearest CSC.
 +  * If "Pending": set a reminder to check again in 4 weeks.
 +  * If "Rejected": match the reason shown to Cause 1 to 6 above and apply the relevant fix.
 +  * If e-KYC is not yet done: complete it on the portal today using your Aadhaar-linked mobile. If the OTP is not working, book a CSC appointment for biometric e-KYC.
