 +===== Real story from a citizen =====
 +**What we hear from RTI Wiki users**: Ramappa, a 67-year-old farmer in Karnataka, hadn't received the Aug 2024 installment. He filed an RTI under §6 to the District Agriculture Officer asking (a) reason for missed installment, (b) %%eKYC%% status, (c) land-record linkage status, (d) officer to contact for rectification. Reply in 19 days flagged that his %%eKYC%% had expired (some states require annual re-verification). He completed face-auth on the PM-KISAN app in 5 minutes; missed installment + Dec 2024 installment both released together within 21 days.
 +
 +===== 7 reasons your status may be stuck =====
 +  * **%%eKYC%% not completed** — single biggest reason for stopped payments. Fix: do face-auth on PM-KISAN app (free, instant).
 +  * **Income tax filer** — automatic disqualification. Anyone who paid IT in any of last 2 AYs is excluded.
 +  * **Pension > Rs. 10,000/month** — disqualifies. Govt pensioners barred.
 +  * **Constitutional post-holders** — MPs, MLAs, ex-Ministers, judges barred.
 +  * **Professional registration** — doctors, engineers, CAs, lawyers, architects in active practice barred (Operational Guidelines).
 +  * **Land record not seeded** — Patwari hasn't uploaded your khasra/khatauni. Fix: physical visit + RTI if no action.
 +  * **Aadhaar not linked to bank account** — DBT fails. Fix: visit bank with Aadhaar.
 +  * **Account dormant** for 1+ year — bank account inactive. Fix: deposit Rs. 100, transactions revive.
 +  * **Family land split** — if your family land has been divided amongst heirs but record not updated, only one is eligible.
 +
 +===== Pro tips most don't know =====
 +  * **Face-auth %%eKYC%%** via PM-KISAN mobile app is the FASTEST method — 30 seconds, free, no biometric machine needed.
 +  * **Aadhaar-based bank account** is automatically detected — you don't need a separate seeding process if Aadhaar is bank-linked.
 +  * **Status of Self-Registered Farmers** has the precise rejection reason — most users skip this section.
 +  * **Karnataka, AP, Telangana, Odisha** add a state top-up to PM-KISAN (Rs. 4,000-12,000 extra/year). Check state-specific portals.
 +  * If you're a tenant farmer (not landowner), you're NOT eligible for PM-KISAN. Some states (Andhra) have separate "Rythu Bharosa" for tenant farmers.

 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +  * **Q: How often is PM-KISAN paid?** — 3 installments of Rs. 2,000 each per year (every 4 months — typically Apr-Jul, Aug-Nov, Dec-Mar).
 +  * **Q: Can I get PM-KISAN if I have only 0.5 acres?** — Yes — there's no minimum landholding. The earlier 2-hectare cap was removed in May 2019.
 +  * **Q: What if my land is in joint family?** — Each landholder family is treated as one unit. Only one nomination per family.
 +  * **Q: I missed face-auth deadline. Can I still get back-installments?** — Yes — once %%eKYC%% is done, missed installments release in 30-60 days as arrears.
 +  * **Q: How is PM-KISAN different from PM-KISAN Maandhan?** — PM-KISAN = Rs. 6,000/year cash transfer (current). Maandhan = pension scheme (Rs. 3,000/month after age 60, contributory).
