+===== What PM-Kisan is =====
+PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi is a central scheme that pays eligible landholding farmer families ₹6000 a year. The money arrives in three equal instalments of ₹2000 each, sent straight to your bank account by Direct Benefit Transfer. The scheme is run by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
+===== Scheme position, eligibility and your RTI right =====
+PM-Kisan is administered by the [[https://agriwelfare.gov.in/|Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare]], and all status and eKYC services run on the official [[https://pmkisan.gov.in/|pmkisan.gov.in]] portal. Eligibility covers landholding farmer families, subject to the scheme exclusion list (income-tax payers, constitutional post holders, pensioners above ₹10000 a month and other excluded categories). eKYC is mandatory for every registered farmer before an instalment is released.
+If your instalment is stuck and the portal gives no clear answer, you have a right to ask. Under [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/rti-act-2005|RTI Act 2005]] §6(1) you can file an application asking why your benefit was withheld, and §7(1) requires the public authority to reply within 30 days. Use this when a status flag stays unexplained for weeks.
+This page owns the narrow "instalment date and not credited" question. For the broad "PM-Kisan status check" query, the canonical page is [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/pm-kisan-status-check-2026|PM-Kisan status check 2026]].
+===== How to check your instalment and beneficiary status =====
+  - Open the official portal at [[https://pmkisan.gov.in/|pmkisan.gov.in]].
+  - In the **Farmers Corner** box, click **Know Your Status**.
+  - Enter your **Registration Number**. If you do not know it, click **Know Your Registration Number**, enter your mobile or Aadhaar number, and verify with the OTP.
+  - Enter the captcha and the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
+  - Read your **status table**: it shows whether each instalment was paid, the date, and the eKYC, land seeding and Aadhaar-bank flags.
+  - To finish eKYC, return to Farmers Corner and click **eKYC**, enter your Aadhaar number and complete the OTP. For biometric or face eKYC, visit your nearest **CSC** centre.
+===== Documents you need =====
+  * Aadhaar number (must match scheme records)
+  * Registered mobile number linked to Aadhaar for OTP
+  * Bank account number with IFSC, seeded with Aadhaar at the bank
+  * Land record details as recorded at registration
+  * PM-Kisan Registration Number (for repeat checks)
+===== Status meanings and why a kist is not credited =====
+^ What you see / problem ^ What it means ^ How to fix it ^
+| eKYC pending / Not done | Mandatory Aadhaar eKYC is incomplete, so payment is held | Do OTP eKYC on the portal, or biometric eKYC at a CSC centre |
+| Aadhaar not seeded with bank / DBT disabled | Your bank account is not NPCI-mapped for DBT | Visit your bank branch and request Aadhaar seeding and DBT enablement |
+| Land record verification pending | State has not verified your land seeding | Contact your village revenue or agriculture office to complete verification |
+| Name mismatch (Aadhaar vs bank) | Names differ across records, so the transfer fails | Correct the spelling so Aadhaar, bank and PM-Kisan records match |
+| Payment failed / rejected | Wrong, closed or frozen account at PFMS level | Update correct active account details and re-verify |
+| Status shows paid but no money | Bank credit delay or wrong account on file | Check the named account and passbook before raising a complaint |
+===== Real-life example =====
+<WRAP center round box>
+Dr. Shrawan Kumar Pathak, a smallholder, saw the 22nd instalment reach his neighbours but not him. On **Know Your Status** his record showed "eKYC pending". His daughter Kashvi Pathak completed OTP eKYC on pmkisan.gov.in in minutes and got the bank account Aadhaar-seeded the next day. When the catch-up payment still did not arrive after weeks, he filed an RTI under §6(1) asking the DBT cell for the reason and date of release. (Illustrative example.)
