+====== PM-KISAN application rejected / instalment stopped ======
+{{:social:auto:rejection-recovery-pm-kisan-rejected.png?direct&1200 |PM-KISAN application rejected / instalment stopped — RTI Wiki}}
+<WRAP info>
+**Quick answer:** PM-KISAN rejection: **(1) Initial application** — land record name mismatch, exclusion category (IT taxpayer, govt employee), Aadhaar/bank issue; **(2) Instalment stopped** — %%eKYC%% pending, NPCI Aadhaar de-mapped, land seeded incorrectly. **Most fixes are technical**: do %%eKYC%%, link Aadhaar to bank, update land record. **Appeal to State Nodal Officer + RTI for rejection reason**.
+</WRAP>
+===== Top reasons for rejection =====
+  * **%%eKYC%% pending** — annual %%eKYC%% mandatory; instalments freeze without it.
+  * **Aadhaar not linked to bank (NPCI mapping)** — DBT bounces. Visit bank.
+  * **Land record name mismatch** — Aadhaar vs Bhulekh. Update one to match.
+  * **Exclusion category (IT taxpayer, govt employee)** — verified ineligible. Refund + cancellation.
+  * **Land seeded but ownership disputed** — Patwari report under family/joint name.
+===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
+  - **Check status at pmkisan.gov.in** — Beneficiary Status → see reason: "%%eKYC%% pending", "Aadhaar de-mapped", "Land seeding pending", "Excluded".
+  - **Do %%eKYC%% immediately** — pmkisan.gov.in → %%eKYC%% → Aadhaar OTP. If OTP fails: biometric %%eKYC%% at CSC (Rs 25).
+  - **Re-link Aadhaar to bank (NPCI mapping)** — Visit bank with Aadhaar. Bank submits to NPCI. 2-3 days for activation.
+  - **Land record name fix** — Apply mutation correction at Tehsildar OR update Aadhaar to match Bhulekh. Aadhaar update via myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in (Rs 50).
+  - **If excluded category disputed** — Appeal to State Nodal Officer with proof: latest IT return showing not a taxpayer / non-govt employment cert.
+  - **If land ownership disputed** — Submit family settlement deed / partition cert; fresh Patwari verification.
+  - **RTI to Block Agriculture Officer** — For: rejection rationale, Patwari report, exclusion criteria applied.
+  - **CPGRAMS parallel** — pgportal.gov.in → category Agriculture → PM-KISAN. Time-bound disposal.
+===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
+  * **Statutory appeal route:** PM-KISAN grievance: Block Agri Officer → DM → State Nodal → %%MoA%%&FW. CPGRAMS parallel.
+  * **Appeal window:** 30 days at each level
+  * **Fee:** Free at all stages.
+===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
+  * Updated Aadhaar (matching Bhulekh)
+  * Bank Aadhaar-linked (NPCI mapper active)
+  * Latest IT return / non-govt employment cert (if exclusion disputed)
+===== File an RTI in parallel — most rejections clear within 15 days =====
+Government rejection orders often lack actual rationale. RTI brings out the file noting + officer name + actual basis — and that visibility usually resolves the case. Use this template:
+<code>
+. Copy of the rejection order + complete file noting on application no. _____ dated _____.
+. Name + designation of the officer who took the rejection decision.
+. Specific Section / Rule / Circular under which rejection was made + supporting evidence relied upon.
+. Number of similar applications in the past 12 months that were (a) approved, (b) rejected — for the same officer.
+. The procedure + timeline for filing an appeal + the office of the appellate authority.

+===== Frequently asked questions =====
+==== Missed %%eKYC%% for 2 years — pending instalments lost? ====
+Once %%eKYC%% done, pending instalments re-credited in next cycle. No fresh application needed.
+==== Land in joint family name — can I get? ====
+Yes if you cultivate. Patwari cert of cultivator share + family declaration. State decides.
+==== Govt pensioner < Rs 10K/month — eligible? ====
+Yes if pension < Rs 10,000/month + you cultivate. Above Rs 10K: excluded.
+==== Excluded earlier but now retired (no IT return) — can I re-apply? ====
+Yes — fresh application as new beneficiary. Submit non-IT-taxpayer self-declaration + retirement order.
+==== Wrongly excluded — refund demanded by govt. Pay or appeal? ====
+Appeal to State Nodal first. If you genuinely meet criteria, refund order is reversed. Pay only if confirmed ineligible.
+===== Summary + what to do next =====
+<WRAP center round tip 90%>
+**Bottom line:** Don't accept a rejection at face value — request the file noting via RTI, fix the underlying document gap, and file the statutory appeal within 30 days at each level. Most rejections reverse with corrected documents.
