PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status 2026: Complete Guide to Registration, e-KYC and Payment Status

If you have registered under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) and want to know whether your application is approved, whether e-KYC is complete or whether your ₹2,000 instalment has been credited, you can check the information through the official PM-KISAN Know Your Status service.

The official PM-KISAN portal currently provides a dedicated Know Your Status (KYS) facility. It asks for your PM-KISAN Registration Number and OTP, and the page can display account and payment information such as payment status, bank name, UTR number, payment mode, credited amount and credit date. It also includes a financial-year-wise e-KYC section.

This guide explains exactly what PM-KISAN beneficiary status means, how to check it, how to find your registration number, and what to do when your status or payment does not look correct.

What is PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status?

PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status is the information available through the government’s PM-KISAN Know Your Status system about a registered farmer’s scheme record.

It is useful for checking whether there is information available about:

Payment
Bank account
UTR
Credit date
e-KYC
Beneficiary record

The current official KYS page specifically displays Account Details and Financial Year wise e-KYC information.

PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status vs Beneficiary List

These two services should not be confused.

Beneficiary Status

This lets an individual farmer check their own PM-KISAN record and payment information through the Know Your Status facility.

Beneficiary List

The PM-KISAN portal separately provides beneficiary-list information.

Therefore, if you want to know:

“What is happening with my PM-KISAN payment?”

the Know Your Status facility is generally more useful than simply looking for your name in a village-level list.

How to Check PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status Online

You can use the official PM-KISAN Know Your Status page:

PM-KISAN Know Your Status

The current official page requires:

PM-KISAN Registration Number
Captcha
OTP sent to the registered mobile number

The page then provides the relevant status information.

Step-by-Step: Check PM-KISAN Status

Step 1: Open the official PM-KISAN website

Go to:

PM-KISAN Official Portal

Avoid websites that imitate the PM-KISAN portal.

Step 2: Open “Know Your Status”

From the PM-KISAN website, select:

Know Your Status

This opens the official KYS page.

Step 3: Enter your Registration Number

Enter your PM-KISAN Registration Number.

If you do not know the number, don’t guess it.

The official PM-KISAN portal has a separate service to retrieve the registration number.

Step 4: Enter the captcha

Complete the captcha displayed on the page.

Step 5: Request OTP

The official KYS page states that the OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number.

Step 6: Enter the OTP

Enter the OTP received on the registered mobile number.

Step 7: View your status

After successful verification, the available PM-KISAN status information is displayed.

What Information Can I See in PM-KISAN Status?

The current official Know Your Status page lists the following account/payment fields:

Payment Status
Bank Name
UTR No.
Payment Mode
Account Credited
Credited On

It also provides a Financial Year wise e-KYC section.

This makes the KYS page particularly useful when you are trying to find out why a payment has not appeared in your bank account.

What Does PM-KISAN Payment Status Mean?

The exact status displayed can depend on the beneficiary’s record.

The important point is that the payment section is designed to show information about the government transfer.

For example, the current page has fields for:

Payment Status → Bank Name → UTR → Payment Mode → Account Credited → Credit Date.

If a payment has been credited, the available credit information can help you determine when and where the payment was processed.

What is the UTR Number in PM-KISAN?

A UTR number is a transaction reference associated with a payment.

The PM-KISAN Know Your Status page includes a specific UTR No. field.

If your status displays a UTR number but you cannot locate the money in your account, keep that number available when contacting your bank or seeking assistance.

Do not confuse the UTR with your PM-KISAN registration number.

PM-KISAN Registration Number vs UTR Number

Number	Purpose
PM-KISAN Registration Number	Identifies your PM-KISAN beneficiary record
UTR Number	Identifies/references a payment transaction

You may need your Registration Number to check status, while the UTR can help trace a payment.

What if I Forgot My PM-KISAN Registration Number?

The official PM-KISAN portal provides a separate Know Your Registration Number service.

PM-KISAN Know Your Registration Number

The current page provides search options using:

Mobile Number
Aadhaar Number

Basic process

Open the official registration-number page.
Select the available search method.
Enter your mobile number or Aadhaar number.
Complete the requested verification.
Retrieve your PM-KISAN Registration Number.

Can I Check PM-KISAN Status Using Aadhaar Number Directly?

The current Know Your Status page asks for the PM-KISAN Registration Number.

If you don’t know your registration number, use the official Know Your Registration Number service, which currently provides mobile-number and Aadhaar-number search options.

So the practical route is:

Aadhaar/Mobile → Find Registration Number → Know Your Status

How to Check PM-KISAN e-KYC Status

The official Know Your Status page includes a:

“Financial Year wise e-KYC”

section.

This is useful because e-KYC is a mandatory requirement for registered PM-KISAN farmers.

The current PM-KISAN homepage explicitly states:

“eKYC is MANDATORY for PMKISAN Registered Farmers.”

Therefore, if your e-KYC information indicates that verification has not been completed, you should complete it through an official PM-KISAN e-KYC method.

What Does e-KYC Status “Yes” Mean?

If your official status shows that the required e-KYC has been completed, the e-KYC portion of your beneficiary verification has been recorded.

However:

e-KYC completion does not automatically guarantee a PM-KISAN payment.

Other eligibility and verification conditions still apply.

What Does e-KYC Status “No” Mean?

It indicates that the required e-KYC has not been recorded as completed for the beneficiary.

You should use an official e-KYC method to complete the process.

PM-KISAN currently supports different e-KYC methods, including OTP and biometric/face-authentication options through supported systems. The official portal currently highlights biometric e-KYC availability through CSC VLE logins, the PM-KISAN mobile application and state-authorised users.

What If My PM-KISAN Status Shows Payment but I Didn’t Receive ₹2,000?

First, don’t submit another application.

Instead:

1. Check the payment status.

2. Check the bank name shown in the record.

3. Look for the UTR number.

4. Check the account-credit information.

5. Contact your bank if the transaction appears completed but the money is not visible.

The official KYS page specifically provides payment, bank, UTR and credit-date fields for this purpose.

What If My Bank Name Is Wrong?

If the bank information shown in your PM-KISAN record is incorrect, the issue should be corrected through the authorised PM-KISAN update process.

Do not create another PM-KISAN registration simply because your bank information needs correction.

The PM-KISAN portal currently includes facilities for updating beneficiary information.

What If the UTR Is Available but Money Is Not Credited?

If your PM-KISAN status shows a UTR and indicates that a payment was processed, but you cannot find the amount in your account:

Verify the bank account connected to the beneficiary record.
Check recent bank transactions.
Keep the UTR number.
Contact the bank if necessary.
If the bank cannot resolve the issue, use the appropriate PM-KISAN grievance/support channel.

The UTR is particularly useful because it provides a transaction reference.

What If PM-KISAN Status Shows No Payment?

There are several possible reasons.

For example:

Eligibility verification issue
e-KYC problem
Bank/payment issue
Land verification issue
Beneficiary record problem
Exclusion-category issue
Payment processing issue

A “no payment” situation should therefore be investigated through the official status information rather than assuming that the registration has been cancelled.

PM-KISAN Status and Eligibility Are Not the Same

This is an important distinction.

Status

Shows information about your current record/payment/e-KYC.

Eligibility

Determines whether you satisfy the PM-KISAN scheme conditions.

A person can have a PM-KISAN registration record but still have an eligibility or verification issue.

The current PM-KISAN portal specifically warns that some suspected exclusion cases have had benefits temporarily withheld pending physical verification.

PM-KISAN Status Shows Benefits Temporarily Withheld

The current official PM-KISAN website identifies certain suspected cases where benefits have been temporarily withheld.

Examples include:

Farmers who acquired land ownership after 1 February 2019
Cases where more than one family member is receiving benefits

The department states that such benefits are temporarily withheld until physical verification is completed. It asks affected farmers to check their eligibility status through Know Your Status, the PM-KISAN mobile app or Kisan eMitra.

This is important because:

“Payment not received” does not always mean “scheme rejected.”

There may be a verification issue that needs to be resolved.

PM-KISAN Status for the 23rd Instalment

The Government of India released the 23rd PM-KISAN instalment on 20 June 2026.

The official PM-KISAN website identifies the release location as:

Tarakeswar, Hooghly, West Bengal.

If you expected the 23rd instalment but did not receive it, check your official KYS page rather than relying on social-media posts or third-party beneficiary lists.

PM-KISAN 23rd Instalment: What Should I Check?

If you did not receive the 23rd instalment, check:

Step 1: Registration status
↓
Step 2: e-KYC status
↓
Step 3: Eligibility/verification status
↓
Step 4: Payment status
↓
Step 5: Bank name
↓
Step 6: UTR/payment information

This sequence can help identify where the problem is occurring.

What If My PM-KISAN Registration Is Not Showing?

If you believe you registered but cannot retrieve your registration number:

Use:

PM-KISAN Know Your Registration Number

The official facility currently allows searches using a mobile number or Aadhaar number.

If the record still cannot be found, don’t immediately submit another application.

You may need to determine whether the original registration was actually submitted or whether it is still under verification.

Check Self-Registered Farmer Status

PM-KISAN also has a separate service for farmers who:

Registered themselves online, or
Were registered through a CSC.

PM-KISAN Self-Registered / CSC Farmer Status

The current page asks for the farmer’s Aadhaar number and verification information.

This can be particularly useful for a person who has recently submitted a new PM-KISAN registration.

New Registration Status vs Beneficiary Status

These are different situations.

New farmer

If you recently submitted an application, use the self-registered/CSC farmer status facility to track the registration/verification process.

Existing beneficiary

If you are already registered and receiving PM-KISAN benefits, use Know Your Status to check payment and e-KYC information.

This distinction can prevent confusion.

Can I Check PM-KISAN Status on Mobile?

Yes.

The official PM-KISAN system provides mobile-accessible services, and the government also provides the PM-KISAN mobile application.

The official website currently directs farmers to use the website/mobile app and Kisan eMitra for checking relevant eligibility information in certain cases.

What If PM-KISAN Website Is Not Working?

Government portals can occasionally experience technical or temporary service problems.

If the page does not load:

Check your internet connection.
Try again later.
Use the official PM-KISAN website rather than a third-party portal.
Try the PM-KISAN mobile app where appropriate.
If the problem continues, use the official help/grievance facility.

Avoid websites claiming that they can provide a “special” PM-KISAN status result.

Can I Check PM-KISAN Status Through a CSC?

Yes, a CSC can assist farmers with various PM-KISAN services.

However, you should not give your account password, OTP or banking PIN to an operator.

For identity verification services, follow the official authentication process.

Is PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status the Same as Beneficiary List?

No.

The Beneficiary List is a separate PM-KISAN service.

The Know Your Status page is intended for individual status/payment information.

For payment troubleshooting, KYS is generally more useful because it includes payment and bank information.

What If My Name Is Missing From the PM-KISAN Beneficiary List?

Don’t immediately conclude that you are permanently excluded.

First determine:

Whether you have a PM-KISAN registration number
Whether your registration was approved
Whether your e-KYC is complete
Whether your land/eligibility verification is complete
Whether any exclusion condition applies

If you recently registered, the self-registration status service may be more appropriate than an old beneficiary list.

What If My PM-KISAN Status Is Wrong?

If the information appears incorrect, use the official PM-KISAN update/help facilities.

The current PM-KISAN portal provides several beneficiary services, including:

Edit/update self-registration
Update missing information
Update mobile number
Name correction as per Aadhaar
Know Your Status
Helpdesk/query form

Avoid creating duplicate registrations.

Important: Don’t Trust Fake PM-KISAN Status Websites

Search engines may show websites that imitate government services.

Before entering:

Aadhaar number
Mobile number
OTP
Bank information

make sure you are on the official pmkisan.gov.in domain.

The official PM-KISAN portal is maintained by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, and its site is designed and hosted by the National Informatics Centre.
