The PM Kisan 24th installment is awaited by millions of beneficiaries, although the government has not yet announced its official release date. Meanwhile, the PM Kisan portal has several facilities that can help farmers update their records and resolve issues related to the scheme.
Farmers can use these options online instead of visiting government offices for certain updates and queries.
1. Update incomplete PM Kisan details online
Farmers whose records contain missing information can use the update facility available on the PM Kisan portal. To check their records, beneficiaries need to enter their Aadhaar number or registration number along with the captcha. If any required information is incomplete, the relevant details can be filled in and submitted through the portal.
Completing the required information can help farmers keep their scheme records up to date.
2. Change registered mobile number
Farmers who have changed their phone number or linked a different mobile number with Aadhaar can update their details through the portal.
Under the Update Mobile Number facility, beneficiaries can search for their records using their Aadhaar number or registration number and captcha. They can then provide the requested information and submit the new mobile number.
3. Refund facility for ineligible beneficiaries
The PM Kisan portal also provides an online facility for beneficiaries who later find that they are not eligible for the scheme but have continued receiving payments. Farmers can use the refund option by entering their registration number or Aadhaar number and captcha. After selecting “Get OTP”, they can follow the instructions displayed on the portal to complete the refund process.
4. Find PM Kisan nodal officers
Farmers facing unresolved issues can also find contact details of officials responsible for handling PM Kisan-related matters. The portal has a Search your Point of Contact (POC) facility. Beneficiaries can access State Nodal Contact Details for state-level assistance or use the Search District Nodal option for district-specific concerns.
After selecting the relevant state and district, farmers can view details such as the concerned official’s name, phone number and email address.
PM Kisan 24th Installment: What farmers should do
While the PM Kisan 24th installment date is yet to be officially announced, beneficiaries can use the available portal facilities to check and update their records in advance.
Farmers should ensure that their information is complete and their registered mobile number is up to date. Those facing payment or eligibility-related issues can also use the portal’s refund and nodal officer facilities instead of waiting until the next installment is released.
