Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why does a PM-KISAN instalment get held up?

Common reasons are incomplete e-KYC, an Aadhaar-bank linking mismatch, or pending land record verification — check "Beneficiary Status" on the portal for the exact reason.

Has PM-KISAN's annual amount increased to ₹10,000?

No — this is a misleading claim that PIB Fact Check has debunked. The scheme still pays ₹6,000/year (three instalments of ₹2,000). Confirm any change only via pmkisan.gov.in or official PIB statements.
