PM-Kisan Yojana Alert: Miss This Step and You May Lose ₹2000 Benefit!

 New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): There is an important news for crores of beneficiary farmers of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme. Farmers waiting for the 20th installment of the scheme will have to ensure that their mobile number is correct and updated on the portal of the scheme. The government has made it clear that the beneficiaries whose mobile number is found to be wrong or switched off will not be sent the next installment of Rs 2000.

Why is correct mobile number important?

Actually, before releasing every installment, the central government does OTP based verification to ensure the identity of the beneficiary. This OTP is sent only to the registered mobile number of the farmer. If your mobile number is entered incorrectly on the portal or you are no longer using that number, then the OTP will not reach you. Due to this your verification will fail and the installment money will be stuck.

Disadvantages of not updating the mobile number

The 20th installment of Rs 2000 will not be received on time.

OTP verification may fail.

There also remains a possibility of fraud from your account through some other number.

Future installments may also be delayed or interrupted.
