Know, The process of e-KYC through biometric method and where to contact for it
A fresh update has come out in PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. As the last date for e-KYC has been extended, let us tell you that now you can do e-KYC till 22 May. Earlier this date was 31st March. Meanwhile, the process of e-KYC has been changed. Now e-KYC will be done through biometric method and not Aadhaar based. For information, let us tell you that the process of e-KYC through Aadhaar based OTP authentication has been stopped for some time. So now farmers will have to do e-KYC through biometric method. For this, the farmer has to give his thumb impression. From this mark the process of e-KYC will be completed.
Where to contact for Biometric E-KYC
For Biometric e-KYC, farmers have to visit their nearest CSC center. There you have to give your thumb impression. Your thumb impression will be matched with the thumb impression given in your Aadhar card. If the mark is found then your biometric e-KYC will be completed. If not received, e-KYC will be treated as invalid. Let us tell you that the system of biometric e-KYC is not currently available on the site of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, so you will have to go to the CHC center to get the biometric e-KYC done.
How much will be charged for getting Biometric e-KYC done
Till now e-KYC was based on Aadhaar number. For this OTP used to come on your mobile. And by entering that OTP, the process of e-KYC was completed. But now this process has been stopped for some time, now you have to do e-KYC through biometric method, for which you will have to go to the CHC center. Here you may have to pay a fee of 15 to 30 rupees for e-KYC.
E-KYC is necessary to get 11th installment (PM Kisan 11th installment)
Many such cases have come to the fore through news published in newspapers in which ineligible people are taking advantage of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. In such a situation, the government has now made it mandatory to do e-KYC for the purpose of reaching the benefits of the scheme to the eligible people under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. By identifying the genuine eligible farmers through e-KYC, the amount of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi will be given in their accounts. Right now the 11th installment of this scheme is about to come. In view of this, the process of doing e-KYC is being expedited and hence its last date has also been extended by the government so that farmers can complete the process of e-KYC in time.
What is KYC and what will be the benefit of doing it
KYC means identification of the customer. That is, the bank identifies its customer who is getting the benefit of the services. Similarly, under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, the identification of the beneficiary farmers associated with the scheme is being done through e-KYC. The biggest advantage of doing e-KYC is that the right eligible person will be able to get the benefit of the scheme. Let us tell you that many people, despite not being farmers, took advantage of this scheme in a fraudulent way by adding their names. When the government came to know about this, it started taking action against such people and made e-KYC mandatory for the farmers associated with the scheme so that the actual eligible farmer could get the benefit of this scheme. If you are also associated with PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and want to take advantage of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi continuously without any interruption, then do e-KYC soon.
