A PIB statement dated 12 August 2026 described land seeding, Aadhaar linkage with bank accounts and e-KYC as mandatory beneficiary-verification requirements under PM-KISAN. The statement says the States/UTs enrol and validate beneficiary data. This record captures an official implementation update; it does not claim the requirements were newly introduced on this date.
Previous position: The scheme already used beneficiary verification. The cited statement reiterates the checks relevant to identifying and validating eligible beneficiaries.
Current position: Applicants should complete applicable verification steps and check their own beneficiary status on the official PM-KISAN portal. This record does not determine an individual farmer’s eligibility.
