PM Kisan 22nd Installment: If you are a beneficiary of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme and are waiting for the 22nd installment, then this information is very important for you. According to the latest government data, the bank accounts of more than 30 lakh farmers across the country are not yet linked to Aadhaar. In such a situation, there may be a problem in getting the next installment of Rs 2000 in their account. The government has made it clear that to receive payment under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), it is mandatory for the bank account to be linked to Aadhaar.

Accounts of 30,18,361 farmers not linked to Aadhar

According to the data available till 6 February 2026, the accounts of 30,18,361 farmers have not been found linked to Aadhaar. Its biggest impact can be seen in big agricultural states. The accounts of more than 10 lakh farmers in Uttar Pradesh are not linked to Aadhaar. Apart from this, a large number of accounts are also pending in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Although the number of affected farmers is less in smaller states and union territories like Sikkim, Goa and Chandigarh, some beneficiaries may face problems there too.

Financial assistance of Rs 6000 every year to farmers

Under PM Kisan Yojana, the central government provides financial assistance of Rs 6000 every year to the farmers. This amount is sent directly to the bank accounts of the farmers in three equal installments. This payment is made through DBT system, in which it is necessary to have a bank account verified with Aadhaar. If the account is not linked to Aadhaar or the verification is incomplete, the payment may fail or remain pending.

How to link Aadhaar?

Farmers can easily check their account status. For this, they can check the Aadhaar link status by logging into net banking or mobile banking app. Apart from this, information can be obtained by visiting your nearest bank branch. Many banks also inform the status of Aadhaar linking through ATM or SMS facility.

Aadhar linking process

If your bank account is not linked to Aadhaar, it is very easy to update it. You can complete this process through “Aadhaar Seeding” option in the online banking portal. To adopt the offline method, the form will have to be filled in the bank branch along with Aadhar card and passbook. After completion of the process, confirmation is sent by the bank through SMS or email.

It is very important to have Aadhar link

The thing to note is that Aadhaar linking has now become a mandatory condition in many government schemes. Therefore, it is important to complete this process on time. To get the amount of Rs 2000 for the 22nd installment, farmers have been advised to immediately check the status of their account and get Aadhaar seeding done if necessary. The installment may get stuck if a small formality is not completed, so do not wait for the last moment.
