Under the PM Kisan Yojana, registered farmers must take an important step by January 26, 2025. They are required to create a Farmer ID to receive the upcoming 19th installment of ₹2000. The process is simple, free of charge, and essential for availing the scheme's benefits. Let’s understand the steps to create the Farmer ID and its significance.

No Farmer ID, No ₹2000 Installment:

Farmers enrolled in the PM Kisan Yojana will receive the 19th installment of ₹2,000 in February 2025. However, this time, the government has introduced a new rule mandating the creation of a Farmer ID, which must also be linked with the Aadhaar card. Failure to create the Farmer ID by January 26, 2025, will result in the forfeiture of this installment. Therefore, it is crucial to complete this process before the deadline.

Purpose and Importance of the Farmer ID:

The Farmer ID initiative aims to authenticate farmers’ identities and link their land records with their Aadhaar cards. It is mandatory for all registered farmers under the PM Kisan Yojana to obtain this ID to continue receiving benefits. Additionally, the Farmer ID will not only ensure access to installments but also provide priority in other government schemes.

Steps to Create a Farmer ID:

Creating a Farmer ID is straightforward and free. Farmers can opt for online registration or visit their regional secretary or crop surveyor for assistance. Here is the step-by-step process for creating a Farmer ID online:

1. Visit the official PM Kisan Yojana website.
2. Click on the "Create New User Account" option.
3. Verify your Aadhaar card and mobile number.
4. Complete the registration through OTP verification.
5. Log in and select the "Registration as Farmer" option.
6. Fill out the form and submit it. Generate the Farmer ID using your Aadhaar card and OTP.
7. Download the Farmer ID slip for your records.

Benefits of the Farmer ID:

The Farmer ID is not limited to the PM Kisan Yojana; it also offers multiple advantages, including:

1. Direct Bank Transfers: Ensures the installment amount is credited directly to the farmer's bank account.
2. Compensation for Crop Loss: Simplifies the process of claiming compensation for crop damages.
3. Priority in Government Schemes: Provides access to other agricultural and welfare schemes.
4. MSP Support: Ensures farmers can sell their crops at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

Conclusion: To maximize the benefits of the PM Kisan Yojana, it is imperative to create a Farmer ID before January 26, 2025. By doing so, you not only secure the ₹2000 installment of the 19th phase but also gain access to other government schemes and advantages. Take immediate action to ensure you don't miss out on the benefits.
