1. OTP Based e-KYC: Accessible via the PM Kisan Portal and Mobile App.
2. Biometric Based e-KYC: Available at Common Service Centres (CSCs) and State Seva Kendras (SSKs).
3. Face Authentication Based e-KYC: Also available through the PM Kisan Mobile App, which is widely used by farmers.

Eligibility Criteria

While the PM Kisan scheme aims to support small and marginal farmers, certain categories are not eligible for benefits. These include:

• Institutional landholders.
• Individuals holding constitutional posts or who have served as ministers or members of legislative bodies.
• Serving or retired government employees with a pension exceeding Rs 10,000.
• Professionals such as doctors, engineers, and lawyers who paid income tax in the last assessment year

This structured approach ensures that the benefits of the PM Kisan scheme are directed towards those who genuinely need financial assistance, thereby promoting agricultural welfare in India.
