📱 PM Kisan Status Check by Mobile Number (2026 Trick)
Many farmers face a common problem: “The portal asks for a Registration Number, but I only remember my Mobile Number.”
Don’t worry! You can easily find your Registration Number using your registered mobile number and then check your payment status. Follow this 2-Minute Process:
🆔 Can I Check Status Using Aadhar Card?
Note: Earlier, there was a direct option to check payment status by just entering the Aadhar Number. However, in 2026, the process has changed slightly for security reasons.
The New Way: You cannot see the installment history directly with Aadhar anymore. You MUST use Aadhar to find your Registration Number first (using the steps above), and then use that Registration Number to check the status.
Understanding Your Status Meaning
When you check your status, you might see these codes. Here is what they mean:
- ✅ FTO Processed: Good news! Fund Transfer Order is generated. Money will come soon.
- ⏳ RFT Signed by State: Request for Transfer is approved by the state. Waiting for Centre.
- ❌ Payment Stopped by State: There is an issue with your documents (Land Seeding/eKYC).
🛑 Requirement: Complete e-KYC to Release Payment
The Government of India has made e-KYC mandatory for all registered farmers. If your e-KYC status shows “NO”, your 19th/20th installment will be put on hold indefinitely.
You have three easy ways to complete this process in 2026:
1. OTP Based e-KYC (Free)
If your Aadhar is linked to an active mobile number:
- Go to PM Kisan Portal > Farmers Corner.
- Click on e-KYC option.
- Enter Aadhar Number & Search.
- Enter the 4-digit OTP received on mobile.
- Success: Status will update instantly.
2. PM Kisan Face Auth App
Best for those who don’t have OTP access:
- Download official PM Kisan GOI App.
- Login using Registration ID.
- Select “Face Auth e-KYC”.
- Scan your face using the phone camera.
- Done: No OTP needed.
🚜 How to Fix “Land Seeding: No” Problem?
If your status shows Land Seeding: NO, it means your land records are not digitally mapped to your PM Kisan ID. Note: This problem CANNOT be fixed online.
The Only Working Solution:
You must visit your local Agriculture Department Office (Krishi Bhavan) or meet the Patwari/Lekhpal of your village.
Documents to carry:
- Updated Land Record (Khatiyan/Parcha).
- Aadhar Card (Xerox).
- Bank Passbook.
- Status Printout showing “Land Seeding: No”.
🏦 “Aadhaar Bank Account Not Seeded” – The Quick Fix
Even if your bank account is linked to Aadhaar, you might not receive money. This is because PM Kisan uses DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) via NPCI mapper.
If your bank status is “Rejected” or “Pending”, do not wait for your old bank to fix it. It takes months.
💡 The India Post Payment Bank (IPPB) Trick
The fastest way to fix bank seeding issues is to open a new account in India Post Payment Bank (Post Office).
- Visit your nearest Post Office.
- Ask to open a DBT Enabled Account.
- Give your Biometric (Thumb impression).
- Result: Within 48 hours, your NPCI status will be updated automatically, and pending installments will be credited.

📝 New Farmer Registration 2026: Apply Online
Farmers who have recently bought land or missed the earlier registration can still apply. The portal is open for “New Farmer Registration”.
Required Documents for New Application:
⚠️ Common Mistake: Name Mismatch
Thousands of forms are rejected because the name on the application does not match the name on the Aadhaar Card (e.g., “Ram Kumar” vs “Ram Kumar Singh”).
The Fix: Use the “Name Correction as per Aadhaar” option in the Farmers Corner. You don’t need to visit the office for this; it is an online process.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Can both husband and wife get PM Kisan money?
No. Only one member of the family (Husband or Wife) can avail the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. If both apply, both applications may be rejected or recovery will be initiated later.

Yes. Income Tax payees are not eligible for this scheme. If you have received installments by mistake, you must refund the amount through the “Online Refund” option on the portal to avoid legal action.

This means your documents are currently being verified by the State Government. It usually takes 15-30 days. If it remains stuck for months, visit your Block Agriculture Officer (BAO) with your land documents.
Q4. Can I register if the land is in my father’s or grandfather’s name?
No. The land record (Khatiyan/RoR) must be updated in the applicant’s name. You must first get the land mutated (Namantaran) in your name before applying.
