PM Kisan Status Check: Registration Number, Aadhaar and Mobile

Keep these ready before you start

• Your registration number. If you do not have it, the portal can find it for you (see the next section).
• The mobile number used for your eKYC. The Know Your Status page says the OTP is sent to the eKYC-registered mobile number. Keep that phone in your hand.
• A working internet connection and a few minutes. The page has a captcha box, spelt "Capcha" on the portal, so type the letters carefully.
• No smartphone? A PIB release of 10 March 2026 says farmers without mobiles can use Common Service Centres (CSCs) and state offices at Block or Tehsil level.

If your eKYC is not done yet, finish it first using our PM Kisan eKYC guide, because the status page relies on that mobile number.

Steps to check PM Kisan status on Know Your Status

1. Open the official PM Kisan portal by typing pmkisan.gov.in yourself in the browser. Do not open links forwarded on WhatsApp.
2. On the homepage, find the farmers section and open "Know Your Status".
3. Enter your Registration Number.
4. Type the captcha letters shown in the "Capcha" box.
5. Click "Get OTP". An OTP arrives on your eKYC-registered mobile.
6. Enter the OTP and click "Get Details".
7. Read the result slowly: the seeding and eKYC lines first, then the installment-wise payment lines.

The OTP is only for you. Type it on the portal and nowhere else. No government officer, bank or helpline will ask you to read it out on a call.

Forgot your registration number? Use Know Your Registration No.

Many farmers registered years ago through a CSC or the village patwari and never noted the number. The portal has a separate link for this.

1. On the Know Your Status page, click the "Know Your Registration No." link.
2. Choose to search by mobile number or by Aadhaar.
3. Enter the number, fill the captcha and request the OTP.
4. Enter the OTP. Your registration number is shown on screen.
5. Write it in your diary and keep a photo of it. You will need it every time you check your status.

If no registration number comes up, you may not be registered at all, or your registration was done under a different mobile number. Read our PM Kisan registration guide before applying again, because duplicate applications only add delay.

How to read your status result

The PM Kisan eKYC note and a Lok Sabha answer of 4 February 2025 say three things must be in place before money is paid. On the status page each one shows as Yes or No.

Only when all three are Yes can an installment be paid. The official eKYC note says a fresh eKYC shows in the status only after 24 hours, so do not repeat it on the same day.

The installment lines below the three checks

Under the Yes or No lines you will see a message for each kist, such as "FTO Generated", "RFT Signed by State" or "Payment Success". These words come from the government payment system. Their meanings are explained by guides and news reports but are not officially defined on the portal, so we explain them, with a full table and the fix for each, on our payment not received page.

A quick rule of thumb: if the latest line says the payment succeeded, the money has been released and your bank should show it. If it says the payment failed, the problem is usually with the bank account, and the amount can be processed again once it is fixed.

What to do after you check

• All three Yes, money received: nothing to do. Keep your eKYC mobile number active.
• All three Yes, but no money for the newest kist: first see whether that kist has been released at all. The 23rd installment was released on 20 June 2026 at Tarakeswar in Hooghly, West Bengal, to about 9.44 crore farmers (PIB, 20 June 2026). The 24th belongs to the August to November 2026 period, and Business Standard reported on 13 October 2026 that no official date had been announced. Track it on our installment dates page.
• Any line says No: fix that line first. Nothing else will help until it turns Yes.
• Payment held back: the portal homepage says benefits are temporarily withheld in suspected exclusion cases (for example land acquired after 1 February 2019, or more than one family member taking the benefit) until physical verification.
• Still stuck: use the grievance and helpline routes on our PM Kisan helpline page.

Old Beneficiary Status method versus the new one

Older videos and articles still show a "Beneficiary Status" search where you typed your Aadhaar, account number or mobile number and pressed a button to get data. That method has been replaced. The Know Your Status page on pmkisan.gov.in (last updated 17 February 2026 when we read it) works only with the registration number and an OTP sent to your eKYC mobile. If a website still offers an "Aadhaar only" status search, it is not the official portal. Close it.

Stay safe while checking status

Fake PM Kisan sites and agents are common around every kist. Use only addresses ending in .gov.in, such as pmkisan.gov.in. Never pay anyone to "release" your installment, never share an OTP over the phone, and never send your Aadhaar or registration number by WhatsApp or SMS to anybody. Enter them only on the official PM Kisan portal. For a quick overview of the whole scheme, see our PM Kisan Yojana explainer.
