When the kist does not come, most farmers first want a phone number. This page lists every PM Kisan helpline number and email we could trace to a source, and is honest about how sure we are of each one. KisanRi Guide is an independent guide, not a government office: we cannot see your record or fix it for you. The people at these numbers and the official portal can.
Before you call, open Know Your Status on the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) and note what it says. Our status check guide shows how.
PM Kisan helpline and toll-free numbers
| Number or email | What it is | How sure we are |
|---|---|---|
| 155261 | PM Kisan helpline (24x7 IVRS) | Confirmed: listed in a PIB document of 24 Feb 2020, and still given by news reports in June 2026 |
| 1800-115-526 | PM Kisan toll-free line (PIB writes it 1800-11-5526) | Confirmed: same PIB document, 24 Feb 2020; repeated by Business Standard (Nov 2023) |
| 011-24300606 | PM Kisan landline | Reported by Business Standard (Nov 2023); not confirmed on the portal by us |
| 011-23381092 | PM Kisan landline | Reported by third-party guides in 2026; not officially confirmed |
| pmkisan-ict@gov.in | PM Kisan email (technical / portal issues) | Reported by Business Standard (Nov 2023); long cited |
| pmkisan-funds@gov.in | PM Kisan email (payment issues) | Reported by Business Standard (Nov 2023); long cited |
| 1800-180-1551 | Kisan Call Centre (farming advice) | Not a PM Kisan line. Amar Ujala (June 2026) listed it, but it is the Kisan Call Centre number |
We could not open the contact page of pmkisan.gov.in to re-confirm these numbers in October 2026, because the portal blocks automated checks. So treat the list as "as listed on pmkisan.gov.in, check before calling". 155261 is the safest first call. News reports of 2026 say the same number also reaches the new Bharat-VISTAAR (Bharati) AI advisory service, but this is reported, not officially confirmed.
Before you call: keep these ready
- Your PM Kisan registration number. If you have lost it, use "Know Your Registration No." on the portal with your mobile number or Aadhaar.
- The exact words shown in Know Your Status (for example eKYC: No, or Land Seeding: No).
- Which installment is missing, for example the 23rd (20 June 2026). The full list is on our installment dates page.
- Your bank name and branch.
Never tell your Aadhaar OTP, bank PIN or full card details to anyone on a call, even someone who says they are from PM Kisan. Official staff do not need your OTP to look up a complaint.
हिंदी में सारांश
पीएम किसान की मुख्य हेल्पलाइन 155261 है और टोल फ्री नंबर 1800-115-526 है। ये दोनों 24 फरवरी 2020 के PIB दस्तावेज़ में दर्ज हैं। 011-24300606 और ईमेल pmkisan-ict@gov.in तथा pmkisan-funds@gov.in समाचारों में बताए गए हैं, कॉल से पहले पुष्टि करें। 1800-180-1551 किसान कॉल सेंटर का नंबर है, पीएम किसान का नहीं। शिकायत पीएम किसान पोर्टल के शिकायत विकल्प या CPGRAMS पर करें; PIB के अनुसार दो सप्ताह में निपटारे का लक्ष्य है। किसान-ईमित्र चैटबॉट 11 भाषाओं में 24 घंटे मदद करता है। मोबाइल नंबर आधार से जोड़ने या बदलने के लिए इंडिया पोस्ट पेमेंट्स बैंक मदद कर सकता है। किसी को OTP न बताएं और एजेंट को पैसे न दें।
How to file a PM Kisan complaint (grievance)
PIB stated on 19 November 2025 that grievances go through the PM Kisan portal grievance module and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in), and are to be resolved on merit within two weeks. In 2024-25, 24,605 grievances were recorded on the portal.
- Open the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) and look for the grievance or help desk option.
- Enter your registration number, Aadhaar or mobile number as the form asks, and verify with the OTP sent to your own phone.
- Choose the problem type, for example payment not received, wrong name, or Aadhaar issue.
- Write a short, clear description: which installment, what your status shows.
- Submit and note the grievance number. Check its status after a few days.
- If nothing happens in two weeks, file on CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in) quoting the first grievance number, or visit your block or tehsil agriculture office.
The exact labels on the grievance page could not be confirmed by us, so follow what the screen shows. Farmers without a smartphone can go to a CSC or the state office at block or tehsil level, as PIB noted on 10 March 2026. Many payment complaints are really fixable status problems; see payment not received first.
Kisan-eMitra chatbot: help in your language
The PM Kisan homepage has a link "Need Help? Ask Kisan-eMitra PMKisan Chatbot". PIB describes Kisan-eMitra as an AI voice chatbot launched in September 2023, working 24x7 in 11 languages. By 15 July 2025 it had resolved more than 95 lakh queries from 53 lakh farmers. It is good for simple questions such as "my eKYC status" or "when was the last kist". It cannot change your bank or land record.
PM Kisan mobile number update
Your mobile number matters because OTPs go to it. The official Know Your Status page says the OTP is sent to your eKYC-registered mobile number, and the surrender pages send OTPs to your PM-KISAN registered mobile number.
- Guides list an "Update Mobile Number" option in the Farmers Corner of the portal. We could not confirm the current label, so look for it on the live site.
- If your Aadhaar is linked to an old number, OTP eKYC will fail. PIB (19 November 2025) says India Post Payments Bank can link or update the mobile number with Aadhaar.
- Biometric eKYC at a CSC does not need the mobile OTP. See PM Kisan eKYC.
Voluntary surrender and taking it back
A farmer who is no longer eligible, or who does not want the benefit, can give it up through the portal's voluntary surrender option. If you surrendered by mistake, the official portal has a page called "Surrender Revocation of PM-KISAN Benefits" and a page "Status of Surrender Revocation". Both send an OTP to your PM-KISAN registered mobile number. If you got money while ineligible, states recover it: PIB reported ₹416.75 crore recovered as of 2 December 2025. The rules on who is excluded are on our eligibility page.
Frequently asked questions
What is the PM Kisan toll free number?
The toll-free number is 1800-115-526 (PIB's 2020 document writes it as 1800-11-5526). The main helpline is 155261. Both appear in an official PIB document of 24 February 2020 and are still widely given in 2026. Call from your own phone and keep your registration number ready.
Is 1800-180-1551 the PM Kisan helpline?
No. 1800-180-1551 is the Kisan Call Centre number for farming advice. Some news reports list it next to PM Kisan numbers, but it is not PM Kisan specific. For PM Kisan payment or eKYC problems, call 155261 or 1800-115-526, or use the grievance option on pmkisan.gov.in.
How do I file a PM Kisan complaint online?
Use the grievance option on the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in), verify with OTP, describe the problem and save the grievance number. If it is not resolved in two weeks, file on CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in). PIB says grievances should be resolved on merit within two weeks.
What is the PM Kisan email ID?
Business Standard (November 2023) reported two email IDs: pmkisan-ict@gov.in and pmkisan-funds@gov.in. They are long cited, but we could not re-confirm them on the portal in October 2026. Write your registration number, state and the problem, and never attach your OTP or bank PIN.
How can I update my mobile number in PM Kisan?
Guides list an "Update Mobile Number" option in the Farmers Corner of pmkisan.gov.in, though we could not confirm the current label. If the Aadhaar-linked number is old, first update it with Aadhaar; PIB says India Post Payments Bank can link or update the mobile number with Aadhaar.
Can someone at the helpline release my stuck installment?
No helpline worker can simply release a kist. Payment needs land seeding, Aadhaar bank seeding and eKYC to be complete, and the state must approve your record. The helpline can tell you what is pending. Anyone who asks for money to "release" your installment is a fraud.
