PM Kisan self-registration correction and updates

Mistakes in a PM-KISAN record — a misspelled name, a wrong bank account number, an old mobile number or missing details — can stop your installments. The PM-KISAN portal has several options in its Farmers Corner that let you fix some of these yourself. Other changes, especially anything to do with land, can be made only by state officials after verification.

The corrections table lists each option with what it is for and who approves the change.

Which corrections you can make yourself

All of these start from the Farmers Corner on the official home page at pmkisan.gov.in. Enter your details only on that website or in the official PM-KISAN app.

Edit or update a self-registration

If you registered yourself online or through a CSC and spotted a mistake, use Edit / Update Self Registration. You can look up your application and correct details you entered. After you save, the corrected application goes back to the state for verification, so approval may take a little longer.

You can follow the progress of a self-registered application on Status of Self Registered Farmer / CSC Farmers.

If you made the registration through a village official instead of online, ask the same office to correct it.

Update missing information

Some older records were uploaded by states without every detail now required. The portal’s Update Missing Information option lets a beneficiary fill in details the record is missing. If your status page or your nodal officer tells you that information is missing, use this option. The updated record is verified before it takes effect.

Update mobile number

Your PM-KISAN registered mobile number is used to log in to the app, receive OTPs for some services, and get payment messages. If it has changed, use Update Mobile Number on the portal.

Remember that two different mobile numbers matter:

• the number registered with PM-KISAN, used for the app login and scheme messages, and
• the number linked to your Aadhaar, used for Aadhaar OTPs such as OTP-based eKYC.

Updating one does not change the other. To change the Aadhaar-linked number, visit an Aadhaar enrolment or update centre.

Name correction as per Aadhaar

The official FAQ describes an option for farmers to edit their name themselves as per the details in their Aadhaar card. The edited name is updated after authentication through the system. Use this when your PM-KISAN name differs from your Aadhaar name in spelling or order.

If your Aadhaar itself has the wrong name, correct Aadhaar first at an Aadhaar centre. If your land record has a different name, that correction is made at the revenue office, not on PM-KISAN.

Bank account or IFSC changes

Payments go to the bank account seeded with your Aadhaar in the NPCI mapper. If you change banks:

1. Get the new account Aadhaar-seeded for DBT at the new bank. See Aadhaar-bank seeding.
2. If you are a self-registered farmer, correct the account details in your record through Edit / Update Self Registration where allowed, or ask your block nodal officer to update them.
3. Check your status after the change is approved.

A wrong IFSC code or a closed account causes a payment failure. Fix the account first, then the record.

State transfer request

If your family has moved and your land or residence is now in another state, the Farmers Corner lists a State Transfer Request option. The request is considered by the states involved. Keep proof of land in the new state ready, since PM-KISAN eligibility depends on land recorded in that state’s records.

What only state officials can change

• Land details — survey numbers, area, owner names on the land record
• Eligibility decisions — inclusion or exclusion after verification
• Withheld cases — those held for physical verification
• Records made by officials — registrations done by the patwari or agriculture office

For these, contact your block or district agriculture office. Find your point of contact through Search your Point of Contact, or raise a complaint on the Helpdesk – Query Form. Land problems are explained on the land seeding page.

If you have lost your registration number

Most correction options ask for your registration number. If you do not have it, the official Helpdesk – Query Form page includes a Know Your Registration Number option, which finds it using your registered details. New or still-pending registrations can use the temporary ID shown when you applied. You can also ask Kisan e-Mitra or call Bharati on 155261.

Corrections after a death in the family

When a beneficiary dies, the record cannot simply be edited to another person’s name online. The state reassesses the family’s eligibility. If the surviving spouse or minor children still hold cultivable land, their details and a fresh self-declaration are given to the state authorities so the benefit can continue for them. Adult heirs who now own land in their own names can be added as new families once the land record is mutated. Take the death certificate and the updated land record to the block agriculture office.

Address and category corrections

If your address, district or category (SC, ST or other) is wrong, check first whether the edit form for self-registered farmers lets you change it. If not, ask the block agriculture office. Changes that affect which state or district your record belongs to may need the State Transfer Request or a fresh verification, because states identify and verify beneficiaries in their own areas.

Before you submit any correction

Check your status first so you know exactly what is wrong. Gather the matching document — Aadhaar for names, passbook for bank details, land record for land. Make one careful correction, then wait for the state to verify it before trying anything else. If the correction is rejected, the reason shown tells you which document to fix.

Tips for a correction that goes through first time

• Use the exact spelling from your Aadhaar card, including initials and spaces.
• Check every digit of the bank account number and IFSC against your passbook.
• Upload clear copies when the form asks for documents.
• Write down any reference number shown after you submit.
• Do not submit the same correction again and again; repeated edits can restart verification.

Keep a record

Save screenshots or photos of each correction you submit, with the date and reference number. If you need to complain later, these records help the officer find your request quickly.
