Error / Problem	Solution
Land Seeding: NO	Your land records are not digitally mapped to your PM Kisan ID. Action: Visit your local Patwari/Tehsildar (Revenue Dept) with your physical land documents and Aadhaar to update the seeding manually.
Aadhaar Bank Seeding: NO	Your bank account is not linked to Aadhaar for DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). Action: Visit your bank branch and submit a “DBT Linking Form” specifically for PM Kisan/NPCI mapping. Or, open a new account with India Post Payment Bank (IPPB) which links DBT automatically within 48 hours.
e-KYC: NO	You cannot receive funds without e-KYC. Action: Go to the portal > Click ‘e-KYC’ > Enter Aadhaar > OTP. Alternatively, use the PM Kisan GOI App for Face Authentication e-KYC.
Record Not Found	Your application might still be pending at the state level. Action: Check status under ‘Status of Self Registered Farmer/CSC Farmers’ on the portal. If pending for months, visit the Block Agriculture Office.
Stop Payment by State	Usually due to ineligibility (Income Tax payer or wrong land info). Action: Contact the District Agriculture Officer to understand the specific reason for rejection.
