The Government of India for the first time has implemented Aadhaar-based payments to ensure that only genuine farmers registered on the P-PAS (Paddy Procurement Automation System) Portal receive payment directly into their bank accounts.
Less than one percent of the total payment transactions have been identified as failed cases, primarily due to account freeze, Aadhaar de-seeding, KYC Pending, bank accounts reaching the maximum transaction limit, etc.
All such failed cases have been identified, and the concerned farmers are being contacted directly from OSCSC Headquarters on their registered mobile numbers and advised to visit their respective bank branches to undertake necessary corrections.
The paddy procurement has commenced in 18 districts of the state during this Kharif season. A total of 2,71,318 number of farmers have been able to sell paddy at their nearest Mandis.
At the district level, the DRCS offices is also contacting such farmers to facilitate timely rectification of bank details and ensure prompt payment.
In this regard, farmers are informed to update their KYC details at the earliest. For any clarification or assistance, they may contact OSCSC Headquarters in person or by dialling the toll-free helpline number 1967.
