OTP-based KYC: A government program called Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) offers financial assistance to all Indian farmer families who own cultivable land. The government provides a PM Kisan subsidy in 15 installments, with the 16th expected in February or March 2024, transferring Rs 6,000 annually to Aadhaar-seeding bank accounts.

Nonetheless, qualified farmers must finish their KYC (know your customer) process to be eligible for subsidies under the government’s PM Kisan program. Farmers who fail to do this will not be eligible for the next PM Kisan installment, even if they meet all other requirements.

OPT: What is it?

The acronym for One-Time Password is OTP. Websites employ multi-step authentication to protect users when providing online services. To access his account, a user using multi-factor authentication must complete several authentication stages. The system prompts users to provide additional data for an extra level of security, in addition to their username and password. This makes it more difficult for an attacker to pretend to be a genuine user. This additional layer of security is provided via an OTP sent to the user’s email address or mobile number.
