Here’s good news for millions of Indian farmers awaiting their next financial aid — the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana may be released soon. This flagship scheme of the Government of India continues to provide much-needed financial support to small and marginal farmers across the country.
Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts. The government has already released 19 installments to date, benefitting crores of farmers nationwide.
According to recent media reports, the 20th installment could be credited to beneficiary accounts in June 2025, although an official announcement of the exact disbursal date is still awaited.
Important Actions Required for Farmers
To ensure seamless receipt of the next installment, beneficiaries must complete several key tasks as soon as possible:
1. Complete e-KYC
Farmers who have not yet completed their e-KYC will not receive the 20th installment. The government has made e-KYC mandatory to curb fraudulent claims and ensure that genuine farmers benefit from the scheme.
You can complete your e-KYC online via the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) or visit your nearest CSC (Common Service Centre).
2. Verify Land Records
Many cases of payment delays are linked to pending land verification. Farmers who have not yet completed land verification may also face delays in receiving their installment. It is essential to update and verify your land records with the relevant local authorities.
3. Correct Errors in Registration
If there were any errors or discrepancies in your registration details (such as name mismatch, incorrect Aadhaar number, or wrong bank account number), your payment might get withheld. Rectifying these errors at the earliest is important.
4. Link Aadhaar with Bank Account
Another crucial step is ensuring that your Aadhaar number is linked with your bank account. Without this linkage, the installment may not be credited successfully.
How to Check Your PM Kisan Yojana Status
Farmers can easily check the status of their installment by visiting the official PM Kisan website (pmkisan.gov.in):
-
Click on “Beneficiary Status” on the homepage.
-
Enter your Aadhaar number, bank account number, or mobile number.
-
The portal will display the current status of your installments.
Conclusion
As the 20th installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana draws closer, farmers should promptly complete the above tasks to ensure timely credit of funds. The scheme continues to be a lifeline for crores of farmers across the country, and proactive action will help avoid unnecessary delays.
