PM-KISAN 20th Installment 2025: The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is expected to be released by June 2025, providing essential Rs 2,000 support to eligible farmers across India. But here’s the catch—if you miss out on some key steps, the money might not reach your account.
To ensure that you receive your next installment without any issues, here are five crucial actions every beneficiary must take right now. Skipping any of these steps could result in losing your spot on the list and, consequently, the payment.
What is PM-Kisan Yojana?
Launched in February 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme provides Rs 6,000 annually to eligible landholding farmers across India. The amount is given in three installments of Rs 2,000 each and is directly transferred to farmers' bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This ensures full transparency and eliminates middlemen. The scheme aims to help farmers cover basic agricultural needs like seeds, fertilizers, and other essentials. It has become a crucial support system for millions of farmers nationwide.
Top 5 Things to Do to Receive Your Rs 2,000 Installment on Time
1. Complete Your e-KYC Without Delay
This is the most important step. If your e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is not updated, your name could be removed from the PM-KISAN beneficiary list. You can do it online at the official PM-KISAN portal or by visiting your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC).
If your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile, you can complete e-KYC with an OTP. If not, the CSC will help you with a biometric e-KYC.
2. Check If Your Name Is on the Beneficiary List
Don't assume you’re on the list, check it yourself. Go to the PM-KISAN website, click on ‘Farmers Corner’, and then choose ‘Beneficiary List’. Enter your state, district, block, and village to find your name. If your name is missing, act immediately.
3. Make Sure Your Aadhaar Is Linked to Your Bank Account
Without Aadhaar-bank linking, the government can’t send the money directly to your account. Visit your bank and confirm that your Aadhaar number is correctly linked with your active bank account. This ensures Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) without any issues.
4. Update Your Land Records
This one often gets overlooked. The PM-KISAN scheme is meant for farmers who own cultivable land. If your land documents are outdated or incorrect, you might be considered ineligible. Visit your local land records office and ensure your name and details are accurate.
5. Track Your Payment Status Regularly
Even after doing everything right, technical issues can cause delays. So, keep an eye on your payment status on the PM-KISAN portal. Just enter your Aadhaar number or account number under the ‘Beneficiary Status’ section to see if your installment has been credited.
The PM-KISAN scheme is a lifeline for over 11 crore farmers in India. But to get the full benefit, farmers need to stay proactive. By following these five simple steps, you can ensure that the Rs 2,000 installment reaches your bank account—on time, every time.
