PM Kisan 20th Installment 2025: The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is expected to be credited to farmers' bank accounts in June 2025. Under this central government program, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 19th installment of the PM-KISAN scheme on February 24, 2025, benefiting over 9.8 crore farmers across India with financial assistance exceeding Rs 22,000 crore through DBT. Now, farmers eagerly await the 20th installment, which is expected to be disbursed in June 2025.
To ensure a smooth transfer of the 20th installment, farmers are strongly advised to link their Aadhaar numbers to their bank accounts. Without this linkage, payments may be delayed or even withheld, as Aadhaar seeding has been made mandatory for DBT authentication.
Why Linking Aadhaar is Important
Linking Aadhaar with a bank account helps the government verify the identity of beneficiaries and ensures that the right person receives the benefit directly. It reduces fraud, duplication, and payment errors. Most importantly, it prevents farmers from missing out on their Rs 2,000 installment due to technical or verification issues.
PM Kisan 20th Installment 2025: Step-by-Step Guide to Link Aadhaar with Bank Account
Here are simple steps farmers can follow to link their Aadhaar number to their bank account:
-
Visit Your Bank Branch: Go to the nearest branch of the bank where your PM-KISAN amount is usually credited.
-
Carry Required Documents: Take a self-attested copy of your Aadhaar card and your bank passbook. Also, carry the originals for verification.
-
Fill Aadhaar Linking Form: Ask the bank staff for an Aadhaar linking or seeding form. Fill in the details and submit it along with your documents.
-
Biometric Verification (if needed): Some banks may require biometric verification using your Aadhaar for additional security.
-
Receive Confirmation: After processing, the bank will confirm the successful linking via SMS or printed acknowledgment.
Alternatively, Aadhaar linking can also be done through ATM (for some banks), online net banking, or mobile banking apps, depending on the bank’s facilities.
With the 20th installment just around the corner, now is the perfect time for farmers to ensure their Aadhaar is properly linked to their bank accounts. By completing this step now, they can avoid last-minute hassles and ensure the timely receipt of the Rs 2,000 installment under the PM-KISAN scheme.
