PM-KISAN 20th Installment 2025: The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme was officially released on August 2, 2025, from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, with Rs 20,500 crore transferred directly to the bank accounts of over 9 crore eligible farmers across the country. While many have confirmed receiving Rs 2,000 payment, several farmers are still reporting delays or non-receipt.
If you're one of those who haven’t received the PM-KISAN 20th installment, don’t panic. There could be several reasons for the delay, and in most cases, these issues can be resolved with a few simple steps.
What Is PM-KISAN?
PM-KISAN Yojana, launched in February 2019, provides Rs 6,000 annually to eligible landholding farmers, disbursed in three installments of Rs 2,000 each through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Over 11 crore farmers have benefited from the scheme since its inception, aimed at improving agricultural investment and providing financial support to small and marginal farmers.
First, Confirm Your Payment Status
Before taking any further action, you should first check whether the payment was initiated for your account. Here's how:
-
Visit the official PM-KISAN portal: https://pmkisan.gov.in
-
Click on ‘Beneficiary Status’ under the Farmers Corner
-
Enter your Aadhaar number, account number, or mobile number
-
Click on ‘Get Data’ to see the status of your last payment
If the status says ‘Payment Success’ but no amount has reached your bank, wait for 1–2 working days as some banks may take time to reflect the credit. If it says ‘Payment Failed’ or ‘Pending’, follow the next steps.
Why Your Rs 2,000 Might Not Have Been Credited
Here are the most common reasons why some farmers didn’t receive their PM-KISAN installment even though it has been officially released:
1. e-KYC Not Completed: e-KYC is mandatory under the PM-KISAN scheme. Without completing this process, your name may have been removed from the active beneficiary list.
2. Aadhaar Not Linked with Bank Account: The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) fails if your Aadhaar is not properly linked to your bank account.
3. Wrong Bank Account Details: An incorrect IFSC code, closed/inactive account, or mismatch in name spelling can stop your payment.
4. Land Record Issues: If your land documents are under verification or mismatched with your Aadhaar data, the payment may be held.
