If you are a beneficiary of the M-KISAN, then this update is important for you. The government is preparing to release the 20th instalment of PM-KISAN soon. The previous (19th) instalment was released on 24 February 2025, when nearly 9.8 crore farmers received financial aid totaling Rs 22,000 crore directly in their bank accounts. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming 20th instalment. Farmers are advised to complete a few important steps to ensure their next Rs 2,000 payment is not delayed. It is important to note that farmers will not receive the PM-KISAN 20th instalment if these mandatory steps are not completed.
When will the 20th Instalment Be Released?
Based on previous trends, the 20th instalment is likely to be credited in June 2025. According to media reports, the payment may be released in the first or second week of June, but the government has not issued any official confirmation yet. If your documents are complete and verified, you can expect the amount to be credited to your bank account on time.
What Is the PM-KISAN Yojana?
Launched in February 2019, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a government scheme aimed at supporting small and marginal farmers across India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually, divided into three instalments of Rs 2,000 each.
Payments are transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring the money reaches farmers' bank accounts directly, cutting out middlemen and reducing the risk of fraud. The scheme helps farmers cover expenses related to seeds, fertilizers, and other farming essentials.
If you’re a new applicant or haven’t received PM-KISAN payments before, you can still register. A special verification drive is being conducted in several states. Visit your nearest CSC (Common Service Centre) or agriculture office for help with registration.
Why Some Farmers May Not Receive the 20th Instalment
Here are the most common reasons for non-payment:
-
e-KYC not completed
-
Aadhaar not linked with bank account
-
Incorrect bank account details
-
Mismatch in land records
-
Inactive or closed bank account
Fixing these issues as soon as possible is important to avoid missing the next instalment.
Steps to Avoid Payment Delays
To ensure timely payment of your PM-KISAN instalment, make sure the following are completed:
1. Complete e-KYC
Without e-KYC, your name may be removed from the beneficiary list. You can complete it:
-
Online at pmkisan.gov.in
-
At your nearest CSC using biometric verification
2. Link Aadhaar with Bank Account
Your Aadhaar must be linked with your bank account to receive DBT payments. If unsure, check with your bank and update the linkage if needed.
3. Verify Land Ownership Records
Your land records are verified by local authorities. Make sure they are updated and match your application details to avoid rejection.
