Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana continues to provide financial support to eligible farmers across India. Under this scheme, farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each, credited directly to their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). As of August 2025, the 20th instalment has been successfully disbursed, and farmers are now eagerly awaiting the 21st instalment.
According to media reports, the 21st instalment is expected to be credited in October or November 2025. While the government has not officially announced the exact date, this timeline is consistent with previous years’ patterns. Farmers are advised to regularly check the official PM-Kisan portal and ensure their bank accounts are linked with Aadhaar to facilitate smooth transactions.
To ensure timely receipt of the 21st instalment, farmers are encouraged to complete their e-KYC and verify their details on the PM-Kisan portal. This proactive step helps identify and correct any discrepancies, avoiding delays in crediting payments.
