PM Kisan Yojana: Farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme, which is expected to reach their accounts before Diwali. Each eligible farmer will receive ₹2,000 per installment, and nearly 10 crore farmers are set to benefit from this latest tranche.
The government is likely to announce the exact date soon, aiming to provide timely financial support to farmers during the festive season, between Navratri and Diwali. So far, 20 installments have already been credited under the scheme, and the 21st installment is expected to continue the same pattern.
e-KYC Essential for Receiving 21st Installment
Farmers who have not yet completed e-KYC verification may face delays in receiving their 21st installment. To ensure the money is credited without interruption, beneficiaries must complete their Aadhaar-based e-KYC and ensure their Aadhaar is linked to their bank account, as payments are processed directly through this route.
How to Check PM Kisan 21st Installment Status
Farmers can easily check their beneficiary status online through the official PM-Kisan portal by following these steps:
- Visit the official portal: https://pmkisan.gov.in/rpt_beneficiarystatus_pub.aspx.
- Select a search option: Aadhaar number, bank account number, or mobile number.
- Enter the required details:
- Aadhaar: 12-digit Aadhaar number
- Bank account: Linked account number
- Mobile: Registered mobile number
- Fill in the captcha code as displayed.
- Click ‘Get Data’ to view the status.
The portal will display:
- Farmer’s name and father/husband’s name
- State, district, and village
- Payment status and installment details
- Aadhaar verification status
This step helps farmers confirm whether their name is listed as a beneficiary and ensures they receive the 21st installment without any issues.
Officials urge all eligible farmers to complete e-KYC as soon as possible to avoid delays and make the most of this government assistance.
