PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana : A large number of people in India still struggle with financial challenges, and to support them, both the central and state governments run various welfare schemes. One of the most popular and beneficial initiatives for farmers is the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana, launched by the Government of India. This scheme specifically targets economically weaker farmers and provides direct financial assistance to support their livelihood.
Under PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers receive ₹2,000 in every installment, with three installments released each year. So far, the government has successfully distributed 20 installments, and now, the 21st installment is expected to be released soon. However, farmers must complete certain mandatory steps to ensure they receive the benefit without interruption.
When Will the 21st Installment Be Released?
The installments under the scheme are released approximately every four months. Based on the timeline of previous payments, the 21st installment is likely to be credited in November 2025. While the exact date has not yet been officially announced, farmers should be prepared and ensure their documents are in order to avoid any delays in receiving their money.
Two Important Requirements for Farmers
To receive the upcoming installment, farmers must complete two key formalities. The first and most important is e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer verification). Without completing this step, the installment may get withheld. The e-KYC ensures that the financial benefit reaches the rightful beneficiary and helps prevent misuse of funds. Farmers are therefore strongly advised to complete this process on time.
The second requirement involves verifying land ownership records and linking Aadhaar details with the scheme. This step ensures transparency and confirms that the applicant is a genuine farmer eligible under PM-Kisan.
Key Takeaway
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues to be a lifeline for small and marginal farmers across the country. With the 21st installment due around November, completing e-KYC and updating necessary records is crucial. Farmers who fail to do so may miss out on the financial support that has been helping millions improve their livelihoods.
