The 21st installment of PM Kisan is set to be transferred on November 19, 2025, at 2 pm. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare announced this on their social media platform, stating that 9 crore farmers will receive Rs 2000 directly into their accounts. Notably, farmers in Jammu-Kashmir have already received their 21st installment, with 8.5 lakh farmers getting Rs 170 crore transferred on October 7, 2025, as relief due to floods.
