The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one of the most beneficial schemes for Indian farmers. Under this scheme, the government provides financial assistance of ₹6,000 per year, given in three installments of ₹2,000 each. So far, 19 installments have been issued, and farmers are now eagerly waiting for the 20th installment.
When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?
The 19th installment was released on February 24, 2025. According to media reports, the 20th installment of ₹2,000 may be released in the first week of June 2025. However, the government has not yet made any official announcement regarding the date.
Important Steps to Receive the Next Installment
To receive the next installment, farmers must ensure they have completed some important tasks. The government will transfer the money only to those farmers who meet the required conditions.
1. Complete e-KYC
The government has made e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) mandatory for all farmers registered under the scheme. Without e-KYC, the installment may be delayed or not credited to your account.
2. Land Verification
Farmers must also complete land verification to confirm they own agricultural land. If this process is not done, the installment money may be put on hold.
3. Link Aadhar with Bank Account
To receive payments directly in their bank accounts, farmers must link their Aadhar card with their bank account number. If this is not done, the transaction may fail.
