India’s farmers have been waiting with bated breath for the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana, a government-backed scheme that has become nothing short of a lifeline for small and marginal farmers. With over ₹6,000 distributed every year in three equal parts, this direct benefit transfer continues to support lakhs of families across the country. And now, the buzz around the next ₹2000 payout is growing louder than ever.
So, if you’re one of the beneficiaries wondering when the money will hit your account—or why it hasn’t yet—you’re in the right place.
💸 What Is PM Kisan and Why Is the 20th Installment a Big Deal?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a flagship scheme by the Government of India, aimed at giving direct financial support to farmers. Under this, ₹6,000 per year is transferred directly to eligible farmers’ bank accounts in three installments of ₹2,000 each.
So far, 19 installments have been successfully credited, and now the 20th installment is all set to roll out in July 2025. But here’s the catch—not everyone might receive it this time.
Some farmers could miss the benefit due to issues like incorrect Aadhaar details, unlinked mobile numbers, or incomplete registration. That’s why it’s crucial to check your status before you count on the money.
