Great news for farmers enrolled in the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana! The 20th installment of this government-backed income support scheme is expected to be released soon. If you’re one of the over 9.8 crore beneficiaries eagerly awaiting your next ₹2000 transfer, here’s everything you need to know—whether you’re already enrolled or planning to apply.

When Was the Last PM Kisan Installment Released?

The 19th installment under the PM Kisan Yojana was officially disbursed on February 24, 2025, during a special government event in Bihar. With over two months gone since the last payout, anticipation is building for the next ₹2000 installment, which is part of the ₹6000 annual support given to eligible farmers across India.

Who Will Get the 20th Installment of PM Kisan Yojana?

The PM Kisan Yojana is designed specifically to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. Each year, farmers receive ₹6000 in three equal installments of ₹2000, delivered every four months. To receive the upcoming 20th installment:

• You must be registered under the scheme.

• Your name must appear in the official beneficiary list.

• You should fulfill all eligibility requirements, such as land ownership and correct documentation.

Farmers who meet these conditions will automatically receive the amount in their linked bank accounts.

How Much Will Be Disbursed in the 20th Installment?

For the 19th installment, the Central Government allocated ₹22,000 crore to eligible farmers. Given the continuous rise in new registrations, the 20th installment might see an even higher allocation. This means that new applicants who have recently registered and been approved may also receive their first installment this time.
