What is the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?

The PM Kisan Yojana was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2019. Under this scheme, the government gives ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmers, which is transferred in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. The goal of the scheme is to provide income support to small and marginal farmers.

When Will the 20th Installment Come?

The 20th installment is expected in late June or early July 2025, though the government has not officially confirmed the exact date. Earlier this year, in February 2025, the 19th installment was released, where about ₹22,000 crore was credited to the bank accounts of 9.8 crore farmers.

So, if we follow the past pattern, farmers should be receiving the next installment soon. However, e-KYC is now compulsory to receive this payment.

Why is e-KYC Important for PM Kisan Yojana?

To avoid fraud and ensure that the benefit goes directly to the rightful farmer, the government has made e-KYC mandatory. It helps link your Aadhaar number directly with your PM Kisan account. If e-KYC is not completed, your installment may get delayed or even rejected.
