PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
PM Kisan 20th Installment Date: Over 11 crore farmers across the country are awaiting the upcoming 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme. Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 per year in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 and the money is directly transferred to the beneficiary’s bank account every four months.
However, the release of the 20th installment appears to be facing delay, as no official announcement has been made yet regarding the next tranche. The 20th installment is now expected in the last week of June or early July 2025.
If you’re a PM Kisan beneficiary, it’s crucial to complete certain mandatory formalities in time to ensure your payment is not withheld.
Here are the four key things you must check and fix to avoid delays in receiving your Rs 2,000 installment:
1. Link Aadhaar with Your Bank Account
The government disburses the PM Kisan amount through the Aadhaar-seeded Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. Make sure your bank account is correctly linked to your Aadhaar number. If not, visit your bank or update it online to avoid payment failure.
2. Complete Your e-KYC
e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. Without it, your name may be dropped from the beneficiary list.
You can complete e-KYC in three simple ways:
OTP-Based e-KYC: If your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile number, visit PM Kisan’s website and verify using the OTP.
Biometric e-KYC: Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) for fingerprint authentication.
Facial Authentication: A special facility for senior citizens and physically challenged farmers is now available at CSCs, allowing e-KYC through facial recognition.
As per the scheme’s official website, “eKYC is MANDATORY for PMKISAN Registered Farmers.”
3. Get Your Land Records Verified
Eligibility for PM-KISAN is based on land ownership. If your land documents are not updated or not verified with the state revenue department, your application may be rejected or the next installment may be withheld.
Many states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan have launched farmer registry and land verification drives. Ensure your land records are digitised and linked with your Aadhaar and PM Kisan ID.
4. Check Your Application Status Online
You can check whether your application is approved, rejected, or pending by visiting the official PM Kisan portal:
Go to pmkisan.gov.in
Click on ‘Know Your Status’ or ‘Beneficiary Status’
Enter your Aadhaar number, registration number, or mobile number
It’s also advisable to check the bank account details mentioned in your profile to correct any errors in name spelling, IFSC code, or account number.
