PM Kisan 21st installment for farmers to be released soon; Jammu and Kashmir farmers already received funds. Check eligibility, e-KYC, and status updates.
PM Kisan 21st Installment Date
PM Kisan 21st Installment Date: Farmers are keenly awaiting the 21st installment of PM Kisan (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme) in their bank accounts. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to release the next installment in the first half of November, though there has been no official announcement on the date of release.
To offer support to farmers of Jammu and Kashmir following the devastating floods, the Centre has already disbursed the 21st installment of PM Kisan. According to the official notification, a total of Rs 170 crore was transferred to 8.5 lakh farmers of Jammu and Kashmir on October 07, 2025.
Now, farmers of other states are looking forward to receiving their Rs 2000, as part of next installment under PM Kisan scheme.
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers get Rs 2,000 every four months, which is Rs 6,000 annually. The money is provided each year in three instalments — April-July, August-November and December-March. The fund is directly transferred to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
The scheme was announced in the Interim Budget 2019 by then finance minister Piyush Goyal and was later launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It has now become the world’s biggest Direct Benefit Transfer scheme.
Farmers, however, need to register and update their e-KYC to be eligible for the next tranche in the scheme.
PM Kisan Scheme e-KYC
To receive the installments, the farmers need to complete their e-KYC. According to the scheme’s official website, “eKYC is MANDATORY for PMKISAN Registered Farmers. OTP-based eKYC is available on the PMKISAN Portal, or the nearest CSC centres may be contacted for Biometric-based eKYC”.
