PM Kisan 19th Installment Date 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to release the 19th instalment of PM Kisan Saman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) tomorrow, Monday 24. The amount worth Rs 22,000 crore will be directly credited to farmers’ accounts via the DBT (Direct Beneficiary Transfer) scheme.
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced on Friday that the Prime Minister will release the 19th instalment of PM-KISAN on 24 February in Bhagalpur, Bihar. The funds, totalling Rs 22,000 crore, will be directly deposited into the bank accounts of 9.8 crore eligible farmers.
The 18th instalment of the PM Kisan scheme was released in October 2025, in which a total of 9.4 crore farmers received Rs 20,000 crore in their bank accounts.
What is the PM Kisan Scheme?
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 2,000 every four months, which is Rs 6,000 a year. The money, which is directly transferred to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, is provided each year in three instalments — April-July, August-November and December-March.
The scheme was announced in the Interim Budget 2019 by the 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.
