Farmers across the nation are awaiting the 20th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. While the exact date of disbursement is yet to be announced, it is anticipated that the next ₹2,000 installment will be released in July 2025. This scheme provides financial assistance to eligible farmers, with installments disbursed every four months. The previous installment, the 19th, was transferred in February 2025. To ensure seamless receipt of the upcoming installment, farmers must take several crucial steps. These include completing e-KYC, linking their Aadhaar with their bank accounts, verifying the accuracy of bank details, updating land records, ensuring their mobile number is active and correct, and confirming their name is on the beneficiary list. Any errors in address or land-related information could render a farmer ineligible. Farmers can update their address details on the PM-Kisan website or seek assistance from a Common Service Center (CSC). The website address is https://pmkisan.gov.in. E-KYC is a mandatory requirement for receiving payments and can be completed through OTP, biometric verification, or face authentication. Farmers can check their installment status on the PM-Kisan website by entering their Aadhaar or registration number. Eligibility criteria include Indian citizenship, ownership of cultivable land, and being a small or marginal farmer. Those receiving a pension of ₹10,000 or more, paying income tax, or possessing institutional land are not eligible. New farmers can apply through the website as well.
