PM Kisan 21st Installment Date: Will Rs. 2000 Reach Farmers Before Diwali 2025? All You Need To Know

The 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana is expected to be released in October or November 2025, although the government has not yet made an official announcement regarding the exact date. Historically, the installments under this scheme are released approximately after every four months. The PM Kisan 20th installment was credited to farmers' accounts on August 2 this year, where over 9.7 crore farmers across the country received direct financial assistance of approximately Rs. 20,500 crore.

What is PM KISAN?

PM Kisan, officially known as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), is a government scheme launched in December 2019 by the Government of India to provide direct income support to small and marginal farmer families across the country. Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive Rs. 6,000 per year, which is paid in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 every four months directly into farmers' bank accounts through direct benefit transfer (DBT). The scheme currently covers approximately 120 million farmers nationwide. Since the launch of the scheme in 2019, more than Rs. 3.69 lakh crore has been transferred to farmers' accounts, as per PIB data.

How Farmers Can Ensure Timely Receipt of the 21st Installment

To avoid delays in receiving the 21st instalment, farmers must ensure the following:

Completed e-KYC: Farmers should verify that their e-KYC is completed.

Aadhaar-Bank Account Linkage: Aadhaar must be correctly linked with the bank account registered for PM Kisan payments.

By completing these compliance steps, farmers can ensure smooth crediting of the installment directly to their accounts.
