PM Kisan 23rd Installment 2026 Date OUT: When Will Farmers Get Rs 2,000? Eligibility, Beneficiary Status, More

The government has announced the date for releasing the 23rd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme. Eligible farmers will get the Rs 2,000 installment directly in their bank account. From the 23rd installment, more than 9 crore farmers, including women, are expected to benefit. PM Kisan scheme is aimed in offering financial support to farmers with three installments of Rs 2,000 each every year. However, it is important to note that there are certain eligibility criteria that farmers need to meet for receiving the funds.

PM Kisan 23rd Installment Date:

The 23rd installment will be delivered on June 20, 2026, directly to farmers bank accounts under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism.

Under PM Kisan yojana, eligible farmers get Rs 2,000 each after a four-monthly gap and in total the benefit comes to around Rs 6,000 per year. The installment cycle is between April to July, August to November, and December to March.

Hence, the 23rd installment is for April to July cycle in 2026. Notably, the PM Kisan yojana scheme is implemented through Aadhaar-based authentication and digitised land records, ensuring transparent and efficient direct benefit transfer to verified beneficiaries.

Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi transferred the 22nd installment of PM Kisan on March 13th, 2026, for the period of the December 2025 to March 2026 cycle. The government released a total of Rs 18,640 crore under the 22nd installment, which benefited approximately 9.32 crore farmers. Of the total, 2.15 crore beneficiaries were women.

Approximately Rs 4.27 lakh crore has been released so far since PM Kisan was introduced on February 24, 2019.

That being said, farmers are requested to check their eligibility status on Know Your Status (KYS) of PM KISAN website/ mobile app or Kisan eMitra chatbot for further details.
