The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana continues to be one of the most dependable income-support schemes for farmers across India. Under this programme, the government provides ₹6,000 every year, divided into three installments of ₹2,000 each, directly into the bank accounts of registered farmers.
In 2025, millions of farmers are eagerly waiting for the next installment, especially after the 21st installment was released recently.
Latest Update: 21st Installment Released
The 21st installment of PM Kisan was released on 19 November 2025, and farmers who had completed e-KYC and verification received ₹2,000 through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
If you did not receive the November installment, it may be due to incomplete KYC or incorrect bank details. You can check your exact status using the steps given below.
PM Kisan 22nd Installment – Expected Date
The government has not officially announced the next date yet.
However, based on the regular PM Kisan cycle, the 22nd installment is expected between February and March 2026.
Every year, installments are issued roughly every four months, and the next release will follow the same pattern unless the Agriculture Ministry updates the schedule.
PM Kisan Installment Cycle (Yearly Pattern)
Installment Expected Time
| Installment | Expected Time |
|---|---|
| 1st (April–July) | April – July |
| 2nd (August–November) | August – November |
| 3rd (December–March) | February – March |
This cycle helps farmers understand when money can be expected, and also gives time for verification and KYC updates.
