The 21st installment of the PM-KISAN (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana) could be released any day now, with sources hinting that it could come in the first half of November. Though the government has not yet officially said the exact date, it seems that the final preparations are almost done.

Through this central government scheme, millions of farmers from all over India are getting an annual payment of Rs. 6,000 which is a form of direct financial assistance, paid in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 each directly into their bank accounts. With the upcoming 21st installment, the farmers that are eligible are happily waiting for the next credit to be made.

To get the upcoming Rs 2,000 installment without any delay, farmers should carry out the following actions immediately:

Farmers who still have not updated these details have to be quick so as not to miss the next payment. They are allowed to visit the official PM-KISAN portal (https://pmkisan.gov.in) to check their beneficiary status, payment history, and e-KYC completion.

Sources have indicated that the 21st installment will be transferred in the first week of November 2025, henceforth maintaining the continual financial backing that the scheme has been providing so far.

Applicants are recommended to closely monitor the official PM-KISAN website as well as the announcements made by local agriculture departments to be aware of the most recent updates regarding the release of payments and the requirements for verification.

Farmers can also complete e-KYC by visiting their nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or through the PM-KISAN online portal using their Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

The farmer has to get NPCI done on his/her account. To link NPCI, you can contact your nearest bank branch with your bank passbook and Aadhaar card.
