PM Kisan Yojana : The Central Government provides several types of benefits to farmers under various welfare schemes. Now, farmers receiving assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) Yojana are set to get double benefits. Earlier, the government used to transfer ₹2,000 as each installment to farmers’ bank accounts. However, now farmers will receive ₹4,000. Yes, if you are a farmer, you will get the money again under the PM Kisan Yojana.
Under this scheme, the government provides ₹6,000 in annual financial assistance to eligible farmers in three equal installments. This initiative aims to support farmers financially and help double their income across the country.
21st Installment to Be Released Soon
Farmers who had not completed their verification process earlier and have now done so will soon receive their pending payments. Those who did not receive the 20th installment earlier will now get ₹4,000, as both the 20th and 21st installments will be credited together.
The government has already transferred up to the 13th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana, and now farmers are eagerly waiting for the 21st installment. Those who missed out on the 20th installment will get two installments at once in the upcoming payment cycle.
When Will the 21st Installment Be Credited?
The 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is expected to be released between April and July. Last year, the 18th installment was transferred on October 5, 2025. However, this time, the 21st installment is likely to be credited earlier than usual.
Ineligible Farmers Being Removed from the Scheme
Due to increasing irregularities in the PM Kisan scheme, the government has removed around 1.86 million ineligible farmers from the beneficiary list. This number is expected to rise further as the government has made KYC (Know Your Customer) and land record verification mandatory for all beneficiaries.
The move aims to ensure that only genuine and eligible farmers continue to receive financial benefits under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.
In Summary:
Farmers under the PM Kisan Yojana are now set to receive double the benefit, with the upcoming 21st installment likely to include pending payments. Eligible farmers who complete their verification on time will soon have ₹4,000 credited to their bank accounts. Meanwhile, the government continues to take strict action to eliminate ineligible beneficiaries and ensure transparency in the scheme.
