The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana, a flagship income support scheme for Indian farmers, is likely to release its 20th instalment by June 2025. Since its inception in February 2019, the scheme has served as a vital financial lifeline for small and marginal farmers across the country.

PM-KISAN offers eligible farmer families ₹6,000 per year, disbursed in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 every four months through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This ensures timely and transparent support directly into farmers’ bank accounts.

Who Is Eligible for PM-KISAN?

The scheme is intended for landholding farmer families across India. A “family” under PM-KISAN includes the husband, wife, and minor children who jointly own cultivable land, as per land records maintained by the respective state or Union Territory.

However, certain groups are excluded, such as:

  • Institutional landholders.
  • Former and present holders of constitutional posts.
  • Serving or retired government employees (except for Group D/multi-tasking staff).
  • Income taxpayers in the previous assessment year.
  • Professionals such as doctors, engineers, and lawyers registered with professional bodies.

Farmers must also ensure that their land records are verified and that their bank accounts are linked with Aadhaar.

How to Check If You’re Eligible

To check whether you are eligible and if your name is listed for the 20th instalment:

  • Go to the “Farmers Corner” section.
  • Click on “Know Your Status”.
  • Enter your Aadhaar number, mobile number, bank account, or application ID.
  • Click “Get Data” to view your beneficiary status.

19th Instalment Summary: Key Figures and Impact

In February 2025, the government released the 19th instalment, disbursing over ₹22,000 crore to 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.41 crore women beneficiaries. As the 20th instalment approaches, farmers are being urged to ensure their details are up to date on the PM-KISAN portal to avoid delays in payment.
