The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana, India’s flagship income support scheme for farmers, is set to release its 20th instalment by May or June 2025. Launched in February 2019, the scheme reflects the government’s continued commitment to bolstering the agricultural sector and ensuring the welfare of small and marginal farmers.

Under PM-KISAN, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, disbursed in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 every four months through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Over ₹22,000 Crore Disbursed in 19th Instalment

In February 2025, the government successfully distributed the 19th instalment, benefiting over 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.41 crore women. A total of ₹22,000 crore was transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts under DBT. With the 20th instalment due soon, anticipation is growing among the farming community.

To ensure timely updates, the government advises farmers to keep their contact information updated on the PM-KISAN official portal.
