PM Kisan 20th Installment: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme is a crucial financial support initiative for millions of small and marginal farmers in India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive financial assistance of ₹6,000 per year, which is deposited directly into their bank accounts in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. Farmers are now eagerly awaiting the 20th installment of this scheme. In this blog post, we will discuss the expected date of the PM Kisan 20th installment, the importance of the e-KYC process, and other essential information in detail.
Expected Date of the 20th Installment
According to various media reports, the 20th installment of the PM Kisan scheme may be credited to farmers’ accounts by the end of June 2025.
