PM Kisan 21st Installment: When Will You Get ₹2,000? Check Date, eKYC, and Beneficiary Status

PM Kisan Installment: Millions of farmers across India have a reason to be optimistic as the next installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana is expected to be released soon. Under this central government scheme, eligible farmers receive financial assistance of ₹6,000 per year, disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000. With 20 installments already paid out, the farming community is now eagerly anticipating the 21st payment.

When to Expect the 21st Installment?

According to recent reports, the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana is likely to be credited to beneficiaries’ bank accounts in the first fortnight of November 2025. While the government has not yet confirmed an official date, this timeline aligns with the scheme’s typical payment cycle.

The PM-KISAN scheme follows a pattern of releasing one installment approximately every four months. The 20th installment was disbursed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August 2025, benefiting around 98 million farmers, including 24 million women. Following this schedule, the subsequent payment falls due in the October-November period, making an early November release highly probable.

Will the Election Code of Conduct Cause a Delay?

A common concern among farmers, particularly in Bihar where the election code of conduct is currently in effect, is whether these payments will be delayed. Experts have clarified that the code of conduct restricts the announcement of new schemes but does not halt payments for previously approved and ongoing schemes. Therefore, the disbursement of the PM Kisan installment will continue without any interruption.

Mandatory Steps to Receive Your Payment

To ensure the seamless credit of the ₹2,000 installment, all beneficiaries must complete their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) verification. This is a mandatory requirement set by the government.

• e-KYC: Farmers can complete this process through OTP or biometric verification by visiting the official PM Kisan portal.
• Eligibility Check: It is also crucial to ensure that your name is on the official beneficiary list.
