24th installment of PM Kisan… will the 2000 rupees be received before Diwali?

PM Kisan 24th Installment: With the festive season approaching, millions of farmers across the country are eagerly awaiting the 24th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme. Through this scheme, the central government provides financial assistance of ₹6,000 annually to eligible farming families. This amount is transferred directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiary farmers in three installments of ₹2,000 each. The government released the 23rd installment on June 20th. Now, four months have nearly passed, and farmers are keenly looking out for the date of the next installment.

A potential gift before Diwali
Under the rules of the PM Kisan scheme, an installment is typically released every four months. Based on this timeline, it is highly likely that the 24th installment will be disbursed this month—October. Recently, Nilesh Chaurasia, Deputy Director of the Agriculture Department, hinted at this, stating that the next installment could arrive in October. As we know, the major festival of Diwali falls on November 8th this year; therefore, there is a strong possibility that the government will release the 24th installment before Diwali. This could prove to be a significant festive gift for the farmers. However, it is important to note that the government has not yet announced a definitive date. Government officials have explicitly advised farmers not to rely on claims circulating on social media, as such claims could be fraudulent.

Reasons why an installment might get held up
Sometimes, even when the government transfers the funds, they may not reach the beneficiary's account. If you have not met the eligibility criteria for the PM Kisan scheme, your 24th installment could be held up. Farmers are advised to remain vigilant. First, check whether any necessary documentation or procedures remain incomplete on your end. Farmers, in particular, should carefully verify a few key details. Start by ensuring that the information provided during registration is entirely accurate. Next, confirm whether your e-KYC process has been completed. It is also crucial that your land records have been verified. Finally, ensure that your Aadhaar card is linked to your bank account. If any of these steps are incomplete, please complete them immediately through the appropriate official channels.

Check your payment status from the comfort of your home
Farmers no longer need to make repeated visits to government offices to inquire about their installments. You can check the status of your installment online from home. This also helps in understanding why an installment might not have been credited to your account. The process is very simple:

First, open the official website, https://pmkisan.gov.in/, on your mobile phone or computer.
