For the ₹2000 installment, e-KYC alone is not enough; you now need to do this for the 22nd installment of PM Kisan.

PM Kisan 22nd Installment Date: The 22nd installment of PM Kisan may be released in February. After e-KYC, the government has now made 'Farmer ID' mandatory. Learn how to apply and the payment date for the ₹2000 installment.

PM Kisan 22nd Installment Date: The new year 2026 has brought great relief for crores of farmers in the country. Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the government has made complete arrangements this year to ensure that farmers receive their money on time. You won't have to worry about money for your farming expenses throughout the year. However, the government has also added a new rule, which is very important for you to know.

What is this Unique Farmer ID all about?

The government is now creating a separate 'digital identity' for every farmer, which is being called 'Farmer ID'. Just like every person has an Aadhaar card, now every farmer will have their own ID. This will contain all your land and farming-related information in one place. The government says that the money for the subsequent installments will be disbursed based on this ID. If you haven't created this ID, your upcoming installment might get stuck. So, don't take it lightly and get it made in time.

When will the money arrive in your account?

The 22nd installment of PM Kisan may be released in February. The 23rd installment may be transferred in July 2026 and the 24th installment during November 2026. As always, this money will be transferred directly to your account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).

What are the benefits of getting a Farmer ID?

This ID will not only be useful for receiving installments but also for many other purposes:

You will easily receive subsidies for fertilizers and seeds.

You won't have to make repeated visits to get crop insurance or compensation for losses.

The hassle of submitting documents repeatedly at government offices will end.

How to get a Farmer ID?

Getting this done is very easy. You just need to have your Aadhaar card, which is linked to your mobile number, and your land documents ready. You can even do it yourself using your mobile phone by visiting the state's agriculture portal, or you can get help at your village's Common Service Center (CSC). The government is also organizing camps in villages to ensure that no farmer is left behind.
