PM Kisan Samman Nidhi 20th Installment: ₹2000 to Be Credited on August 2 — Who Will Get It and How to Check
After months of anticipation, the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has finally been announced. The Central Government has confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will transfer ₹2,000 directly into the bank accounts of eligible farmers on August 2 from an event in Varanasi.
Earlier, it was expected that the installment would be credited in June, as per the usual April–July cycle, but it was delayed this time. With the official announcement now made, millions of farmers across India can look forward to receiving the next installment in their accounts shortly.
What is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
The PM-Kisan Yojana, launched by the Central Government, aims to provide financial support to small and marginal farmers across India. Under this scheme:
-
Eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year
-
The amount is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each
-
The last (19th) installment was credited on February 24, 2025
Now, the 20th installment—which covers the April to July 2025 period—will be disbursed on August 2.
How and When Will the Money Be Transferred?
On August 2, PM Modi will attend a public event in Varanasi, where he will officially release the 20th installment. According to government sources, the transfer will take place at 11 AM via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into the registered bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries.
Farmers will receive an SMS notification on their registered mobile numbers once the funds are deposited.

Who Might Not Receive the ₹2,000 Installment?
Not all registered farmers are guaranteed to receive the upcoming payment. Here are the common reasons why you might be excluded:
1. Farmer ID Not Created
The government has mandated the creation of a Farmer ID to ensure transparency. Those who haven’t yet generated their ID may miss out on the payment.
2. Mismatch in Aadhaar Details
If the name on your Aadhaar card doesn’t match the records in the PM Kisan database, your payment could be rejected.
3. Bank Account Not Linked with Aadhaar
Your bank account must be Aadhaar-seeded. Without this, the installment will not be processed.
4. e-KYC Not Completed
Farmers who haven’t completed their e-KYC will also be ineligible. The government has emphasized this step to prevent fraudulent claims.
What Should Farmers Do Now?
If you fall into any of the categories above, you must act immediately to correct your records. Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or log in to the PM Kisan portal to:
-
Complete your e-KYC
-
Ensure your Aadhaar and bank account are correctly linked
-
Generate your Farmer ID if you haven’t already
Final Word
With just a couple of days remaining before the release of the 20th installment, this is a critical window for farmers to verify and update their information. The ₹2,000 payout can only be received if all eligibility conditions are met.
Stay informed, stay updated, and don’t miss your benefit.
