The wait for the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is almost over. According to government sources quoted by Business Standard, the much-anticipated ₹2,000 installment is expected to be credited to farmers’ bank accounts on either July 19 or July 20, 2025. However, no official confirmation has been made yet.

Why the Delay in Disbursement?

Sources suggest that the 20th installment is in its final processing stage, and if all goes smoothly, the funds will begin reaching beneficiaries within the stated dates. Earlier speculations had indicated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would release the installment during his Bihar visit on July 18, but that event didn’t materialize.

6 Things You Must Check to Receive the Installment on Time

To avoid any delay or rejection in receiving the payment, the Ministry of Agriculture has urged farmers to ensure the following:

  1. Complete e-KYC
    Visit the PM Kisan portal to complete your e-KYC process. It is mandatory for receiving the payment.

  2. Link Aadhaar with Bank Account
    Ensure your Aadhaar number is properly linked with your bank account. Without this, the amount won’t be credited.

  3. Verify Bank Details
    Double-check IFSC codes and account numbers to prevent failed transactions.

  4. Update Land Records
    Any inconsistency in land ownership or documentation can lead to removal from the beneficiary list.

  5. Check Your Name in the Beneficiary List
    Go to pmkisan.gov.in, click on "Dashboard", and use the "Village Dashboard" feature by selecting your state, district, sub-district, and panchayat.

  6. Keep Your Mobile Number Updated
    Ensure the mobile number linked to the PM Kisan portal is active for OTPs and scheme alerts.

How to Check If You’re Eligible for the 20th Installment?

Follow these steps:

  • Visit pmkisan.gov.in

  • Click on “Dashboard” → “Village Dashboard”

  • Select your State → District → Sub-district → Panchayat

  • Click on ‘Show’, then click ‘Get Report’

  • If your name appears in the list, you’re eligible for the upcoming installment

About the PM-KISAN Scheme

Launched in 2019, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana aims to provide income support of ₹6,000 annually to eligible farmers in three equal installments of ₹2,000 every four months. The money is directly transferred into the beneficiaries' bank accounts to assist with farming and household expenses.

Final Note

With half of July already gone, all eyes are now on the expected July 19-20 window. If you’re a PM-KISAN beneficiary, make sure all your documentation is up to date to avoid missing out on the ₹2,000 installment.

Stay tuned for official confirmation from the government in the coming hours.
