PM Kisan 20th Installment: ₹2,000 to Be Credited to Farmers’ Accounts Today — Check These Important Details

Great news for millions of farmers across India! On August 2, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana directly from Varanasi. Over 9.7 crore eligible farmers will receive ₹2,000 each credited directly into their bank accounts as part of this major financial aid initiative.

The previous (19th) installment under this scheme was disbursed in February 2025. Today’s transfer will continue to support farmers’ livelihoods, provided they meet the eligibility criteria set by the government.

Who Will Receive the 20th Installment?

Only those farmers who have fulfilled the mandatory requirements will receive the 20th installment. The government has clarified that accounts with incomplete or incorrect details will have their payments temporarily withheld. However, farmers need not worry—once the necessary corrections are made, the pending amount will be included in the next installment cycle.

Mandatory Requirements to Receive the Payment:

1. e-KYC Completion: Identity verification must be completed.

2. Aadhaar Linkage with Land Records: Aadhaar number should be linked to land ownership documents.

3. Accuracy of Submitted Documents: All submitted documents must be correct and up to date.

Why is e-KYC Important?

The government emphasizes e-KYC to ensure that financial benefits reach the rightful beneficiaries. There are three methods to complete e-KYC:

• OTP-based e-KYC: Through registered mobile number.

• Biometric e-KYC: At the nearest CSC (Common Service Centre).

If you haven’t completed e-KYC yet, do it immediately to avoid delays in receiving the payment.
