PM Kisan 21st Installment Likely Before Diwali: Check Your Status, e-KYC, and Bank Details Now
The wait for the next installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan) may soon be over. According to recent reports, the 21st installment of the PM Kisan scheme could be released before Diwali 2025, bringing financial relief to millions of farmers across India.
Under this flagship government scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹2,000 every four months, adding up to ₹6,000 annually. The amount is directly credited to their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring transparency and quick financial assistance.
Farmers Await the 21st Installment
Across India, farmers are eagerly waiting for the 21st installment. Interestingly, states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand have already received their payments in advance. The central government disbursed the funds early to these regions as a special relief measure, following severe floods that caused major agricultural losses.
Reports indicate that nearly 27 lakh farmers from these states have already received ₹2,000 in their bank accounts. For farmers in other parts of the country, the government is expected to release the installment by the last week of October 2025, just ahead of the Diwali festivities. However, no official date has been announced yet by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Who Will Receive the PM Kisan Payment?
It’s important to note that not all registered farmers will receive this installment automatically. The government has laid out certain eligibility and verification requirements. If a farmer’s e-KYC is incomplete, or there are issues in their bank account details, or their land documents are not properly verified, the payment could be withheld.
1. Complete Your e-KYC
The government has made e-KYC mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. Farmers can complete it in two ways:
-
Online: Visit the official website pmkisan.gov.in and complete e-KYC through OTP verification.
-
Offline: Visit the nearest CSC (Common Service Centre) and verify your details through biometric (fingerprint) verification.
Without completing this step, no installment will be credited to your account.
2. Verify Your Bank Account Details
Many times, payments get delayed or fail because of incorrect bank details. Common issues include wrong IFSC codes, closed bank accounts, or accounts not linked with Aadhaar. Farmers should immediately verify their bank account information to avoid payment failure.
3. Land Record Verification
The government has intensified scrutiny to prevent fake beneficiaries. Farmers whose land ownership documents are not updated or verified on the PM Kisan portal could be removed from the beneficiary list. Ensure that your land papers are accurate and uploaded to continue receiving benefits.
4. Farmer Registry Enrollment
Now, being registered only on the PM Kisan portal is not enough. Farmers must also ensure their name is added to the State Farmer Registry. Registration can be completed either through the Farmer Registry mobile app or by visiting a CSC center.
How to Check PM Kisan Beneficiary Status
Farmers can easily check whether their name is included in the beneficiary list by following these steps:
-
Visit pmkisan.gov.in.
-
Click on ‘Beneficiary List’ from the homepage.
-
Select your State, District, Block, and Village.
-
Click on ‘Get Report’ to view the list.
If your name appears, you’re eligible for the upcoming installment. If not, you may need to correct your details or complete pending verification steps.
When Will the Next Installment Arrive?
The 21st PM Kisan installment is expected to be transferred before Diwali, most likely in the last week of October 2025. The government aims to ensure that every eligible farmer receives the ₹2,000 amount directly into their bank account before the festive season.
What Farmers Should Do Now
To avoid missing out on the upcoming payment, farmers should immediately:
-
Complete their e-KYC process.
-
Ensure Aadhaar and bank accounts are properly linked.
-
Verify land records and ownership details.
-
Confirm registration in the Farmer Registry.
After completing these steps, keep checking the official PM Kisan website and SMS alerts for updates. As soon as the installment is released, beneficiaries will receive a confirmation message from the government.
Conclusion
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues to play a crucial role in supporting India’s agricultural community. With the festive season approaching, the upcoming installment will serve as a financial lifeline for millions of farmers.
However, timely action is essential—farmers who fail to update their e-KYC, verify their documents, or correct their bank details might miss the Diwali payment. So, make sure all your information is updated to ensure a smooth and successful credit of the 21st PM Kisan installment into your account.
