PM Kisan 21st Installment Update: Big Government Announcement Expected Soon
PM Kisan Yojana: 21st Installment Likely to Be Announced Soon, Farmers Await Official Confirmation
Millions of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan). According to reports, the government may make an important announcement soon, possibly after the upcoming cabinet meeting. Speculations suggest that the official release date of the new installment could be revealed as early as tomorrow.
Farmers Waiting for 21st PM Kisan Installment
Farmers have been anticipating the next payout under the PM Kisan scheme for weeks. As per sources, the Union Government may announce the 21st installment date on Wednesday, following the scheduled cabinet meeting. Once confirmed, this will provide clarity on when the funds will be transferred to farmers’ bank accounts.
The previous installment — the 20th payment — was released on August 2, 2025, when ₹20,500 crore was credited to the accounts of around 9.7 crore farmers across the country. If the same schedule continues, the 21st installment is expected to reach beneficiaries by the second week of November 2025.
Background of the PM Kisan Yojana
Launched in 2019, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme is one of the government’s flagship welfare initiatives aimed at supporting small and marginal farmers. The scheme provides direct income assistance to help cover agricultural expenses and improve rural livelihoods.
Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. The amount is transferred directly to their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring transparency and timely payments.
Expected Release Timeline
Although there has been no official confirmation yet, government sources indicate that the 21st installment might be released by mid-November 2025. Last year, the 18th installment was distributed on October 5, 2024, setting a pattern for the annual cycle.
Interestingly, some states have already received payments ahead of others. For example:
-
Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand farmers affected by floods received their payments in September 2025.
-
In Jammu and Kashmir, the installment was released on October 7, 2025.
These early disbursements were made to support farmers in regions hit by natural calamities.
Eligibility for the 21st Installment
Only farmers who have completed e-KYC verification and registration will be eligible for the upcoming payment. Additionally, it is mandatory that their Aadhaar card is linked to their bank account. Farmers who fail to complete these requirements may experience delays or ineligibility for the current installment.
To avoid issues, beneficiaries are advised to ensure all their records — including bank details and Aadhaar — are accurate and up to date in the PM Kisan database.
How to Check Your PM Kisan Payment Status
Farmers can easily check their payment details and eligibility status through the official PM Kisan website — pmkisan.gov.in.
Here’s how:
-
Visit the homepage and click on ‘Know Your Status (KYS)’.
-
Enter your mobile number or registration number.

The system will display the current status of your installment.
Alternatively, you can also check your payment update through the PM Kisan Mobile App or the Kisan eMitra chatbot for instant assistance.
Final Word
The PM Kisan Yojana continues to be a lifeline for millions of Indian farmers, providing much-needed financial stability. With the 21st installment expected soon, anticipation is high among rural communities. Once the government officially announces the release date, beneficiaries can expect the amount to be directly credited to their bank accounts within days.
Until then, farmers are encouraged to keep their e-KYC and bank details updated to ensure they don’t miss out on this vital support under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.
