PM Kisan: When will the next installment of the PM Kisan scheme be released? Your payment might be delayed due to these reasons..

The most talked-about topic among farmers these days is the next installment of the PM Kisan Yojana (PM Kisan Next Installment). Everyone wants to know when the 22nd installment of PM Kisan will arrive and whether the money will be credited to their accounts. For the past few weeks, news related to the installation has been continuously circulating on social media, fueling farmers' anticipation. However, there is also a fear that a small mistake could delay the next installment.

21 Installments of Kisan Samman Nidhi Released So Far
The Modi government's PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is the largest direct benefit scheme for farmers. Under this scheme, farmers are given Rs. 6,000 every year in three installments. So far, 21 installments have been released. The last, i.e., the 21st installment, was released on November 19, 2025, in which Rs. 2,000 was deposited in the accounts of over 9 crore farmers. Now, all farmers are eyeing the 22nd installment, which is expected in early 2026.

When will the 22nd installment of PM Kisan be released?

According to media reports, the government may release the 22nd installment by the end of February 2026. However, an official date has not yet been announced. The government usually makes the official announcement a few days before the installment is released. Therefore, farmers should wait a little longer.

Will not receive the 22nd installment without e-KYC
But most importantly, the government has clearly stated that farmers whose e-KYC is incomplete or whose land verification is incomplete will not receive the installment. Many farmers still have not completed their e-KYC. Many people's mobile numbers are not linked to Aadhaar, and many farmers' data is not updated correctly on the portal. In such a situation, the installment payment is automatically stopped.

These reasons could delay the next installment.
Farmers' problems aren't limited to e-KYC. Errors in Aadhaar and bank details are a major reason for installment delays. Many farmers' names are different in Aadhaar and bank records. Some farmers' accounts have been closed, or their IFSC codes have changed. Payments often fail due to the bank's KYC not being updated. Such minor errors can delay the next installment.

Furthermore, inaccuracies in land records are also a major cause. Land records are not upadated in the name of many farmers, or the system shows the name of the previous owner. Even if the land is under dispute or the mutation is not updated, the system does not consider the farmer eligible and withholds the installment.

If a farmer's installment has been stopped or there is a problem with the status, they can have their information corrected immediately. For this, farmers can seek help from a CSC center, bank, or the Agriculture Department. The sooner their documents and data are updated, the sooner their next installment will arrive.

Follow these important steps quickly to receive Rs. 2,000
The process of completing e-KYC is also very simple. Farmers can visit the official PM Kisan website and click on the e-KYC link. Enter your Aadhaar number, enter the OTP, and the process will be completed. After this, it is important to check your bank and land records to avoid any problems with the next installment.

The 22nd installment of PM Kisan is expected to arrive in February 2026, but every farmer should check their documents before receiving the money. Even the slightest negligence can cause the installment to be delayed, so it is crucial to keep e-KYC, bank details, and land records accurate.
