When will the PM Kisan Yojana installment arrive? There is major news for the crores of farmers benefiting from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The central government has officially announced the date for the release of the 23rd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana. On June 20, 2026, ₹2,000 will be transferred to the bank accounts of over 9 crore farmers across the country. However, completing the e-KYC process is mandatory to receive the funds this time; farmers who have not completed this process will not be able to avail themselves of the benefit of the installment.
**23rd installment to be released on June 20**
Information shared via the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the PM Kisan Yojana confirms that the 23rd installment will be released on June 20, 2026. Under this installment, the government will directly transfer financial assistance to the farmers' bank accounts. The 22nd installment was released on March 13, 2026, and farmers are now set to receive the next installment. The scheme aims to assist farmers with farming-related expenses and strengthen their financial position. The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi is considered one of the country's largest Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes.
**₹6,000 received annually**
Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers receive an installment of ₹2,000 every four months. Thus, a total of ₹6,000 is transferred directly to their bank accounts annually through three installments. This amount helps farmers meet needs related to seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and other agricultural requirements. Launched in 2019, the scheme has become a vital source of financial support for crores of farmers across the country over the past seven years. The government claims that the scheme has played a crucial role in supporting the income of small and marginal farmers.
**Significant benefits from the 22nd installment**
During the release of the previous (22nd) installment under the PM Kisan Yojana, the government transferred a total of ₹18,640 crore to the accounts of 9.32 crore farmers. With every installment, direct benefits reach millions of farmers, eliminating the role of middlemen and ensuring funds go straight to the beneficiaries. The government is continuously working to enhance the scheme's scope and transparency so that eligible farmers receive timely assistance without facing any hassles.
**Installment May Be Delayed Without e-KYC**
To avail the benefits of the 23rd installment, farmers must complete the e-KYC process without fail. The government has clarified that the installment amount will not be transferred to the accounts of farmers who have not completed their e-KYC. Therefore, farmers should verify their details before June 20. The e-KYC process can be completed online or through the nearest Common Service Center (CSC). The government aims to ensure the scheme's benefits reach only eligible farmers by weeding out fraudulent beneficiaries; hence, completing e-KYC on time is considered crucial.
