PM Kisan Yojana: Will the wait for the 24th installment end on the day Ravana is burnt? Rs 2,000 will be credited to accounts..

PM Kisan Yojana: October 20th is set to be a significant date for the crores of farmers awaiting the 24th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana. This date marks the completion of four months since the release of the previous installment. Typically, the Central Government releases installments under the PM Kisan Yojana every four months. There is a strong possibility that the Ministry of Agriculture might present a major gift to the country's farmers on the occasion of Dussehra.

In fact, the festival of Dussehra falls on October 20th; the 'Ravan Dahan' (burning of the effigy of Ravana) will take place on Tuesday. This day is celebrated as the victory of good over evil.

Will the wait for the 24th installment end on October 20th?
So far, 23 installments of the PM Kisan Yojana have been released. There has been no official update regarding the 24th installment yet. However, there is speculation surrounding October 20th. Since Dussehra falls on this day—and it also marks the completion of four months since the last installment—it is being speculated that the upcoming installment could be released on this date.

However, as banks will remain closed on October 20th due to the Dussehra festival, there is also a possibility that the installment might not be released on that day. The government might instead transfer the ₹2,000 for the 24th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana prior to the Diwali festival.

When was the last installment of the calendar year released previously?
Last year, the third installment of the PM Kisan Yojana for the calendar year was released on November 19th. However, the 20th installment had been released on August 2nd. There was a gap of 3 months and 17 days between the second and third installments of that year. Meanwhile, in the current year (2026), the second installment was released on June 20th, and October 20th will mark the completion of four months since that release. Given the circumstances, it is highly likely that the government will release the 24th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana before Diwali. The likelihood of it arriving before Dussehra is very low; the probability is higher for the installment to be released in the period between Dussehra and Diwali.
