More than 9 crore farmers of the country are waiting for the 24th installment: Know when ₹ 2,000 will be transferred.

by

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is one of the most ambitious and successful public welfare schemes of the Central Government providing direct financial support to the food providers of the country. Under this scheme, financial assistance of ₹ 6,000 per year is transferred to eligible farmer families in three equal installments of ₹ 2,000 each directly into their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The 23rd installment of the scheme was successfully disbursed in June 2026, under which an amount of approximately ₹18,880 crore was transferred to the accounts of more than 9.44 crore farmers. Now crores of beneficiary farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the 24th installment for the four-monthly period of August-November 2026.

According to sources in the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, there is every possibility that the amount of the 24th installment will be transferred to the accounts of farmers through DBT during the month of October before the upcoming festive season (Dussehra and Diwali). However, the government has made it clear that this amount will be received only by those farmers whose 100% verification of documents has been completed. If Aadhaar seeding or e-KYC is pending in a farmer's account, his name may be excluded from the beneficiary list.

At the time of launch of PM Kisan Yojana, there were many cases of ineligible and non-farmer persons availing benefits wrongly. After this, the Central Government made e-KYC legally mandatory to make the system completely transparent, middleman-free and secure. The Ministry has given clear instructions that the payment of farmers whose e-KYC process has not been completed will be technically withheld at the bank level.

Farmer brothers can complete their e-KYC as per their convenience through the following three simple means:

  • OTP based online e-KYC (at home): First official portal of PM Kisan pmkisan.gov.in Go to. By going to 'Farmers Corner' on the homepage 'e-KYC' Click on Options. Enter your 12 digit Aadhaar number and click on 'Search'. A 6 digit OTP will come on the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, after entering it on the screen and submitting it, your e-KYC will be completed immediately.

  • Biometric Authentication (CSC Centre): If your mobile number is not linked to your Aadhar card or the thumb impression is not working, you can get your e-KYC done through biometric fingerprint scanner by visiting the nearest Common Service Center (CSC / Sahaj Jan Seva Kendra). For this the operator has to pay a government fee of only ₹ 15.

  • Face Authentication (Face Authentication via PM-KISAN App): For those elderly farmers whose fingerprints have been erased or whose mobile OTP is not available, the government has made an official PM KISAN GoI State-of-the-art facility of 'Face Authentication' has been provided on the mobile app. By logging into the app, farmers can complete their e-KYC without any OTP or biometric device by scanning their face with the camera of their smartphone.

Merely doing e-KYC does not guarantee the installment. Due to technical reasons, installments of lakhs of farmers get stuck on PM Kisan Portal because two other important conditions are not fulfilled in their profile status. If you want the 24th installment to come into your account without any interruption, check these two points immediately:

  • Land Seeding: It is mandatory to have your agricultural land ownership records linked to the state revenue records and PM Kisan database. If 'Land Seeding: No' is visible in your status, it means that your Khatauni or land verification is stuck in the Revenue Department. For this, you will have to submit the updated copy of your land certificate, Aadhar card and bank passbook to the accountant (patwari) or deputy agriculture director office of your tehsil and update 'Yes' on the portal.

  • Bank Account Aadhaar Seeding and NPCI Mapping: Many farmers think that once Aadhaar card is added to their bank account, the work is complete. But government subsidy and DBT money reaches only those bank accounts which are National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) Are mapped to 'Aadhaar Payment Bridge System' (APBS) on the servers of Aadhaar. If your bank account is not actively linked to NPCI, an error of 'Payment Failed' will appear. For this, go to your bank branch and fill the 'DBT Aadhaar Mandate Form' or open a new DBT enabled account in India Post Payments Bank (IPPB).
