The 22nd installment was released from Guwahati on March 13, 2026, and now farmers are eagerly waiting for the 23rd installment.

New chapter of digital revolution
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has given a new direction to digital transformation and economic empowerment in the Indian agriculture sector. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 22nd installment of the scheme through remote at an event held in Guwahati, Assam. On this occasion, an amount of ₹18,640 crore was directly transferred to the accounts of more than 9.32 crore eligible farmer families through DBT. In this installment, 2.15 crore women farmers have also received financial assistance, which shows their contribution to the rural economy.
Expected date of next installment
Money may come in June-July
After the 22nd instalment, farmers are now waiting for the date of 23rd instalment. However, there has been no official announcement from the government, but as per the payment cycle, the next installment is likely to be released between June to July 2026. It is worth noting that the government has further tightened the rules for the beneficiaries. The benefit of the next installment will be available only to those farmers who have updated their e-KYC and linked their farmer ID to the portal. This step has been taken to ensure transparency and exclude ineligible people from the scheme.
Procedures required to avail benefits
You will not get benefits without these processes
The Central Government has made the ‘Farmer ID’ system mandatory to increase transparency under the scheme. If you have not yet created your Kisan ID or updated it on the PM-Kisan portal, your next installment of ₹2,000 may get stuck. Along with this, Aadhaar seeding and land record verification is also mandatory. Farmers can visit the official website and use the ‘Know Your Status’ option to check their status. Completing these processes on time is the only way to ensure the next installment.

Government employees, retired employees receiving monthly pension more than ₹10,000, income tax payers and persons holding constitutional posts are not eligible for this scheme. The government is continuously identifying such ineligible people through data filtration. Till now, a total amount of more than ₹ 4.27 lakh crore has been directly delivered to farmers through this scheme, thereby reducing their burden of cost of seeds, fertilizers and other agricultural inputs.
