PM Kisan 2025 – Check beneficiary status & 20th installment date now.

PM Kisan 2025 – Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) is a special scheme by the Indian government to support farmers. Started in 2019, it helps small and marginal farmers who work hard to grow food for our country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers get Rs. 6,000 every year, given in three parts (installments) of Rs. 2,000 each. These installments are usually paid during April-July, August-November, and December-March.

In this article, we’ll explain everything about the 20th installment of PM Kisan, how to check if you’re eligible, how to apply, and why this scheme is so important for farmers.

What is the PM Kisan Scheme?

The PM Kisan scheme is run by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. It started on December 1, 2018, to give financial help to farmers who own cultivable land. The scheme provides Rs. 6,000 per year to farmers’ families, which is paid in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000. The money is sent directly to farmers’ bank accounts through a system called Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This helps farmers buy things like seeds, fertilizers, and tools, or even use the money for their family’s needs.

So far, more than 9.5 crore farmers have registered for this scheme. The 19th installment, released on February 24, 2025, gave over Rs. 22,000 crore to 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.41 crore women farmers. This shows how big and important this scheme is for India’s farming community.

Details of the 20th Installment

The 20th installment of PM Kisan is expected to be released in June 2025. This means eligible farmers will get Rs. 2,000 directly in their bank accounts around that time. While the exact date will be announced by the government closer to June, it seems likely to follow the usual schedule of every four months. The money helps farmers plan their farming activities and manage expenses.

There’s some discussion that the installment amount might increase to Rs. 3,000 in the future, but for now, it remains Rs. 2,000 per installment. To stay updated, farmers should regularly check the official PM Kisan website (PM Kisan).

Why Is e-KYC Important?

e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) is a process where the government verifies your identity to ensure the money goes to the right person. It’s mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. If you haven’t done your e-KYC, you might not get the 20th installment. You can complete e-KYC in two ways:

• Online: Visit the PM Kisan website and follow the e-KYC instructions.

• Offline: Go to a nearby CSC, where staff can help you complete the process.

The last date for e-KYC was extended to August 31, 2022, but farmers should check the website for any new deadlines.

Extra Help: Kisan Credit Card

The PM Kisan scheme is linked to the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme, which helps farmers borrow money for farming needs. The KCC offers loans at low interest rates (2% to 4%) without requiring collateral (like land) for loans up to Rs. 3 lakh. It also includes crop insurance and flexible repayment options. Farmers can apply for a KCC through the PM Kisan portal (PM Kisan).

The PM Kisan scheme is like a helping hand for farmers. It gives them extra money to:

• Buy seeds, fertilizers, and tools for farming.

• Pay for family expenses like school fees or medical bills.

• Plan their farming activities better.

This scheme is especially important for small and marginal farmers who often don’t have enough money to cover their costs. With over 9.5 crore farmers benefiting, PM Kisan is making a big difference in rural India. It also supports women farmers, with 2.41 crore women receiving the 19th installment.
