The central government runs the PM-Kisan scheme to help farmers. Under this scheme, money goes directly to farmers’ bank accounts. It is said that PM Modi may release the 21st installment before Diwali. The 20th installment came on August 2, 2025. Farmers may get the next payment in October or November. In August, about 97 million farmers got ₹20,500 crore. This scheme helps many people in villages.
When Will the 21st Installment Come?
The 21st installment of the PM-Kisan scheme was planned earlier but got delayed. It is expected that the payment may come next month as a Diwali bonus. However, the central government has not given any official news yet. Farmers must follow some rules to get the payment.
The PM-Kisan scheme currently helps about 120 million farmers. Since it started, more than ₹3.69 lakh crore has been sent directly to farmers’ bank accounts. Each farmer gets ₹6,000 every year in three equal installments, but some conditions apply. Everyone is waiting to see when the 21st installment will come before Diwali.
How to Get the 21st Installment
- Complete your e-KYC process.
- Make sure your bank account is linked to Aadhaar.
- Check that your land records are correct and updated on the portal.
- Only if these conditions are met will the 21st instalment be sent easily. If e-KYC is not done, Aadhaar is not linked, or land records are not verified, the payment may be stuck.
