Millions of farmers across the country are awaiting the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana). This year, flood-affected farmers in Himachal, Punjab, and Uttarakhand have already received their installments as flood relief payments. Farmers in other states will also receive good news soon. If you’re also waiting for your installment, you must completely avoid these five major mistakes to ensure a successful payment. A slight negligence can block your ₹2,000 deposit. Five major reasons for installment delays and solutions:
Not updating the bank account and IFSC details
Many farmers don’t update their bank details properly. Incorrect or unupdated bank account numbers and IFSC codes prevent installments from being credited directly to their accounts. Therefore, log in to the PM-KISAN portal and immediately check your bank account number and IFSC code. It is essential to update any changes without delay.
Errors in Aadhaar Card Linking
Your Aadhaar card must be linked to your bank account to receive the 21st installment of PM Kisan. Lack of Aadhaar linking or incorrect information may prevent your payment. Therefore, immediately check the linking of your Aadhaar and bank account. If it is not correct, contact the nearest CSC center (Common Service Center) or bank branch. This rule is crucial to ensure the identity of beneficiaries.
Incorrect information registered on the portal
Errors in name, mobile number, or village information can also delay payments. Check the PM-KISAN portal and verify all details. Without the incorrect information, the next installment will not be received. The online correction facility is the easiest to take advantage of.
Not checking your state’s government notification
This time, more than 2.7 million farmers in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand have already received their flood relief installments. Farmers in other states are expected to receive their payments before Diwali or by the last week of October 2025. Don’t believe rumors and keep an eye on your state’s government website or official notifications.
Not checking the status promptly
Many farmers don’t check the status of their installments, making them unaware of whether their payment is pending or released. Go to the “Services” section of the PM Kisan portal and check the “Beneficiary Status.” Checking the status will reveal whether the installment has been released or the reason for the delay.
When will the 21st installment of PM Kisan be released?
The government has not yet announced an official date, but according to media reports, the ₹2,000 amount is likely to be directly transferred to the accounts of the remaining farmers before Diwali, i.e., by the last week of October 2025. Farmers are advised to immediately correct all the errors mentioned above to avoid payment delays.
