If you are a beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN), your concern about the 21st installment is justified. The last installment was released in August, and given the old system, there’s a strong possibility that this amount will arrive in November. But when will the central government make this major announcement—before or after the Bihar election results (November 14th)? This question is on the minds of millions of farmers today.
Learn when this crucial amount of ₹2,000 under PM-KISAN can be credited to your account, why farmers in Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh received it first, and what important steps must be completed immediately to receive the installment without any interruption.
PM-KISAN 21st Installment
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is one of the most significant schemes run by the Government of India to help farmers. Under this innovative scheme, farmers receive a direct financial assistance of ₹6,000 annually, which is transferred to their accounts in three equal installments of ₹2,000. Crores of farmers across the country are now eagerly awaiting the 21st installment of this scheme, which is expected to reach their accounts soon.
Some States Received Early Instalment
In an unprecedented move, the central government transferred the 21st installment to the accounts of farmers in Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh on September 26th. This was done because farmers in these states had suffered significant losses due to the recent heavy rains, floods, and landslides. Therefore, the government prioritized these farmers and released the installment immediately to provide them with financial support.
When will the remaining farmers receive the funds?
The installment has not yet been released for most farmers, but there is strong hope that it will be released immediately after the Bihar election results (which will be announced on November 14). The central government may transfer the money to the accounts of millions of farmers during this time. The last installment, the 20th, was released on August 2, 2025.
Typically, each installment is released approximately every four months, so November is considered the most likely time for the 21st installment. According to sources in the Agriculture Ministry, an official update is expected soon, and farmers should keep an eye on the official PM-Kisan website.
Essential Tasks to Receive the Installment Without a Break
If you are a member of the PM-Kisan scheme and want the 21st installment to be credited to your account without any interruptions, complete some very important tasks on time. The e-KYC, Aadhaar Linking, and Land Verification processes must be fully verified.
If any of these processes are incomplete, the installment amount will not be credited to your account. The government has made these steps mandatory to prevent fraud and ensure benefits reach eligible farmers directly. Therefore, complete these processes immediately to ensure your eligibility.
