PM Kisan Yojana 22nd Installment: Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme, farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually in three installments. The 22nd installment for 2026 is now due. However, the 21st installment was credited to farmers’ accounts on November 19, 2025, and now the 22nd installment is awaited. The Agriculture Ministry has made all the preparations, and the payment process is ready.
According to media reports, the 22nd installment may be released before Holi. It’s likely that the money will reach farmers’ accounts in the first week of March or earlier. We’ll share all the details of this scheme with you. However, the government has implemented some new rules. If farmers don’t complete these important tasks on time, the installment may be delayed or delayed.
New rules for the 22nd installment
e-KYC and Farmer ID are now mandatory – To receive the 22nd installment, farmers must complete two tasks: complete e-KYC (an OTP will be sent to the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar) and create or update a Farmer ID. The government has made this mandatory so that only genuine farmers receive the funds and to prevent fraudulent or duplicate entries. If e-KYC or Farmer ID are not complete, the Rs 2,000 installment will not be credited to your bank account.
Land and beneficiary information must be accurate – Farmers must also ensure that land records are correctly linked, Aadhaar is linked to the bank account, and the mobile number and address are correctly updated. Incorrect information may result in installment verification failure, potentially delaying payment.
When is the 22nd installment of PM Kisan Yojana expected to be released?
The Ministry of Agriculture has yet to provide any official updates on this matter. However, media sources suggest that the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana 22nd Instalment) could be disbursed before March 4th, likely between March 1st and 3rd.
What actions should farmers take?
To prevent any technical difficulties with their installments, farmers are advised to visit the PM-Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) or their nearest CSC center to complete the OTP-based e-KYC process. It’s important to create or update your Farmer ID and ensure that your bank account is linked to your Aadhaar to avoid any issues.
