The central government is running the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan) scheme with the aim of strengthening farmers’ income. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive financial assistance of ₹6000 every year. This amount is not given all at once but is transferred directly to the farmers’ bank accounts in three equal instalments. Each instalment is ₹2000 and is released at an interval of four months. So far, farmers have received the benefit of 21 instalments under this scheme.

Farmers’ Expectations High for the 22nd Instalment
Since the release of the 21st instalment, farmers across the country have been waiting for the next instalment. This assistance is considered very important for farmers amidst the rising costs of farming and household needs. Therefore, there is a lot of anticipation among farmers regarding the 22nd instalment, and questions about its release date are constantly being asked.
When Can the 22nd Instalment of PM Kisan Be Released?
The government usually releases the PM Kisan instalment at an interval of every four months. According to media reports and past trends, it is estimated that the 22nd instalment may be transferred to farmers’ accounts in February. However, the central government has not yet announced any official date. Therefore, farmers are advised to rely only on official government announcements.
Why is e-KYC Necessary?
e-KYC has been made mandatory to avail the benefits of the PM Kisan scheme. Farmers who have not yet completed their e-KYC may have their next instalment withheld. The government aims to ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach only eligible and genuine farmers. Therefore, completing e-KYC on time is very important.
How to Do e-KYC for PM Kisan Scheme
The e-KYC process is completely online and can be done from home. For this, farmers first need to visit the official PM Kisan website pmkisan.gov.in. On the website’s homepage, the e-KYC option is available in the Farmers Corner. Here, you need to enter your Aadhaar number and the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar. After the OTP verification is complete, a message confirming successful e-KYC appears on the screen.
