PM Kisan: The wait is over. On Friday, March 13, Rs 2000 will be deposited into the bank accounts of farmers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to unveil the 22nd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme on March 13, 2026, this week. This sum will be directly transferred to farmers’ bank accounts nationwide during an event held in Guwahati, Assam.
The government will facilitate this transfer through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Previously, the Prime Minister announced the 21st installment of the scheme on November 19, 2025, during a program in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
What is the PM-Kisan scheme?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a key initiative by the central government, aimed at providing eligible farmers with financial support of Rs 6,000 each year. This amount is disbursed in three equal installments to farmers’ bank accounts. The initiative’s objective is to assist farmers with expenses related to seeds, fertilizers, agricultural tools, and other farming necessities, offering substantial relief to small and marginal farmers.
How can you check if your name is on the beneficiary list?

Which farmers will not receive the 22nd installment?

The government has currently made Farmer ID mandatory for new registrations in 14 states: Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Assam.
In states where farmer registry work hasn’t yet begun, Farmer ID is not currently required for new registrations. This scheme is providing financial assistance to millions of farmers across the country, and they are eagerly awaiting the 22nd installment, which is due on March 13th.
