PM Kisan Yojana: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is an important scheme launched by the central government to provide financial assistance to farmers. The objective of this scheme is to stabilize the income of small and marginal farmers by providing them with direct financial support. Farmers often face financial pressure due to weather risks, production costs, and market uncertainties in agriculture. In such times, this scheme has emerged as a major source of relief for farmers.

Millions of farmers across the country are associated with this scheme, and they receive the assistance amount directly into their bank accounts every year. Now, farmers are waiting for the 22nd installment, and discussions about its possible release date have intensified.

How much financial assistance do farmers receive under the scheme?

Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, eligible farmers receive a total of Rs. 6000 in assistance every year. This amount is transferred directly to their bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). The government provides this amount in three equal installments of Rs. 2000 each. This payment is released at intervals of four months so that farmers receive regular assistance throughout the year.

When can the 22nd installment be released?

Based on the government’s pattern and the record of previous installments, the 21st installment was released on November 19, 2025. According to the four-month payment cycle of the scheme, the next installment is expected to be released in February 2026.

According to several reports, this installment may be released by mid- or end of February, although the government has not yet announced an official date. Some estimates suggest it could also arrive in the last week of February or the beginning of March.

Which farmers will receive the 22nd installment?

The benefits of the scheme will only be available to those farmers who meet the eligibility criteria set by the government. It is essential that the farmer’s e-KYC is complete, land records are verified, and the bank account is linked to Aadhaar and DBT. If any of these processes are incomplete, the installment may be withheld.

Why might there be a delay in receiving installments?

Sometimes, payments can be delayed due to outdated documents, bank account issues, unlinked Aadhaar (UID) numbers, or incomplete e-KYC. Therefore, farmers are advised to update their information regularly and check their status on the official portal.

How can farmers check their status?

Farmers can check their status by visiting the official PM Kisan website and entering their registration number. Complete information regarding eligibility, payment status, and document status is available there.
