PM Kisan 22nd Installment : Millions of farmers across the country are awaiting the 22nd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme. Under this scheme, the central government provides financial assistance of Rs 6,000 annually to eligible farmers. This amount is transferred to farmers’ bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This amount is disbursed in three installments annually. So far, the government has sent 21 installments to farmers’ accounts.

The last installment, the 21st, was released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 19th from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. At that time, Rs 18,000 crore was transferred to the accounts of over 9 crore farmers. A total of over Rs 4 lakh crore has been disbursed to farmers under this scheme so far.

What is PM Kisan Yojana?

Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers receive Rs 2,000 every four months. This amount is disbursed three times a year. The first installment is issued between April and July, the second between August and November, and the third between December and March. This money is sent directly to farmers’ bank accounts.

The scheme was announced in the 2019 interim budget by then-Finance Minister Piyush Goyal. It was later launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Today, it is considered one of the world’s largest direct benefit transfer schemes.

When will the 22nd installment come?

According to media reports, the 22nd installment of PM Kisan may be released this month. However, the government has not yet announced an official date. Therefore, farmers are advised to check their eligibility, e-KYC, and beneficiary status.
