PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme: So far, farmers have received a total of 22 installments under the central government’s PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme. This initiative provides eligible farmers with an annual amount of 6,000 rupees. Currently, farmers are looking forward to the 23rd installment, but the government has introduced some new regulations.
To qualify for the 23rd installment, the government has made it necessary for farmers to have a Farmer Registry, or Unique Farmer ID. This means that those without this ID may experience delays in receiving their 23rd installment. Farmers lacking a Unique Farmer ID will no longer be able to benefit from the scheme. This requirement has been implemented for farmers in several states. The government uses this ID to ensure that funds are directly deposited into the bank accounts of eligible farmers.

How can farmers get a Kisan ID card?
Farmers can apply for their ID cards online via the agriculture portal. They can also get these cards offline by visiting CSC centers or attending special camps.
When is the 23rd installment of PM Kisan expected?
The PM Kisan Yojana releases three installments each year, typically spaced four months apart. The last installment was issued in March 2026, so the 23rd installment is anticipated to be released in June or July 2026. It is essential to obtain a Kisan ID card to ensure that your 23rd installment is credited directly to your bank account without any issues.
