New Delhi: The Government of India is all set to release the 20th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a flagship scheme aimed at supporting farmers across the country. According to media reports, eligible farmers may receive ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts by June 20, 2025. However, the government has not yet officially confirmed the exact date.
About PM-Kisan Scheme
Under the PM-Kisan scheme, the central government provides ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmers in three equal installments. The amount is credited directly into the beneficiaries’ bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
Who Will Get the 20th Installment?
Over 9 crore farmers across India are registered under this scheme. States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan have a large number of beneficiaries eagerly awaiting the next payment.
How to Check PM-Kisan Status?
To check your beneficiary status, follow these simple steps:
- Visit the official website: pmkisan.gov.in
- Click on the “Farmers Corner” section and select “Beneficiary Status.”

- Complete OTP verification to view your payment details.
e-KYC and Aadhaar-Bank Linking Mandatory
To receive the 20th installment, farmers must ensure that their e-KYC is completed and their Aadhaar is linked with their bank account. Failing to do so may lead to payment delays.
- e-KYC can be completed online via the PM-Kisan portal.
- Farmers without Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers can visit the nearest CSC or bank branch for biometric verification.
Government’s Advisory
The Ministry of Agriculture has urged all beneficiaries to update their details well in time to avoid any interruption in receiving the funds. The PM-Kisan scheme aims to provide timely and transparent financial assistance to support small and marginal farmers across the country.
