Mumbai, October 15: The Government will likely release the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) Yojana before Diwali 2025, providing financial support to millions of farmers across India. Under this scheme, farmers receive INR 6,000 annually, distributed in three equal instalments of INR 2,000 to help meet agricultural and household expenses. Reports indicate that the process has already begun in some states, with Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand receiving advance payments due to recent floods. Farmers in other states are expected to receive the instalment in the coming days.

The instalment aims to support small and marginal farmers owning less than 2 hectares of cultivable land, whose families are identified by state and UT administrations. Beneficiaries must complete e-KYC and ensure their bank accounts are correctly linked to Aadhaar to receive timely payments. The 20th installment was released on August 2, 2025, and now farmers eagerly await the next instalment to be credited directly into their accounts.
