Mumbai, March 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially released the 22nd instalment (kist) of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme on March 13. During an event in Guwahati, Assam, more than INR 18,640 crore was transferred directly to the bank accounts of over 9.32 crore eligible farmer families via the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. This latest disbursement marks a significant milestone, bringing the cumulative financial aid provided under the scheme since 2019 to over INR 4.27 lakh crore.
Despite the successful rollout, government data indicates that approximately 3.8 lakh fewer farmers received the payout compared to the 21st instalment in November 2025. This decrease is attributed to an ongoing "cleanup" of the beneficiary database to remove ineligible entries and ensure that funds reach only genuine landholding farmers.

Common Reasons for Payment Failure
If your status shows as "Pending" or if you have not received the funds, it may be due to a lack of digital compliance. The government has made three specific criteria mandatory:
- e-KYC Completion: Your status must show "Yes" for e-KYC. This can be updated via the portal using face authentication or at a Common Service Centre (CSC).
- Aadhaar-Bank Seeding: Your bank account must be actively linked with your Aadhaar for DBT transfers.
- Land Seeding Verification: The land records provided must be verified and uploaded by state revenue officials.
Farmers are advised to contact their local block-level agriculture officers or the national helpline at 155261 if they face persistent issues with their eligibility status.
