Millions of farmers across India eagerly await the next installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN)—a central government scheme that provides direct income support to small and marginal farmers. Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, credited directly into their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

With the 20th installment due, here’s the latest update on when the next payment will be released, eligibility criteria, and steps farmers must follow to ensure they receive the benefit.

₹2,000 Payment Expected by Early July

So far, 19 installments of PM-KISAN have been successfully distributed. According to the official schedule:
