New Delhi, June 16, 2025 – In a significant update for farmers across India, the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana is expected to be credited on or around June 20, 2025, according to media reports. While the government has not yet issued an official confirmation, the news brings hope and anticipation for over 9 crore farmers awaiting financial assistance.
What Is the PM-KISAN Scheme?
Launched in 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme is a Central Sector Scheme fully funded by the Government of India. It provides annual income support of ₹6,000, delivered in three equal installments of ₹2,000 to eligible landholding farmer families.
Since its inception, the scheme has become a financial lifeline for small and marginal farmers, particularly in rural and agrarian regions. As of 2025, the government has disbursed over ₹3.04 lakh crore under this initiative, making it one of India’s most extensive direct benefit transfer (DBT) programs.
When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?
The 19th installment was credited in February 2025, and the 20th installment is now anticipated by June 20, 2025. If reports are accurate, ₹2,000 will soon be credited directly into the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries.
Farmers are strongly advised to ensure that they have completed the necessary documentation and verifications to avoid any delays in receiving their funds.
Who Is Eligible for PM-KISAN Benefits?
The scheme is targeted toward:
Small and marginal farmers
Landholding farmer families with verifiable land records
Those with Aadhaar-linked bank accounts and updated eKYC
Ineligible individuals include institutional landholders, income tax payers, and professionals like doctors or engineers drawing a pension above a certain limit.
Key Requirements to Receive the Installment
To receive the 20th installment without issues, farmers must ensure the following:
eKYC is completed (either via OTP or biometric)
Aadhaar number is correctly seeded with the bank account
Land ownership documents are verified and updated
How to Check Your PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
Visit the official website: pmkisan.gov.in
Click on ‘Know Your Status’ or ‘Beneficiary List’
Enter your Aadhaar number or registered mobile number
Complete OTP verification

This process helps farmers check whether they are on the beneficiary list and whether the payment has been processed.
Why This Matters for Farmers
With rising input costs and weather uncertainties, timely financial aid like this can play a crucial role in supporting agricultural operations. From buying seeds and fertilizers to managing household expenses, the PM-KISAN installment brings a degree of economic relief, especially to those in rural India.
Farmers who have not received previous installments or are unsure about their application status should immediately verify their documents and complete the required procedures through the official portal.
