The 21st instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, launched by the Union Government in 2019, is expected to disburse the periodic amount in the first week of November. Last year, over 9.7 crore farmers received ₹20,500 crore through previous disbursements.
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 yearly in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each, providing financial support to small and marginal farmers and helping ease their farming expenses across India.
The 20th instalment was released on August 2, 2025, and the 19th on February 24, 2025. The instalments are released every 4–6 months, allowing beneficiaries to expect the next fund transfer by the end of January.
Farmers who have completed e-KYC and registration since the 20th instalment are eligible for the 21st. Funds will be directly credited to bank accounts under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system for verified beneficiaries.
According to past trends, the 21st instalment of PM Kisan Yojana is likely to be disbursed in the first week of November. Beneficiaries should prepare for timely bank transfers under the government’s welfare scheme.
Farmers awaiting the 21st PM-KISAN instalment should track the latest updates on the official portal at https://pmkisan.gov.in. To receive funds directly through the Direct Benefit Transfer system, beneficiaries must ensure their Aadhaar is linked to their bank accounts.
Before each instalment, the government updates the PM Kisan beneficiary list. Farmers can check eligibility by selecting State, District, Sub-district, Block, and Village on the portal. This ensures transparency on fund distribution.
Some farmers may be ineligible for the PM-KISAN instalment, including those who acquired land after February 1, 2019, or families with multiple members registered. Funds for these cases are temporarily held until physical verification is completed, which beneficiaries should track online.
Farmers can also check their status using the PM Kisan portal’s Know Your Status feature, Kisan eMitra chatbot, or mobile app. This ensures that eligible beneficiaries receive the 21st instalment without delays under the DBT system.
