The much-anticipated 20th installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM‑Kisan) scheme is all set to hit farmers’ bank accounts in June 2025, continuing the government’s quarterly ₹2,000 support to small and marginal farmers across India.
When Will It Arrive?
Although the official date hasn’t been confirmed, historical trends and recent updates suggest a release during the first or second week of June 2025. The previous (19th) installment was disbursed on 24 February 2025, impacting over 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.4 crore women beneficiaries, via a ₹22,000 crore transfer.
What’s the Amount?
Like earlier payouts, the 20th installment involves a ₹2,000 direct transfer into the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of eligible farmers, as part of the scheme’s ₹6,000 annual support, split into three tranches.
Who Qualifies?
Farmers must meet these essential criteria:
- Be an Indian citizen owning cultivable land
- Classified as a small or marginal farmer
- e-KYC completed and Aadhaar linked to bank account
- Not an institutional landowner, or income-tax payer/ pensioner drawing ₹10,000+ per month
Failure to complete these can lead to delay or disqualification from the installment.
✔ How to Ensure You Get It
Farmers can follow these steps:
- Visit the PM‑Kisan portal at pmkisan.gov.in
- Under Farmers Corner, click “Beneficiary Status”
- Enter your Aadhaar number, registration number, or bank account number, then submit captcha and hit “Get Data” to view your payment status.
- New farmers can also check the beneficiary list by selecting relevant details like state, district, block, and village.
If you’ve not received the installment, ensure your e‑KYC is current, Aadhaar is linked, and land records are correct. Visit a Common Service Centre (CSC) or call the PM‑Kisan helpline (155261 / 011‑24300606) for assistance.
Why It Matters
The PM‑Kisan scheme, launched in February 2019 as India’s largest Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) initiative, supports nearly 10 crore farmer families. The ₹2,000 aid per installment is a key financial cushion, helping farmers purchase seeds, fertilisers, and manage other farm inputs ahead of cropping seasons.
⏭ What’s Next?
- Official confirmation of the exact disbursement date
- Watch for a ceremony by PM Modi, as seen during the 19th tranche in Bhagalpur
- Preparations for the 21st installment, anticipated around September 2025, following the 4‑month instalment cycle .
Final Words
With June around the corner, eligible farmers should complete any pending e‑KYC and Aadhaar-bank linkage now to ensure a smooth payout of the PM Kisan 20th installment. Visit the official portal regularly or connect with your local CSC to stay updated and receive this vital ₹2,000 support on time.
