PM-KISAN Scheme: Eligibility, Instalments and Payment Status

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, known as PM-KISAN, is a government scheme that provides financial support to eligible farmer families in India.

Under the scheme, eligible beneficiaries receive ₹6,000 a year in three instalments of ₹2,000, subject to the scheme’s rules.

Who can receive PM-KISAN benefits?

Eligibility depends on the scheme’s official conditions. Certain categories of landholders and other people are excluded under the rules.

Farmers should check their details on the official PM-KISAN website rather than relying on social media messages or unofficial claims.

Latest instalment information

The official PM-KISAN website states that the 23rd instalment was released on 20 June 2026 from Tarakeswar in Hooghly, West Bengal.

Farmers should check the official portal for any later announcement, payment status or change in their beneficiary record.

How to check payment status

• Visit the official PM-KISAN website.
• Open the relevant beneficiary status or Know Your Status service.
• Enter the details requested by the portal.
• Follow the instructions to view the available information.
• Check whether any action is required.
• The exact steps shown may change as the portal is updated.

Why eKYC matters

The official portal states that eKYC is mandatory for registered farmers. It also provides information about available eKYC options.

If a payment is delayed or withheld, check the official status and any notice about eligibility or verification. Do not assume that every delay means a technical error.

Avoid payment scams

Use the official government website for scheme information. Never share your bank PIN, one-time password or other confidential banking details with someone claiming to release your instalment.

Final advice

PM-KISAN can provide useful financial support to eligible farmer families. Checking eligibility, completing required verification and following official updates can help beneficiaries understand their payment status.
