PM Kisan 20th Installment Date Update: Farmers across India are eagerly waiting for the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. While the official disbursement date is yet to be confirmed, media reports suggest that the Rs 2,000 payment is likely to be released on July 18, 2025. However, the Ministry of Agriculture on Wednesday shared a new advisory with six important steps that farmers need to follow to get the next installment.
Six-Step Checklist for PM-Kisan Beneficiaries
Complete e-KYC – Farmers must complete their electronic Know Your Customer verification. Without e-KYC, no installment will be credited.
Aadhaar-Bank Linking – Farmers must ensure their bank accounts are correctly linked with their Aadhaar numbers.
Verify Bank Details – Any errors in the account number or IFSC code could result in failed transfers.
Resolve Land Record Issues – The land must be registered and verifiable through official digital records.
Check Beneficiary Status – Farmers should visit the official website pmkisan.gov.in to verify their names are listed.
Update Mobile Number – A valid mobile number is needed to receive one-time passwords and scheme updates.
PM-Kisan installments usually come in February June and October. This year the June installment did not arrive on time which has caused worry among farmers. The government has not given any reason for the delay. Reports say the money may be released at a public event on July 18. The previous installment was credited on February 24
