Key Questions Answered

Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, eligible landholding farmer families receive a total annual financial assistance of Rs. 6,000. This amount is disbursed in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 each and is credited directly to the farmers' Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.

The 24th installment is anticipated to be disbursed during the August-November 2026 period, following the 23rd installment released on June 20, 2026. However, as of October 2, 2026, the central government has not officially announced an exact release date for this installment.

Farmers must complete e-KYC via OTP or biometric methods, ensure their bank accounts are correctly linked with Aadhaar along with proper NPCI mapping, and verify their land records. Completing these steps in a timely manner prevents disbursement issues.
