Farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Under this scheme, farmers receive financial assistance directly in their bank accounts to support their agricultural needs. This time, the government may release the next installment soon, and reports suggest that farmers could receive Rs 9,000 annually instead of Rs 6,000.
PM Kisan Yojana Latest Update
Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmers currently receive Rs 6,000 per year in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each. However, discussions are ongoing about increasing this amount to Rs 9,000 annually to provide greater relief to farmers affected by rising agricultural costs. The central government may announce this change before the upcoming budget session.
Release of 21st Installment
The 21st installment of PM Kisan Yojana is expected to be released soon. Farmers who have completed their e-KYC and land verification will get the amount directly in their registered bank accounts. According to sources, the government is finalizing the list of beneficiaries, and payments may begin within the next few weeks.
Eligibility Criteria and Registration
To receive the PM Kisan benefit, farmers must have valid land ownership documents and an Aadhaar-linked bank account. The registration process can be completed online through the official PM Kisan website or at nearby Common Service Centers. Small and marginal farmers are given priority under this scheme to ensure timely financial support.

If the proposal to increase the amount to Rs 9,000 is approved, each farmer will get Rs 3,000 in every installment instead of Rs 2,000. This step aims to help farmers manage fertilizer, seed, and crop-related expenses more efficiently. It could also bring a significant boost to rural income and the agricultural sector as a whole.
Verification and Payment Process
Farmers are advised to check their names on the beneficiary list before the release of the next installment. The government uses an online verification process to ensure transparency. Farmers can track their payment status by visiting the PM Kisan portal and entering their Aadhaar or account number.

This initiative by the government has been a major source of relief for millions of farmers across India. The direct benefit transfer ensures there are no middlemen, allowing farmers to receive the full amount. The proposed increase in annual assistance would help strengthen the financial condition of small and medium-scale farmers.
Government’s Focus on Agriculture
The government has been continuously introducing schemes to uplift the farming community. Apart from PM Kisan, several initiatives like crop insurance and fertilizer subsidies have been expanded.
