PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana 2025: Latest Updates for Farmers

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana 2025: The Government of India has released the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in August 2025. Each eligible farmer received ₹2,000 directly in their bank account. About 9.7 crore farmers benefited from this installment. The money is sent through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), which ensures the payment goes straight to the farmer’s account without any delay.

21st Installment Expected Soon

The 21st installment is expected to be credited in October–November 2025. Farmers must make sure their bank account and e-KYC details are updated. Without this, the payment may be delayed.

e-KYC Process

Farmers need to complete e-KYC online at the PM Kisan website or through Common Service Centres (CSCs). The e-KYC process is simple and requires a farmer’s Aadhaar number and bank account details. Completing e-KYC ensures that the farmer continues to receive the PM Kisan installment without problems.

Who Can Benefit?

Small and marginal farmers with cultivable land in their name.
Farmers whose land records are linked to their Aadhaar card.
Farmers who do not pay income tax and are not government employees.

State Support for Farmers

Many states provide additional support for farmers alongside PM Kisan. For example: Maharashtra runs the Namo Shetkari Yojana, giving an additional ₹6,000 per year. This extra money helps farmers cover expenses for seeds, fertilizers, and other farming needs.
