PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Latest Update: Next Payment Expected in October 2025

PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana Latest Update: The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a major farmer welfare scheme launched in 2019. It provides ₹6,000 every year to eligible landholding farmer families in three installments of ₹2,000 each. The money is directly transferred into the farmers’ bank accounts.

20th Installment Released

On August 2, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 20th installment of the scheme from Varanasi. Around ₹20,500 crore was transferred directly to the bank accounts of nearly 9.7 crore farmers across India. With this, the government has now disbursed over ₹3.69 lakh crore since the launch of the scheme.

Next Installment (21st)

The 21st installment is expected to be released around October November 2025. Farmers are advised to complete their e-KYC and ensure their details are updated to avoid delays in payment.

Farmer ID Update

For the 20th installment, farmers without a Farmer ID also received the money. However, from the 21st installment onwards, Farmer ID will be mandatory along with e-KYC verification.

Common Issues in Payment
Some farmers may not receive their installment due to:
Incomplete or pending e-KYC
Mismatch in bank account details
Unverified or outdated land ownership records
State Highlight Assam

In Assam alone, about ₹422.05 crore was transferred to 20.31 lakh farmers during the 20th installment, showing the wide reach of this scheme.

Conclusion

The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues to provide timely support to crores of farmers across India. With the 20th installment already released in August 2025, all eyes are now on the upcoming 21st installment. Farmers are encouraged to complete e-KYC and get their Farmer ID ready to ensure smooth payments.
