Millions of farmers across India are set to receive a fresh instalment of financial support under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The 21st installment of ₹2,000 is expected to be credited within the next 48 hours via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), bringing relief to over 11 crore eligible beneficiaries, according to government sources.
Farmers have been eagerly waiting for their next payment, and officials have already confirmed the release schedule. Those who have completed all required formalities, including e-KYC, should see the funds reflected in their bank accounts soon.
Why the 21st PM Kisan Installment Matters
Under the PM Kisan scheme, the central government provides ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmers, transferred in three installments of ₹2,000 each. This financial aid ensures better crop planning, fertilizer purchase, and farm-related investments, especially with the rabi season underway.

However, not all farmers will receive the transfer automatically. Some may face delays or payment holds due to incomplete e-KYC, Aadhaar-bank validation issues, or taxpayer status.
How Farmers Can Check Their Payment Status
Farmers can easily confirm whether their instalment is approved by checking the beneficiary status online:
Steps to verify installment status:
- Visit the official portal: pmkisan.gov.in
- Select Beneficiary Status / Beneficiary List
- Choose State → District → Block → Village
- Click Get Report
- Check if your name appears in the list
If the name appears, the payment is likely to be credited without issues.
Who May Not Receive the ₹2,000 Installment?
Some farmers will not receive the instalment due to the following reasons:
e-KYC not completed
Bank account not linked with Aadhaar
Errors in bank details (IFSC/name mismatch)
Ineligible or taxpayer category
The government has clarified that e-KYC is mandatory for receiving future payments. Those who miss it could lose their benefits.

Option 1: Online OTP e-KYC
