The next instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is being closely watched by farmers across the country. Under the scheme, eligible farmer families receive financial support of ₹6,000 a year in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each through direct bank transfers.
The 23rd instalment was released on June 20, 2026, benefiting more than 9.44 crore farmers. With the next instalment due under the scheme’s regular cycle, farmers are checking whether their records and required formalities are complete.
Which Farmers Could Miss the PM Kisan Payment?
e-KYC Is Mandatory
Completing e-KYC is an important requirement for registered PM Kisan beneficiaries. The official PM Kisan portal states that e-KYC is mandatory for registered farmers. Those who have not completed the required verification may face issues with receiving the benefit.
Land Verification Must Be Completed
Land-related verification is also part of the beneficiary verification process. Farmers whose required land verification has not been completed may not receive the instalment until their eligibility is verified.
The PM Kisan portal also lists certain cases in which benefits can be temporarily withheld pending physical verification, including suspected eligibility issues.
Aadhaar and Bank Details Matter
Aadhaar-based identification and Aadhaar-seeded bank details are important for the direct transfer of PM Kisan benefits. The scheme’s official documents state that instalments are transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer to Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts.
Farmers can use the official PM Kisan Know Your Status facility to check payment details, bank information, UTR details and whether an amount has been credited.
When Could the 24th Instalment Be Released?
PM Kisan instalments are generally released in three cycles during the year. Since the 23rd instalment was released on June 20, 2026, the next instalment falls in the subsequent four-month cycle.
The 24th instalment is therefore expected around October 2026, but the exact release date should be confirmed through an official government announcement. The PM Kisan portal currently records the 23rd instalment as the latest released instalment.
Farmers waiting for the next payment can check their beneficiary and payment status through the official PM Kisan portal before the instalment is released.
