The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) program is a savior of millions of farmers in India, giving financial assistance to those who would otherwise lack food and other necessities. Introduced in February 2019, this central government scheme provides an annual amount of Rs 6,000 to the eligible farmers in three equal payments of Rs 2,000 every four months. Farmers are excited to receive the next installment, the 20th one due in June 2025, so here is all you need to know about the release date, who qualifies, and what can be done to ensure that you get the payment.
The Estimable Release of the 20th Edition
The amount that will reach the bank accounts of farmers is the 20th installment under the PM Kisan scheme, and this will happen most probably towards the end of June 2025. Though the government has not announced the official date yet, in the media they discuss June 20, 2025, as a potential date of the release, according to the usual four-month cycle of the scheme. The payment of the 19th installment was made on February 24, 2025, to over 9.8 crore farmers whose total payout was made up of Rs 22,000 crore. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to roll out the 20th installment in a public ceremony, and it is a good practice to draw attention to the effect produced by the scheme on rural India.
Official sources can be used by farmers, as the definite information is going to be announced near to the release. The new data on the latest announcements can also be trusted on other resources like the PM Kisan portal or mobile app.
Who qualifies in the 20th installment?
Farmers are supposed to fulfill certain conditions stipulated by the government to get the Rs 2,000 installment. In a nutshell, here is a word-for-word breakdown:
Citizenship: The farmer has to be an Indian citizen.
Farmers have to possess tillable land with proper land records.
Farmer Status: The scheme applies solely to the small and marginal farmers.
Exclusions: Income tax concentrate, pensions whose monthly incomes are above Rs 10,000, salaried workers on the government payroll, and landholders on institutional fronts cannot get access to it.
In order to make the payment smooth, the farmers will be required to do certain compulsory requirements, such as doing the e-KYC verification process and connecting their Aadhaar to their bank accounts. Nondisclosure of such information may only lead to late payments or even an embargo.
Important of e-KYC
All the PM Kisan beneficiaries will be required to complete e-KYC. This process authenticates the identity of the farmer and makes sure that the amount, Rs 2,000, is transferred to the right bank account. In case farmers do not undergo e-KYC, they risk not getting the 20th payment. The government has also come up with e-KYC, which increases transparency and lacks intermediaries, thus making the benefits reach the real beneficiaries.
There are numerous ways in which e-KYC can be carried out by the farmers
OTP-Based e-KYC: It can be found on the PM Kisan portal or the app. Enter your Aadhaar number, get an OTP at your registered mobile number, and provide the OTP.
Biometric e-KYC: Make a visit to a Common Service Centre (CSC) or State Seva Kendra (SSK) and do fingerprint-based verification.
Face Identification: The PM Kisan mobile application is used to identify your face and verify it in the fastest time.
The status of the portal is updated in the next 24 hours once the e-KYC is done. Farmers must make sure that their e-KYC status is clear weeks before the related release of installments.

Why PM Kisan?
The PM Kisan program is the largest direct benefit transfer program globally, benefiting millions of small and marginal farmers. This is done through handing over or giving some amount to the farmers annually, which would be Rs 6,000 and can be used towards seasonal costs by the farmers, and helping them avail seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs, and limiting the reliance on informal loans. Since its inception, the scheme has been critical in increasing agricultural productivity as well as stabilizing farm incomes.
With the 20th installment in view, farmers have been advised to perform all due formalities in order to receive their Rs 2,000 without any problems. To make the best out of this vital form of financial help, always be informed, update your information, and follow your status.
Conclusion
The 20th installment of PM Kisan, which is scheduled to be released in June 2025, will give financial solace to hundreds of millions of Indian farmers. Farmers will be able to get their payment on time by completing e-KYC, connecting with Aadhaar bank accounts, etc. Ensure that you are a beneficiary and be ready when the official release date takes place. India has preserved its agricultural support system with the PM Kisan scheme that keeps the farmers empowered.
