PM Kisan Yojana 21st Installment 2025: Will Farmers Get ₹2,000 Before Bihar Election on November 4? Latest Updates
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme by the Indian government provides farmers with ₹6,000 annually in three installments. Farmers are eagerly awaiting the 21st installment, especially with the Bihar Assembly Election’s first phase on November 4, 2025. As of November 2, 2025, no official release date has been confirmed. Media reports suggest the installment may drop in November 2025, but there’s no guarantee it’ll hit before the election. The 20th installment was released in August-September 2025. This scheme benefits over 11 crore farmers, and e-KYC with land verification is mandatory. I checked this online, and bhai, it’s a lifeline for farmers—just wait for the date! Here’s the full scoop on details, eligibility, process, and updates.
