The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme continues to be a cornerstone of financial support for India’s small and marginal farmers. With the 19th installment set to be released on 24 February 2025, eligible farmers will receive ₹2,000 directly into their bank accounts. This installment is part of the annual ₹6,000 financial assistance provided under the scheme. Over 10 crore farmers have benefited from PM-KISAN since its launch in 2019, and the 19th installment is expected to reach 9.5 crore beneficiaries.
Farmers across India are eagerly awaiting this installment, especially after the successful disbursement of the 18th installment in October 2024. The government has emphasized transparency through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring timely and secure payments. However, only farmers who meet eligibility criteria, complete e-KYC, and are listed in the official beneficiary list will receive the funds. Below is a detailed guide covering eligibility, payment dates, and steps to check your status.
