Millions of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme, which provides ₹2,000 every four months to eligible beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The government is reportedly in the final stages of processing the upcoming payment, and farmers are advised to complete all necessary formalities like e-KYC and bank detail updates to ensure seamless credit.

📅 When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?

As per multiple media reports, the 20th installment of PM-Kisan is expected to be released around July 18, 2025. Speculation suggests that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may announce the release during a public event in Motihari, Bihar. However, it’s important to note that no official confirmation has been issued by the government yet.

The previous 19th installment was credited to farmers' bank accounts in February 2025.

✅ What Should Farmers Do to Receive the Next Installment?

To ensure timely receipt of the upcoming payment, farmers must:

• Complete their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) verification.

• Verify that their bank details are correct and linked to their Aadhaar.

• Ensure that their name appears in the PM-Kisan beneficiary list.

• Fix any technical or documentation errors that could delay payment.

Failure to complete these steps could result in delays or disqualification from receiving the benefit.

🔍 How to Check Your Name in the PM-Kisan Beneficiary List

You can easily check if your name is listed as a beneficiary by following these steps:

1. Visit the official website: https://pmkisan.gov.in

2. Go to the “Farmer’s Corner” section on the homepage.

3. Click on “Beneficiary List”.

4. Select your State, District, Sub-district/Block, and Village.

5. Click “Get Report” to view the list of eligible farmers in your area.

If your name appears, you are likely to receive the 20th installment without any issues.

📋 How to Check Self-Registered or CSC Farmer Status

1. Go to the PM-Kisan website.

2. Click on “Status of Self Registered/CSC Farmers” under Farmer’s Corner.

3. Enter your Aadhaar number and the captcha code.

4. Your registration status and approval status will appear on the screen.

This step is essential to confirm whether your application is approved or if any correction is required.

🔐 How to Complete e-KYC for PM-Kisan Scheme

Completing e-KYC is now mandatory for all PM-Kisan beneficiaries. Without it, the upcoming installment will be withheld. Here are the three ways to do it:

1. OTP-based e-KYC: If your Aadhaar is linked with your mobile number, visit the PM-Kisan portal and verify via OTP.

2. Biometric e-KYC: Visit your nearest Common Service Center (CSC) with your Aadhaar card and complete biometric verification.

3. Face Authentication KYC: For elderly or differently-abled farmers, CSCs offer facial authentication as an alternative method.

⚠️ Common Issues That May Delay Payment

If your name is missing from the beneficiary list or your payment is delayed, it could be due to:

• Aadhaar-bank mismatch

• Mobile number not linked with Aadhaar

• Incomplete KYC

• Incorrect registration details

In such cases, visit pmkisan.gov.in and check your district's contact person (POC) or contact your local agriculture officer for assistance.
