Will the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana be released before or after the budget? This question is on the minds of millions of farmers in India. Farmers have been waiting for an answer to this question since the release of the 21st installment.
On February 1, 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the country's Union Budget. A major update regarding the PM Kisan Yojana is also expected in this budget. The government may increase the amount allocated to the scheme. If this happens, farmers may see an increase in their installment payments.
When will the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana be released – before or after the budget?
Based on the past trend of the PM Kisan Yojana, the installment released at the beginning of the year usually arrives in February. Last year, the 19th installment was released on February 24, 2025.
Considering past trends, it is highly unlikely that the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana will be released before the budget. However, nothing can be said for sure, as the government often does not announce the release of the installment beforehand. The central government has sometimes informed beneficiaries after the installment has been disbursed.
In 2025, heavy rains caused crop damage in several states. Farmers faced difficulties, and considering this, the central government had already released the 21st installment to farmers in some states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand.
Will the 22nd installment be released after the budget?
There is a higher probability that the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana will be released after the budget, as most ministries are currently busy with budget preparations. The Ministry of Agriculture is also occupied with the upcoming budget. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the government will release the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Yojana before February 1, 2026.
