PM Kisan: Millions of farmers across the country are currently waiting for the next installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. Since the 21st installment was credited to their accounts, all eyes are now on the 22nd installment. This scheme not only helps with farming expenses but also provides financial support to farmers. However, amidst this enthusiasm, a big question is arising in the minds of those farmers who do not own land but work tirelessly on others' fields. Will sharecroppers or tenant farmers also benefit from this ambitious government scheme?

Will the Samman Nidhi also be credited to the accounts of sharecroppers?
In the rural landscape of India, a large population consists of farmers who do not own their own agricultural land. They cultivate land belonging to others for their livelihood. This is commonly known as sharecropping, where the farmer gives a portion of the crop to the landowner and keeps the rest. The hard work is entirely done by these farmers, but the land documents are not in their names.

This is why, when discussions about the 22nd installment of PM Kisan began, confusion also spread about whether there have been any changes in the rules this time. Will sharecroppers also receive the money? According to the rules, the direct answer is 'no'. The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is designed in such a way that its benefits are only available to those whose names are registered in the revenue records as owners of agricultural land. That is, if you are cultivating the land but your name is not in the land records, you will not be considered eligible for this scheme.

Farmers should not be misled by social media news.
Nowadays, many types of news circulate on social media, claiming that the government is relaxing the rules. But farmers need to understand that the basis of the PM Kisan scheme is 'land ownership'. When this scheme was launched, it was initially limited to small and marginal farmers. Later, the government expanded the scope and included all landowning farmers, but the condition remained the same: the land must be in your name. Therefore, even if you are cultivating another farmer's land with great effort, unfortunately, under the current rules, you will not be eligible for the 22nd installment.

The wait for the 22nd installment will end only after the budget.
Now, let's talk about the question every eligible farmer is waiting for: when will the money arrive? Based on the latest updates, it is being estimated that there will be a slight delay in the release of the 22nd installment. The reason for this is the upcoming Union Budget. The country's budget is scheduled to be presented on February 1, 2026.

The government will likely release the next installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme only after the budget session. This installment will be the last installment of the current financial year, as the new financial year will begin in April. Therefore, farmers are advised to wait for the official announcement and, in the meantime, complete their e-KYC and land verification process so that the money can be credited directly to their bank accounts without any hindrance as soon as the installment is released.
