Farmers across India eagerly await the 20th Instalment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. To help beneficiaries avoid missing their ₹2,000 payment, the Ministry of Agriculture has released a crucial advisory outlining six important steps.

 

While the government hasn’t officially confirmed the release date, reports indicate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may disburse the 20th Instalment in July 2025, following a delay from the earlier expected June timeline.

 

Last year, the June Instalment was released before the month-end.
