Farmers' accounts have not yet been credited with the 20th instalment of June 2025. The payment for qualified farmers is anticipated to be released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this month. 

 

February, June, and October are typically when the PM Kisan instalment is released. This year, many anticipated a similar timeline. However, as the date has not yet been formally announced, it appears that the 20th instalment has been delayed this time.
