The much-anticipated 20th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is finally on its way. While it was initially expected in June 2025, the payment has been delayed—again. However, sources in the central government now confirm that the funds are in the final processing stages, and farmers across India may start receiving ₹2,000 in their accounts between July 19 and 20, 2025.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to formally release the instalment during a mega event in Bihar on July 18, though an official confirmation is still awaited.
 
Earlier, on February 24, PM Modi distributed the 19th instalment of the scheme, disbursing over ₹22,000 crore directly to 9.8 crore farmers' bank accounts.

PM Kisan Yojana Samman Nidhi Yojana: 6 essential steps to receive 20th instalment

 
To avoid any last-minute hiccups or delays in receiving the instalment, the Ministry of Agriculture has issued six mandatory steps farmers must follow:
 
Complete e-KYC
Ensure your e-KYC is completed on the official PM Kisan portal. Without this, your benefits could be paused.
 
Link Aadhaar to bank account
Your Aadhaar number must be linked with your bank account to ensure a smooth transfer of funds.
 
Verify bank details
Double-check that your bank details are accurate and updated, as incorrect information can lead to failed transactions.
 
Fix land record discrepancies
Clear any issues related to land ownership records to stay eligible under the scheme.
 
Check beneficiary status

Update mobile number
