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.
