The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme continues to be a vital financial support for small and marginal farmers across India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, split into three instalments of ₹2,000 each which are directly credited to their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Latest Updates
- The 20th instalment was disbursed on 2 August 2025, benefiting over 9.7 crore farmers, with a total outlay of about ₹20,500 crore.
- The government has issued advisories warning farmers against fake messages and frauds claiming early payments or asking for personal data. It is urged to rely only on official portals and communications.
- Banks have been asked to fix glitches that are delaying payments — problems include Aadhaar-bank linking issues, mismatches in Aadhaar and bank account details, or pending e-KYC.
Who Is Eligible
To receive the PM-Kisan benefit you must:
- Be a small or marginal farmer with cultivable land in your name.
- Have bank account details linked with Aadhaar.
- Complete e-KYC verification. Farmers with incomplete e-KYC often see delays or non-crediting of instalments.
How to Check Your PM-Kisan Status
If you want to know whether your latest instalment has been credited, or whether you are listed as a beneficiary, follow these steps:
- Go to the official PM-Kisan website: pmkisan.gov.in
- Under “Farmer’s Corner”, click on “Beneficiary Status” or “Beneficiary List” depending on what you need.
- Provide one of these:
- Aadhaar number
- Bank account number
- Registered mobile number
Also, enter the captcha if needed.
- Click on “Get Data” (or similar) to view your status. It will show if the instalment is “Credited”, “Pending”, or whether there are any issues in e-KYC or Aadhaar linkage.
What to Do If Your Instalment is Not Credited
- Check if your e-KYC is complete. Incomplete e-KYC is one of the most common reasons for delay.
- Check if your Aadhaar is correctly linked with your bank account. Any mismatches in name-spelling or bank account details can cause failure in DBT.
- Ensure your bank account is active and correct. Closed accounts, dormant accounts, or wrong IFSC codes can prevent successful disbursal.
- If things are still not correct, visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or contact the Helpline through official channels.
