Overview of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana

The PM-KISAN scheme is a flagship program under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, designed to provide direct income support to landholding farmer families. The initiative addresses the financial needs of farmers for agricultural inputs, household expenses, and allied activities. Since its inception, the scheme has been a lifeline for millions of farmers, with over 9.8 crore beneficiaries receiving the 19th installment in February 2025, amounting to a disbursement of approximately ₹22,000 crore.

PM Kisan Yojana 20th Installment Date

Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, paid in three installments of ₹2,000 each, directly transferred to their bank accounts via the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. This ensures transparency and efficiency in the delivery of funds. The scheme targets small and marginal farmers who own cultivable land, as verified by state or Union Territory land records, while excluding high-income earners, institutional landholders, and those receiving pensions above ₹10,000 per month.

With the 20th installment expected in June or July 2025, farmers must stay proactive in meeting eligibility criteria, completing mandatory processes like e-KYC, and verifying their status to avoid disruptions in payment. This article provides a step-by-step guide to navigating these requirements.

PM Kisan 20th Installment Date 2025

The 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is anticipated to be released in June 2025, with some sources suggesting a possible extension into early July 2025. While the exact date has not been officially confirmed by the government as of June 30, 2025, historical trends indicate that installments are typically disbursed every four months. The 19th installment was released on February 24, 2025, benefiting over 9.8 crore farmers. Following this pattern, the 20th installment is expected to align with the June-July timeline, likely in the third or fourth week of June or the first week of July.

Farmers are advised to regularly check the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) for updates on the exact release date. Media reports and posts on X have speculated that the funds could be transferred as early as June 20, 2025, though this awaits official confirmation. The government often announces the release date closer to the disbursement, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi typically overseeing the ceremonial transfer of funds to farmers’ accounts.

To ensure timely receipt of the ₹2,000 installment, farmers must complete critical steps such as e-KYC, Aadhaar-bank account linkage, and verification of land records. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in delays or exclusion from the beneficiary list.

Eligibility Criteria for PM Kisan 20th Installment

To receive the 20th installment, farmers must meet the eligibility criteria outlined by the PM-KISAN scheme. These criteria are designed to ensure that the benefits reach small and marginal farmers who genuinely need financial support. Below are the key eligibility requirements:

Landholding Criteria: The scheme is open to farmer families (comprising husband, wife, and minor children) who own cultivable land as per the land records of their respective state or Union Territory. The size of the landholding is not a limiting factor, meaning both small and marginal farmers are eligible.
Citizenship: The farmer must be an Indian citizen.

Exclusions:

Farmers who pay income tax in the previous assessment year are ineligible.
Institutional landholders (e.g., trusts, societies) are excluded.
Farmers receiving a monthly pension of ₹10,000 or more are not eligible.
Professionals, government employees, and their families are excluded unless they actively engage in farming.

Mandatory Requirements:

Completion of e-KYC (either OTP-based or biometric-based).
Aadhaar card linked to an active bank account for DBT.
Accurate and updated land ownership records.
Registration in the Farmer Registry (mandatory in some states).

Farmers must ensure all documentation and verification processes are complete to avoid being excluded from the beneficiary list. For instance, in Sitamarhi, 5,738 farmers were recently excluded due to incomplete e-KYC or verification issues.

PM Kisan Beneficiary List 2025

The PM Kisan Beneficiary List is a critical component of the scheme, as it determines which farmers will receive the ₹2,000 installment. The list is prepared by state and Union Territory governments, based on land records and verification processes, and is uploaded to the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in). The beneficiary list for the 20th installment is expected to be released closer to the disbursement date, typically in June 2025.

How to Check the PM Kisan Beneficiary List 2025

Farmers can verify their inclusion in the beneficiary list by following these steps:

Visit the Official Portal: Go to pmkisan.gov.in.
Navigate to Farmers’ Corner: On the homepage, locate the “Farmers Corner” section.
Select Beneficiary List: Click on the “Beneficiary List” option.

Enter Details: Choose your state, district, sub-district, block, and village from the drop-down menus.
Get Report: Click “Get Report” to view the beneficiary list for your area. Check if your name is included.

If your name is missing from the list, it could be due to incomplete e-KYC, unlinked Aadhaar-bank details, or errors in land records. Farmers should address these issues immediately by contacting their local Common Service Centre (CSC) or the PM Kisan helpline (155261 or 011-24300606).

Why Your Name Might Be Missing

Common reasons for exclusion from the beneficiary list include:

Incomplete e-KYC: The government has made e-KYC mandatory for all registered farmers.
Incorrect Bank Details: Mismatched or unlinked Aadhaar and bank account details can lead to payment rejection.
Land Record Issues: Unverified or outdated land ownership records may disqualify farmers.
Farmer Registry: Some states now require registration in the Farmer Registry (e.g., via the Farmer Registry UP App).

Farmers should proactively check their status and resolve discrepancies to ensure their name appears on the 20th installment beneficiary list.

e-KYC Deadline and Process

The e-KYC process is a mandatory requirement for all PM Kisan beneficiaries to receive the 20th installment. The government has emphasized that farmers who fail to complete e-KYC will not receive the ₹2,000 payment. The deadline for e-KYC is typically set a few weeks before the installment release, and for the 20th installment, farmers are urged to complete it by mid-June 2025 to avoid disruptions.

Why e-KYC Is Mandatory

The e-KYC process verifies the identity of beneficiaries using their Aadhaar card, ensuring that funds are disbursed only to legitimate farmers. It also helps eliminate fraud, such as the misuse of publicly available Aadhaar details for unauthorized registrations. Completing e-KYC links the farmer’s Aadhaar to their bank account, enabling seamless DBT.

How to Complete e-KYC for PM Kisan

Farmers can complete e-KYC through two methods: OTP-based or biometric-based. Here’s how to do it:

OTP-Based e-KYC (Online)

Visit the PM Kisan Portal: Go to pmkisan.gov.in.
Access Farmers’ Corner: Click on the “eKYC” option under the “Farmers Corner” section.
Enter Aadhaar Number: Input your 12-digit Aadhaar number and click “Search.”
Receive OTP: If your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar, you’ll receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile.
Submit OTP: Enter the OTP in the provided field and click “Submit” to complete the process.

Biometric-Based e-KYC (Offline)

For farmers without a mobile number linked to their Aadhaar, biometric e-KYC can be completed at a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC). Visit the CSC with your Aadhaar card, where your biometric details (fingerprint or iris scan) will be verified.

Tips to Avoid e-KYC Issues

Ensure your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar for OTP-based verification.
Update your bank account details to match your Aadhaar records.
Complete e-KYC well before the expected deadline (mid-June 2025) to account for any technical issues.

Farmers who fail to complete e-KYC risk having their payments withheld, as seen in previous instances where thousands of farmers were excluded due to non-compliance.

How to Check PM Kisan Payment Status 2025

Checking the payment status of the 20th installment is crucial to confirm whether the ₹2,000 has been credited to your bank account. Farmers can check their status online using their Aadhaar number, mobile number, or registration number. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Visit the Official Website: Go to pmkisan.gov.in.
Go to Farmers’ Corner: Click on the “Beneficiary Status” option.

Enter Details: Choose one of the following options:

Aadhaar Number: Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and captcha code.
Mobile Number: Input your registered mobile number and captcha code.
Registration Number: Provide your PM Kisan registration number and captcha code.
Get OTP: If using Aadhaar or mobile number, you’ll receive an OTP for verification.
View Status: After submitting the OTP, your payment status will be displayed, including details of past installments and the 20th installment (once released).

Alternatively, farmers can download the PM Kisan Mobile App from the Google Play Store to check their status conveniently from their smartphones.

Common Reasons for Payment Delays

Incomplete e-KYC: Payments are halted if e-KYC is not updated.
Aadhaar-Bank Mismatch: Discrepancies between Aadhaar and bank account details.
Incorrect Bank Details: Wrong account number or IFSC code.
Pending Verification: Unverified land records or missing Farmer Registry registration.

If your payment is delayed, contact the PM Kisan helpline (155261, 011-24300606, or email pmkisan-ict@gov.in (mailto:pmkisan-ict@gov.in)) for assistance.

Mandatory Documents for PM Kisan 20th Installment

To ensure eligibility and smooth disbursement of the 20th installment, farmers must have the following documents ready and updated:

Aadhaar Card: Required for e-KYC and bank account linkage.
Bank Account Details: Active bank account with correct account number and IFSC code, linked to Aadhaar.
Land Ownership Proof: Valid land records (e.g., Khatauni) to confirm eligibility.
Identity/Address Proof: Voter ID, PAN card, or ration card.
Mobile Number: Linked to Aadhaar for OTP-based e-KYC.
Nominee Details: Aadhaar or PAN card of the nominee (if applicable).

Farmers should verify that all documents are up-to-date and consistent with the details registered on the PM Kisan portal to avoid disqualification.

Common Scams and How to Avoid Them

The PM Kisan scheme has unfortunately attracted scammers who exploit farmers’ personal information. Common scams include:

Fake Helpline Numbers: Scammers use fake numbers to trick farmers into sharing OTPs.
Aadhaar Misuse: Fraudsters use publicly available Aadhaar details to enroll in the scheme or open unauthorized bank accounts.
Phishing Websites: Fake websites mimicking the official PM Kisan portal to steal personal information.

Tips to Stay Safe

Always use the official website (pmkisan.gov.in) for all transactions.
Never share your OTP or Aadhaar details with unverified sources.
Contact only official helpline numbers (155261, 011-24300606).

Regularly check if your Aadhaar is publicly available by searching online and report any misuse to authorities.

Additional Tips for Farmers

Update Farmer Registry: Some states require registration in the Farmer Registry (e.g., via the Farmer Registry UP App) to remain eligible.
Monitor SMS Alerts: The government sends updates via SMS to registered mobile numbers.
Visit CSC Centers: For assistance with e-KYC, registration, or corrections, visit a nearby CSC.
Correct Errors Promptly: If your name is missing from the beneficiary list or your payment is delayed, rectify issues like incorrect bank details or land records immediately.
