PM Kisan 20th Installment Date: When Will It Be Announced?
According to reports, the next installment (21th installment) of the PM Kisan scheme is expected to be released in the first half of November. However, the official date has not been announced yet.
It is important to note that the government has already released the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme for flood and landslide-affected farmers of Jammu and Kashmir.
Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on October 7 released the installment in advance through video conferencing from Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi. Under this release, Rs 171 crore has been directly transferred to the bank accounts of 8.55 lakh farmers, including over 85,000 women farmers in Jammu and Kashmir. With this, farmers in the Union Territory have received a cumulative Rs 4,052 crore under PM Kisan so far.
PM Kisan: Can 21st Installment Be Released Amid Model Code Of Conduct?
With the Model Code of Conduct currently in force in Bihar, many are curious whether the government can still make payments during this period. The answer is yes. While the government is barred from announcing new schemes, it can continue disbursing payments under previously approved programmes, such as PM-Kisan, according to financialexpress.com.
This means that once the technical formalities between the state and central governments are completed, the funds may be credited to farmers’ accounts as usual.
Meanwhile, it is necessary for the farmers to check eligibility, complete KYC, and check beneficiary status. They also need to apply if they have not so far.
What Is PM Kisan Scheme?
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers get Rs 2,000 every four months, which is Rs 6,000 annually. The money is provided each year in three instalments — April-July, August-November and December-March. The fund is directly transferred to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
The scheme was announced in the Interim Budget 2019 by then finance minister Piyush Goyal and was later launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It has now become the world’s biggest Direct Benefit Transfer scheme.
