PM Kisan 21st Installment Date.
PM Kisan 21st Installment Date: Even as over 11 crore farmers await the next tranche of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, it is necessary to complete certain mandatory formalities in order to avoid missing the upcoming installment. The 21st installment of the PM Kisan scheme is expected to be released soon.
Under the PM Kisan scheme, the government provides financial support of Rs 6,000 annually to every eligible farmer in three installments of Rs 2,000 each. So far, the government has provided 20 installments under the scheme, and the farmers are now awaiting the 21st tranche of Rs 2,000.
Here are the four key things you must check and fix to avoid delays in receiving your next Rs 2,000 installment:
1. Link Aadhaar with Your Bank Account
The government disburses the PM Kisan amount through the Aadhaar-seeded Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. Make sure your bank account is correctly linked to your Aadhaar number. If not, visit your bank or update it online to avoid payment failure.
2. Complete Your e-KYC
e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is mandatory for all PM Kisan beneficiaries. Without it, your name may be dropped from the beneficiary list.
You can complete e-KYC in three simple ways:
OTP-Based e-KYC: If your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile number, visit PM Kisan’s website and verify using the OTP.
Biometric e-KYC: Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) for fingerprint authentication.
Facial Authentication: A special facility for senior citizens and physically challenged farmers is now available at CSCs, allowing e-KYC through facial recognition.
As per the scheme’s official website, “eKYC is MANDATORY for PMKISAN Registered Farmers.”
3. Get Your Land Records Verified
Eligibility for PM-KISAN is based on land ownership. If your land documents are not updated or not verified with the state revenue department, your application may be rejected or the next installment may be withheld.
Many states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan have launched farmer registry and land verification drives. Ensure your land records are digitised and linked with your Aadhaar and PM Kisan ID.
4. Check Your Application Status Online
You can check whether your application is approved, rejected, or pending by visiting the official PM Kisan portal:
Go to pmkisan.gov.in
Click on ‘Know Your Status’ or ‘Beneficiary Status’
Enter your Aadhaar number, registration number, or mobile number
It’s also advisable to check the bank account details mentioned in your profile to correct any errors in name spelling, IFSC code, or account number.
PM Kisan: When is the 21st Installment Expected?
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.
