Farmers throughout the nation have been eagerly anticipating the 20th Installment of PM Kisan Yojana. The previous installment was credited by the end of February, so naturally, the 20th installment was expected by June. But the government has not made the release of funds yet. The news from the media states that the 20th installment notification can be made on a particular date.
Expected Date for PM Kisan 20th Installment Revealed
It is said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can make the announcement of the 20th installment of the PM Kisan scheme on July 18, when he may visit Motihari in Bihar. Although the confirmation has yet to come, sources have already hinted that all preparations are complete. Once the Prime Minister is back from his tour, he will keep some time aside for making this announcement.
Important Steps Farmers Must Take Before Payment Release
If you expect to receive the installment, ensure that you finish some crucial tasks in advance. They are necessary so that your payment may not be delayed.
Causes of Delay in 20th Installment
The farmers covered under PM Kisan Yojana were paid ₹6,000 per year in three equated halves. The third installment was made in February, so naturally one should have waited for the fourth till late June. Now that the first half of July has gone by, most of the farmers are already fretting that the delay will happen.
Delayed payments could be due to the following reasons:
Incomplete e-KYC: Farmers whose electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) is incomplete can be delayed.
Missing land verification: If land documents are not verified or uploaded, the payment is retained.
Incorrect bank details: Giving the incorrect account number or IFSC code suspends the transaction.
Old mobile number: SMS is applied in the majority of updates and reminders, so see that your mobile number is updated.
