The countdown has begun, and innumerable farmers from all over India have one question on their minds: When will the next payment of PM Kisan be deposited into their bank accounts? Speculation is in overdrive mode, and expectation gathers momentum more and more.
A Scheme That Keeps Hope Alive for Farmers
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, or PM Kisan as it’s popularly referred to, is a boon for crores of farmers. It’s not just a government plan, it’s a guarantee that arrives in three installments annually, with ₹2,000 credited into beneficiaries’ accounts each instalment.
And now, the release of the next 20th one is making headlines, and all eyes are glued to every detail. For people who are relying on this minute but important sum, the wait is not merely for money, it’s for livelihood, planning, and relief.
What’s So Special About July 18
Here’s where things get interesting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Motihari, Bihar, on July 18, where he’ll address a massive public gathering. Sources say this event might not just be political, it could be the moment when the next PM Kisan payment is officially announced and rolled out.
While there’s no written confirmation yet, insiders believe that Modi could release the 20th installment during this visit, just like he has done in previous editions. And if that happens, expect a flurry of SMS alerts and account messages lighting up across the nation shortly after.
Still No Official Word on the Website
Normally, a few days before any installment is sent out, the official website pmkisan.gov.in updates its homepage with the disbursement date. But this time, it is strangely silent. The last log still reads the 19th payment received in February 2025.
This quiet has put everyone on the edge. No messages. No notifications from the app. Just the ringing question: When is the money arriving?
At this point, all is patience. The signals are that July 18 is the most likely date, but until an official update is made public, it is a calculated guess.
Farmers may still keep checking the PM Kisan site and look for any updates. One thing for sure, when it finally happens, the 20th installment will bring a wave of relief, despite the delay appearing more lingering than expected.
