India’s farmer community in rural regions is eagerly waiting for the best once more under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Yojana), and the 20th installment will probably reach the farmers’ wallets in June 2025. The scheme has proved to be a source of resilience for crores of farm families, with ₹6,000 per annum released in three equal installments. With 19 already disbursed, expectations are huge for the next.
But don’t celebrate too prematurely, farmers have to roll. Some essential tasks must be done on time, or the next check may prove elusive.
Expected Date for 20th PM Kisan Payment Revealed
Glancing back at the past, the government releases an installment every four months. The 19th installment arrived in February 2025. And, according to logic, the next installment must release in June, if history is any indicator. While no formal communication has arrived so far, farmers don’t have to wait for a letter. Thinking in advance is best insurance.
Do These 3 Things to Ensure Installment Credit
1. Aadhaar Must Be Linked to Get Paid
Link your Aadhaar number with your bank account.
This ensures your money reaches you directly through DBT. In case of non-linking, your money could get trapped or worse, be cancelled. Linking Aadhaar is no longer a mere formality. It’s the guardian of your benefits.
What You Need to Do
Go to your bank. Take your Aadhaar card and account information along with you. Online linking through net banking is also available with some banks.
2. Land Records Must Be Verified
Check your land records.
This check is done only on cultivable land registered in the farmer’s name. This check avoids misuse and promises originality.
What You Need to Do
Proceed to your district agriculture office or revenue department. They will check documents and assist with necessary corrections.
3. Complete Your e-KYC to Avoid Delays
Get the e-KYC done.
It authenticates your identity and ensures that only actual farmers get the money. Skipping this has made a few lose their earlier installments.
What You Need to Do
Go to pmkisan.gov.in or your local CSC. It’s easy and mostly hassle-free.
What You Risk If You Delay
Missing these tasks might postpone or even lose your 20th payment. The government has warned farmers earlier, and some had trouble earlier cycles because of inaccurate records. Don’t take a chance.
Check If Your Installment Is Credited
Go to pmkisan.gov.in. Use your Aadhaar, mobile, or bank to check your status. It is easy and ensures all your details are in order.
