PM Kisan Samman Nidhi: The Government of India’s Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one of the largest financial assistance schemes for millions of farmers in the country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers are sent a financial assistance of ₹6,000 directly into their bank accounts every year. This amount is disbursed in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each.
What is the scheme, and how much money do farmers receive?
The PM Kisan Yojana is a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme of the central government. Under this scheme, eligible land-owning farmer families receive an annual financial assistance of ₹6,000. This amount is provided to support farming and household expenses and is transferred directly to their bank accounts.
Latest Update on the 22nd Instalment
Farmers are now awaiting the 22nd Instalment in 2026. Following previous years’ patterns, this Instalment is expected to be released in the last week of February or early March 2026. Although the government has not yet announced an official date, instalments have been released in late February or early March in previous years. Therefore, it is expected that payments will be made at that time as well.

- e-KYC must be complete
- Aadhaar card must be linked to the bank account
- Correct bank and land information must be updated
- Name must be on the beneficiary list
