🗓️ Expected Date of the 22nd Installment
- The 22nd installment of Rs 2,000 under the PM Kisan scheme has not been officially announced by the government yet.
- Based on previous patterns — with three installments released roughly every four months — the next payment is likely to be credited toward the end of march 2026.
- Some media reports suggest it could even arrive in early march 2026, possibly around the Holi festival period.
➡️ In simple terms: farmers are expected to see the **Rs 2,000 payment in their bank accounts sometime in March 2026 (but the exact date will be confirmed officially later).
💰 About the PM Kisan Scheme
- The scheme gives ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families in three installments of ₹2,000 each.
- It is meant to support small and marginal farmers with regular cash assistance.
📌 Important Conditions Before You Receive the Payment
✅ e-KYC Must Be Completed
- Farmers must complete electronic KYC (e-KYC) to receive the installment. Without this, the amount may be withheld or delayed.
- e-KYC can be done online via the official PM Kisan website (OTP‑based) or at a Common service Centre (CSC) using biometric methods.
🆔 Farmer ID Requirement
- A Farmer ID is now mandatory in some states where the farmer registry work has started. New registrations in those states must include a Farmer ID.
📍 How to Check Your Status
You can check whether you will receive the 22nd installment by visiting the official PM Kisan portal:
Go to pmkisan.gov.in
Click on “Beneficiary Status” under the Farmers Corner
Enter your Aadhaar / bank account / mobile number + captcha
Click Get Status to view your details — including e‑KYC and payment eligibility.
This helps you confirm if your name is in the beneficiary list and whether anything (like missing e‑KYC) could delay the payment.
🧾 Who Might NOT Get the Payment
- Farmers whose land was acquired after February 1, 2019, or who don’t complete verification.
- Cases where more than one family member is receiving benefits — these may be held for clarification.
