As farmers across india eagerly await the 22nd ₹2,000 instalment under the PM‑KISAN scheme, the central government has taken a major step to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries receive the amount.
🔹 The government has updated the beneficiary list and removed millions of names after verification.
This means that before the next payment cycle, the database of farmers entitled to receive payment has been cleaned up to eliminate ineligible or duplicate entries.
This action was taken to ensure that the ₹6,000 annual income support (paid as three ₹2,000 instalments) reaches the right farmers according to the scheme’s rules.
📅 When the 22nd Instalment is Expected
Although the government has not officially announced the exact release date yet:
- Media and government sources indicate that the **22nd installment of ₹2,000 is likely to be deposited in farmers’ bank accounts in March 2026, possibly before the holi festival.
To receive the installment, farmers must:
✔ Complete eKYC and Aadhaar‑bank linking
✔ Ensure their name remains in the updated beneficiary list
✔ Verify correct details on the official PM‑Kisan portal
🧠 Why This Update Matters
✅ 1. Removes Ineligible Names
Removing unqualified beneficiaries ensures that the scheme funds are distributed fairly and transparently.
✅ 2. Reduces Wrongful Payments
Cleaning up the list before the 22nd instalment helps prevent misuse and ensures only eligible small and marginal farmers benefit.
✅ 3. Motivates Farmers to Update Details
Farmers are being urged to regularly check their status and complete eKYC, so they don’t miss out on payments.

🧾 Final Takeaway
Before issuing the 22nd installment of the PM‑Kisan scheme, the Modi government updated and trimmed the beneficiary list, removing names that were no longer eligible. This is intended to ensure that future payments are more accurate, transparent, and reach the farmers who genuinely qualify under the scheme’s rules.
