Under the PM‑Kisan scheme, eligible land‑holding farmer families receive ₹6,000 every year directly into their bank accounts — split into three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each. This program aims to support small and marginal farmers with financial help for agriculture and allied expenses.
Farmers across india — numbering around 9 crore — have already received 21 instalments so far. They are now eagerly waiting for the 22nd instalment of ₹2,000.
📅 When Will the 22nd ₹2,000 Be Credited?
📍 Expected Timing
According to the latest media reports, the 22nd instalment of ₹2,000 is expected to be released in March 2026. While the government has not officially announced an exact date yet, most news sources indicate that the payment will likely be credited by the end of March — possibly just before or around the holi festival period.
👉 Prior instalments followed a pattern where payments are spread out within the financial year’s last quarter (December‑March), so a late march timeline is widely expected.
📌 What Farmers Must Do to Receive It
To ensure the ₹2,000 instalment actually reaches the bank account, beneficiaries must:
1. Complete e‑KYC
Farmers whose e‑KYC is not complete may face delays or even miss the payment. Farmers can complete it online via the official PM‑Kisan portal or at a Common service Centre (CSC) with biometric verification.
2. Have Proper Farmer ID and Aadhaar‑Bank Link
Some states now require a Farmer ID along with a linked Aadhaar and bank account for beneficiary status to be valid.
3. Check Beneficiary Status Online
Farmers can check whether they’ll receive the 22nd instalment by visiting pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner → Know Your Status and entering their registration number or mobile number.
⚠️ Why Some Farmers Might Still Be Waiting
Even though nearly 9 crore farmers are expected to benefit, not all may receive the payment on time. Major reasons include:
✔ Incomplete e‑KYC or Farmer ID
✔ Mismatch in land or Aadhaar data
✔ Beneficiary names removed during verification
Officials are currently re‑checking beneficiary lists, and some names have been removed temporarily — especially for farmers with outdated or unverified records — which may delay the incoming payment for those individuals.
