The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme continues to provide essential support to India’s farmers by offering ₹6,000 annually (₹2,000 per installment). With the PM-Kisan 20th Installment expected in June–July 2025, it’s crucial for beneficiaries to stay updated on requirements to ensure timely payment.
📆 Expected Release Date
While the exact date remains unconfirmed, most sources suggest farmers may receive the 20th installment by late June or early July 2025. Some reports even mention a notable date like June 20, 2025, but government confirmation is still awaited.
Due to potential administrative delays, beneficiaries should assume payment may arrive anytime between June and mid‑July, around periods like PM Modi’s Bihar visit (e.g. July 18) .
✅ 6 Essential Steps to Secure Your Installment
To avoid payment failures, the Ministry of Agriculture strongly advises completing the following mandatory tasks:
- Complete e‑KYC (OTP‑based, biometric, or face‑auth)
- Link Aadhaar with your bank account
- Verify bank account information (account number, IFSC)
- Resolve land‑record mismatches
- Confirm your name matches Aadhaar and PM-Kisan records
- Ensure your mobile number is updated
This checklist helps prevent common payment issues, like delays due to mismatches or inactive bank accounts.
🛠️ How to Complete e-KYC
e‑KYC is mandatory—in its absence, payouts will be withheld . Farmers can complete e-KYC through:
- OTP-based on PM-Kisan portal/app:
Visit pmkisan.gov.in → “Farmers Corner” → “e-KYC” → enter Aadhaar and OTP, then submit. - Biometric-based at CSC/Seva Kendra if mobile-unsynced.
- Face authentication via mobile app, where available.
Most guidelines require completing KYC before a specific cut-off—some reports mention June 20, 2025.
📌 Fixing Common Errors That Block Payouts
A few key errors often block or delay payments:
- Name mismatch between Aadhaar and PM-Kisan portal.
- Inactive or incorrectly linked bank accounts.
- Land‑record mismatches or missing entries.
- Mobile numbers not updated, causing OTP failures.
To correct errors:
- Visit pmkisan.gov.in → “Farmer Corner” → “Updation of Self Registered Farmer” → edit Aadhaar/bank/name details.
- For land issues, use local revenue officials or patwaris.
- Visit CSCs or agriculture offices for offline verification and support.
