Important dates
23rd installment released20 June 2026

Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), landholding farmer families get ₹6,000 every year — three installments of ₹2,000, every four months, straight into their bank account. The 23rd installment was released on 20 June 2026. eKYC is mandatory to receive the money.

Why didn’t my installment come?

The most common reasons are incomplete eKYC or a bank account not seeded with Aadhaar. The department has also held payments until physical verification in some cases — for example land acquired after 01-02-2019, or more than one member of the same family receiving the benefit. Check your status in ‘Know Your Status’.
