PM Kisan 21st instalment date: Which states have already received payment?

Farmers across the country are eagerly awaiting the 21st instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, under which Rs 2,000 is expected to be credited to beneficiaries’ accounts. The next installment is expected in November 2025.

The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, which was introduced in February 2019, gives qualified farmers Rs 6,000 a year in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each. Through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism, the money is sent straight to the beneficiaries' bank accounts.

The 21st instalment of PM-Kisan scheme has been specially transferred to the accounts of the farmers of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand as these states witnessed severe floods and landslides in September 2025. The 21st instalment of PM-Kisan scheme was disbursed to Jammu and Kashmir on October 7, 2025.

To receive an instalment under the PM-Kisan scheme, a farmer must meet certain eligibility criteria. The applicant must be an Indian citizen and own cultivable land with valid land records. Additionally, the farmer must link their Aadhaar number to their bank account and complete eKYC verification to ensure timely disbursal of the benefit. Farmers who are income tax payers, pensioners, or employed in government/public sector jobs are not eligible for the scheme.
