PM Kisan Samman Nidhi 21st Installment: Latest Updates, Expected Release Date, and How to Check Status

As of November 12, 2025, millions of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana. This central government scheme, launched in 2019, provides ₹6,000 annual financial assistance to eligible small and marginal farmers in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, directly transferred to their bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

The 20th installment was released on August 2, 2025, benefiting over 9.7 crore farmers with a total disbursement of more than ₹20,500 crore. Now, attention has shifted to the next tranche.

Expected Release Date for 21st Installment

According to multiple reports and government patterns, the 21st installment is expected to be released in November 2025, likely in the first or second week. Some sources suggest it could arrive mid-November (around November 10-20), possibly after the Bihar Assembly elections to comply with the Model Code of Conduct.

Installments typically follow a four-month cycle: April-July, August-November, and December-March.
Earlier, advance payments were made to flood-affected farmers in states like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir in September-October 2025.
