PM-KISAN 22nd Installment: ₹2,000 to Be Released Today - Check Date, Eligibility and Payment Status
Farmers across India are set to receive the 22nd installment of the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi Yojana today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the latest payment from Guwahati, Assam on March 13, 2026. Once released, the financial assistance will be transferred directly to eligible farmers’ bank accounts.
Under the scheme, beneficiaries receive ₹2,000 per installment, which is paid three times a year. With the 22nd installment now due, farmers who have completed their e-KYC and document verification will receive the payment directly through the government’s system.
What Is the PM-KISAN Scheme?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a central government initiative launched in 2019 by the Government of India to support landholding farmer families.
Through this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually. The amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 every four months. The money is transferred directly to beneficiaries through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring transparency and eliminating middlemen.
The financial support helps farmers manage basic agricultural expenses such as seeds, fertilisers, and farming equipment.
A Major Support Programme for Farmers
Since its launch, the PM-KISAN scheme has become one of the largest income-support programmes in the world. So far, more than ₹4.27 lakh crore has been transferred to over 9.35 crore farmers across the country.
To ensure only genuine beneficiaries receive the funds, the government has made e-KYC verification and Aadhaar seeding mandatory for all registered farmers.
When Will the 22nd Installment Be Released?
The 22nd installment will be released on March 13, 2026. The official programme will begin at 5 PM, after which the ₹2,000 installment will be credited directly to the bank accounts of eligible farmers.
How to Check If the Money Has Been Credited
Farmers can easily confirm whether they have received the installment using the following methods:
1. SMS Alert
After the payment is processed, beneficiaries usually receive a message on their registered mobile number. Banks may also send a notification confirming that ₹2,000 has been credited to the account.
2. ATM Check
If you do not receive an SMS, visit the nearest ATM to check your account balance. You can also print a mini statement to see if the installment has been deposited.
3. Visit Your Bank
Farmers can also visit their bank branch with their passbook. Updating or printing the passbook will show whether the installment has been credited.
With the latest installment arriving today, millions of farmers across India are expected to benefit once again from this flagship income-support scheme.
