22nd Installment to Be Credited on March 13

The PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana

provides financial support to small and marginal farmers across the country. Under the scheme, farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, which is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each during the year.

The previous installment of the scheme was released toward the end of 2025, and farmers had been eagerly waiting for the next payment. With the government confirming the release date, beneficiaries can now expect the 22nd installment to reach their accounts on March 13

.

Since its launch, the scheme has benefited millions of farming families by offering direct financial assistance to help them manage agricultural and household expenses.

What Is the PM-Kisan Scheme?

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is one of the largest income-support programs launched by the Government of India for farmers. The scheme was introduced in 2019

with the aim of providing financial assistance to small and marginal farmers.

Under this initiative, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 per year, which is transferred directly to their bank accounts in three installments. The payments are made through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism to ensure transparency and eliminate intermediaries.

By transferring funds directly to beneficiaries, the government aims to provide timely financial support to farmers and reduce delays or leakages in the distribution process.

Farmers Who May Not Receive the Next Installment

Not every registered farmer automatically receives the installment under the PM-Kisan scheme. The government verifies beneficiary records before each payment cycle. If certain eligibility conditions are not met, the payment may be withheld.

Farmers may miss the 22nd installment

if the following issues exist:

  • e-KYC process not completed

  • Farmer ID not linked or verified on the official portal

  • Land ownership records not verified

  • Any family member works in a government job

  • The farmer or family member pays income tax

  • A family member receives a pension of ₹10,000 or more per month

Before releasing every installment, authorities update the beneficiary database and remove accounts that do not meet the eligibility criteria.

Important Steps Farmers Should Complete

To avoid delays in receiving payments, farmers should ensure that all required formalities are completed on the PM-Kisan portal. Some of the essential steps include:

  • Completing e-KYC verification

  • Checking and updating land record details

  • Confirming eligibility status on the official website

Farmers can also use the Kisan eMitra chatbot available on the portal to check their registration status, installment details, and other scheme-related information.

How to Check Your Name in the PM-Kisan Beneficiary List

Farmers who want to confirm whether they will receive the next installment can check the beneficiary list online by following these steps:

  • Visit the official PM-Kisan website

  • Click on the Beneficiary List option

  • Select the state, district, sub-district, block, and village

  • Click Submit

    • If the farmer’s name appears in the list and all details are correct, the ₹2,000 installment will be credited directly to their bank account once the government releases the funds.

    A Major Support Scheme for Farmers

    Since its launch, the PM-Kisan scheme has become one of the government’s most significant welfare programs for the agricultural sector. By providing regular financial assistance, the initiative aims to support farmers in managing farming costs and improving their financial stability.

    With the 22nd installment scheduled for March 13, millions of farmers across India are set to receive the next round of financial support under the scheme. Ensuring that all required documents and verifications are complete will help beneficiaries receive the payment without any delay.
