What is the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
Before we talk about the 21st installment, let’s quickly understand what this scheme is all about. The PM Kisan Yojana is a Central Government scheme that provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to all landholding farmer families across the country.
This money is not given in one go. Instead, it is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, every four months. The money is transferred directly into the bank accounts of the farmers, ensuring there are no middlemen and no corruption. This financial help is meant to support farmers in buying seeds, fertilizers, and taking care of other farming needs.
When is the PM Kisan 21st Installment Expected?
This is the most important question on every farmer’s mind. The government follows a pattern for releasing the installments throughout the year:
First Period: April to July.
Second Period: August to November.
Third Period: December to March.
The last installment (20th) was released earlier this year. Following this timeline, the 21st installment is expected to be released sometime between August and November 2025.
