Great news for farmers across India! The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme’s 20th installment is set to bring ₹2000 directly to the bank accounts of eligible farmers. This scheme, started in 2019, helps small and marginal farmers by giving them ₹6000 every year in three equal parts. With the 20th installment expected in July 2025, farmers can now check their payment status online to ensure they receive this financial support. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest update and how to check your status instantly.
When to Expect the 20th Installment
The 20th installment of PM-KISAN is likely to be released between July 15 and July 20, 2025, with July 18 being a possible date due to a scheduled event by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Siwan, Bihar. The previous installment was credited on February 24, 2025, to over 9.8 crore farmers. The government usually transfers ₹2000 every four months, and this time, farmers are eagerly waiting for the funds to support their farming needs like buying seeds and fertilizers.
How to Check Your Payment Status
Checking your PM-KISAN payment status is simple and can be done from home. Farmers can visit the official website, pmkisan.gov.in, to confirm if their ₹2000 has been credited. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to pmkisan.gov.in and find the “Farmers Corner” section.
- Click on “Beneficiary Status.”
- Enter your Aadhaar number, mobile number, or bank account number.
- Click “Get Data” to see your payment details and status.
If you don’t know your registration number, you can use your Aadhaar or mobile number to find it on the same website.
Why e-KYC and Updates Are Important
To receive the ₹2000 installment, farmers must complete their e-KYC, which links their Aadhaar to their bank account. Without this, payments may get delayed or stopped. You can update e-KYC online using an OTP sent to your registered mobile or visit a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC) for biometric verification. Also, ensure your name, bank details, and mobile number are correct on the PM-KISAN portal to avoid any issues. Many farmers miss payments due to outdated or incorrect information.

Who Can Get the ₹2000 Payment
The PM-KISAN scheme is for small and marginal farmers who own up to 2 hectares of cultivable land. The state government checks land records to confirm eligibility. Farmers must have an Aadhaar card and a linked bank account to receive payments. Those who are institutional landholders or high-ranking officials are not eligible. Over 10 crore farmers are expected to benefit from this installment, helping them meet daily and farming expenses.
Stay Safe from Fraud
With excitement around the 20th installment, some fake messages and websites may trick farmers. Always use the official PM-KISAN website (pmkisan.gov.in) to check your status or update details. Avoid sharing personal information on unverified sites. For help, contact the PM-KISAN helpline or visit your local agriculture office. By staying alert and keeping details updated, farmers can ensure their ₹2000 arrives on time, bringing relief and support for their hard work.
