Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 21st instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on Nov. 19, 2025, in Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore. Under this instalment, approximately nine crore farmers across India will receive nearly Rs 18,000 crore directly into their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
The DBT ensures complete transparency, as funds go straight to farmers without intermediaries, ensuring beneficiaries receive the full amount.
How Much Does PM-KISAN Pay Per Farmer?
Launched on Feb. 24, 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme provides financial assistance of Rs 6,000 per year to eligible farmer families. The payment is split into three instalments of Rs 2,000 each, directly credited to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through DBT.
How Farmers Can Receive PM-KISAN Funds
Farmers must complete their eKYC to receive the instalment. There are three ways to complete eKYC:
OTP verification via the PM-KISAN portal.
Biometric verification at CSC or SSK centres.
Face authentication using the PM-KISAN mobile app.
An Aadhaar number is required for verification. Completing eKYC ensures that the government can safely transfer the funds directly to the correct bank account.
PM-KISAN Eligibility Criteria
To date, the government has transferred over Rs 3.7 lakh crore to more than 11 crore farmer families over 20 instalments. Farmers are eligible for PM-KISAN payments only if their land records, bank accounts, and identity details are verified and linked.
