PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana: Here's When To Expect The 20th Instalment
Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, the central government provides an annual financial aid of Rs 6,000 to all the eligible farmers in three instalments.
PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a flagship scheme of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government, aimed at addressing the financial needs of farmers to boost agricultural productivity.
Managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, this initiative has been playing a big role in helping farmers to take care of their agricultural expenses.
The central government provides an annual aid of Rs 6,000 to all the eligible farmers in the country through this scheme. This amount gets transferred to the bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 every four months.
PM-KISAN 20th Instalment Details
The farmers are waiting for the 20th instalment of the flagship scheme, which is expected to be disbursed soon.
As of now, 19 instalments of the PM-KISAN scheme have been disbursed to the verified accounts of the eligible beneficiaries. The 19th instalment was released by Prime Minister Modi at an event in Bihar's Bhagalpur in February. More than 9.7 crore beneficiaries across India received the financial assistance, which amounted to around Rs 22,000 crore.
Operational since Dec. 1, 2018, PM Kisan is a central sector scheme that is 100% funded by the Government of India. The state governments and Union Territory administrations have to identify all the eligible farmer families to receive the support, as per the scheme guidelines.
