PM Kisan 23rd Instalment: When Will Farmers Receive Next Rs 2,000 Payout

The Centre is yet to announce the date for releasing the 23rd instalment under the Pradhan Mantri Krishna Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme. According to the past releases, the next instalment will most likely be released around June-July 2026.

The last instalment was released to eligible farmers on March 13, 2026, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Guwahati, Assam.

Expected Disbursement Date

The PM Kisan scheme has a payment cycle of four months. The next payout is expected in the June-July window, going by the past disbursement trend. Nonetheless, beneficiaries should note that the official confirmation regarding the date is yet to be received.

What Is PM Kisan Scheme?

PM Kisan is a central government scheme that provides financial support to landholding farmer families. The scheme aims to help farmers meet agricultural and related costs with direct financial assistance. Each eligible family is provided with Rs 2,000 after every four months, with the total being 6,000 per annum.

eKYC Requirement For Beneficiaries

It is a mandatory requirement for all registered beneficiaries to go through the ‘e-know your customer’ (e-KYC) process. Farmers who have not completed it can face delay or suspension of their benefits.

eKYC can be done online through the PM Kisan portal, using OTP received on the registered mobile number. Alternatively, biometric eKYC can also be done at the nearest Common Service Centre.

How To Check Beneficiary Status

Farmers can check the status of their PM Kisan instalment through the official portal by selecting the ‘Beneficiary Status’ option under the ‘Farmers Corner’ section. The feature allows beneficiaries to track whether the instalment has been credited, is under process, or has been put on hold due to verification issues.

To access the details, farmers need to enter their Aadhaar number, bank account number, or registered mobile number along with the captcha code. After submitting the information, the portal displays payment history, registration status, eKYC status, and bank account details linked with the scheme.

Beneficiaries can also check whether their Aadhaar has been successfully seeded with their bank account and if any correction is required in personal or banking details. Farmers facing issues related to rejected payments or pending verification can use the Know Your Status feature or contact the nearest Common Service Centre for assistance.

Situations When Payments Can Be Withheld

The government has warned of cases which might not qualify as eligibility criteria. They consist of farmers who bought land after February 1, 2019, or households where two or more people are receiving benefits.

In this event, payments can be withheld until physical verification is done. The Know Your Status option on the portal or the Kisan eMitra chatbot allow farmers to verify their status.

The scheme data indicates that a large number of farmers are getting the benefits in every instalment cycle, which is an indication of a wide coverage.
