The 20th Installment of PM-KISAN is Coming Soon — But Are You Eligible?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana has been a lifeline for crores of farmers across India, offering direct financial support of ₹6,000 annually in three installments of ₹2,000 each. As the 20th installment is expected to be released in May or June 2025, many farmers are eagerly waiting for the next payout.
However, not all beneficiaries may receive the PM-KISAN 20th Installment. The government has tightened eligibility norms, and thousands of farmers risk losing the benefit if key requirements aren’t met.
🔍 Why Some Farmers Might Not Get the PM-KISAN 20th Installment
Here are the major reasons some farmers may be excluded from receiving the next PM-KISAN installment:
1. e-KYC Not Completed
The government has made e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) mandatory. Farmers who fail to complete e-KYC will not receive any further installments.
- Complete e-KYC online via pmkisan.gov.in
- Or visit the nearest Common Service Center (CSC) for biometric verification
2. Aadhaar Not Linked to Bank Account
Your Aadhaar number must be linked to the bank account in which you receive the PM-KISAN benefit. Mismatched or unlinked accounts will lead to rejection.
3. Land Records Not Updated or Verified
Eligibility for the scheme depends on verified land ownership records. Ineligible or outdated land documents may result in exclusion from the beneficiary list.
4. Ineligibility Based on Government Service or Income
Farmers who fall under the following categories are not eligible for PM-KISAN:
- Income tax payers
- Government employees (except Group D and Multi-Tasking Staff)
- Retired pensioners receiving more than ₹10,000 per month
- Professionals such as doctors, engineers, and chartered accountants practicing in rural areas
✅ How to Check Your PM-KISAN Status
Follow these steps to check if you’re eligible and your name appears in the beneficiary list:

📅 Expected Date of the PM-KISAN 20th Installment
The 20th installment is likely to be released between May and June 2025. It is crucial to complete all verification steps before this period to avoid missing out on the benefit.
ℹ️ Final Tip for Farmers
If you haven’t received your previous installment, visit the nearest CSC or contact your Agriculture Department office immediately. Ensure that all your records, including Aadhaar and bank details, are up-to-date.
