Millions of farmers across India are eagerly waiting for the next payment under the **Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme. According to recent reports, the 22nd installment of the scheme is expected to be released soon, bringing financial support to eligible farmers.
When Will the 22nd Installment Be Released?
Reports suggest that Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, may release the 22nd installment on March 13, 2026 during a public event. Once released, around ₹2000 will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of more than 9 crore farmers across the country.
The payment will be sent through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring that the money reaches beneficiaries without intermediaries.
How Much Money Do Farmers Receive Under PM Kisan?
Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6000 per year from the government. The amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2000 each every year.
The program was launched in 2019 to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers to help them manage agricultural expenses.
