There is again a wave of hope among the farmers of the entire country regarding the 22nd installment of the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. The beginning of the new year can bring happiness for the farmers, because it is believed that the government is preparing to release the next installment of PM Kisan Yojana soon.
The previous i.e. 21st installment was released on 19 November 2025, in which Rs 2000 was sent directly to the accounts of more than 9 crore farmers. Since then, farmers have been waiting for the 22nd installment and are constantly trying to know when the money will arrive. The question in the minds of the farmers is that when will the date of the new installment be decided and whether this time too Rs 2000 will be received on time.
Although no official announcement has been made by the government yet, but media reports are saying that the 22nd installment may be released in the beginning of the new year 2026. If this happens, it will be a big relief for millions of farmers, because farmers use the installment money for farming, seeds, fertilizers, and other needs. Many experts believe that the government may release the installment by the end of February 2026, although this will be confirmed only when the official date is released. Till then, farmers should update all their important documents and information, so that there is no problem in getting the installment.
Who will not get the money?
The government has already made it clear that farmers whose e-KYC is not complete or whose bank details are incorrect will not get the installment money. In such a situation, it is very important that those farmers who have not yet done e-KYC, should complete this work immediately. If e-KYC remains incomplete then the next installment may get stopped. Similarly, it is also necessary to link the bank account with Aadhaar, because the money is sent directly to the account through DBT. If DBT service is not operational or there is a mistake in the account number and IFSC code, the money will not reach your account. Therefore, farmers must check their information once by visiting their bank or logging into the website.
Apart from this, farmers should also check whether their name is in the beneficiary list or not. It is very common that sometimes due to a small mistake or information not being updated, the name of the farmer gets removed from the list and the installment gets stopped. Farmers can easily check their names in the list by visiting pmkisan.gov.in.
How to get e-KYC done
The process of doing e-KYC is also very simple. Farmers can go to the website sitting at home and choose ‘e-KYC’ option and complete the verification through OTP by entering their Aadhaar number. If OTP is not coming in the mobile number of any farmer or he is not able to do the online process, then he can update e-KYC through fingerprint by going to the nearest CSC center. Due to this, there will be no problem in coming the next installment.
this is new
Now another new process has been added to the scheme, Farmer Registry. The government has made it clear that from now on the benefit of Kisan Samman Nidhi will be available only to those farmers who are included in the Farmer Registry. Farmers can register themselves in the Farmer Registry by visiting their state website or CSC center. This registry helps in determining which farmer is actually farming and who is the rightful beneficiary of the scheme.
