The twenty-fourth installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM Kisan Yojana) is expected in 2026. Although the central government has not yet published any updates regarding this installment, it is anticipated that notification of the next payment may be released soon.
This program provides an annual payment of 6000 rupees to farmers and their families. This amount is distributed into three parts of 2000 rupees each and credited to the beneficiary's bank account via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
Previously, the twenty-third installment of the PM Kisan Yojana was released on June 20, 2026, transferring over 18,880 crore rupees to the accounts of more than 9.44 crore farmers.
There are two main reasons why the installment under this program might be released in October. Firstly, payments under this scheme are made every four months. October marks the completion of the fourth month, as the last installment was released in June.
Secondly, the government often gives gifts to farmers during festivals. This time, it is also possible that the PM Kisan Yojana installment will be provided as a festive gift, such as for Dussehra or Diwali.
The payment of many farmers is suspended if their bank identification (KYC) is not updated. If your bank account information is also not updated, you should immediately visit a bank branch to complete this procedure. You can get information about your KYC status from a bank employee.
Furthermore, it is necessary to complete the KYC procedure on the official PM Kisan portal. If you have not yet done this procedure, you can complete e-KYC through the portal using OTP, biometrics, and other methods.
Farmers should also ensure that their personal details, land records, and bank account information are accurate and up-to-date. Authentication based on Aadhaar is used for beneficiary identification and fund transfer under the program. If any of these elements are missing, your installment may be blocked.
