PM Kisan Yojana 20th Installment Released on August 2, 2025
Finally, the wait is over for millions of Indian farmers. On August 2, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana from his parliamentary constituency Varanasi. With this, ₹2000 has been transferred directly to the bank accounts of 9.7 crore farmers across India.
Farmers had been waiting for this installment for the past 4 months, and now the amount is reaching their accounts under the government’s Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
What Is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
The PM Kisan Yojana started in February 2019. Under this scheme, the central government provides ₹6000 per year to small and marginal farmers. This amount is given in three equal installments of ₹2000 each. The main goal is to provide financial support to farmers for their agricultural needs.
So far, the government has given ₹3.69 lakh crore to farmers under the previous 19 installments. The 20th installment adds to this support and continues the government’s promise to help farmers.
PM Modi Launched It from Varanasi
PM Modi began his Varanasi event at 11 AM and launched various development projects. During the same program, he also released the 20th installment of PM Kisan Yojana. Farmers started receiving messages from their banks as the ₹2000 amount was deposited into their accounts.
Who Is Eligible to Get the 20th Installment?
Not every farmer will receive this installment. Only those whose documents are correct and updated on the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) will get the money.
To receive the installment, farmers must:
- Complete their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer).
- Link their Aadhaar number with their bank account.
- Upload proper land ownership documents.
If any of these details are missing or incorrect, the system will not release the funds.
How to Check Your Name in the PM Kisan Beneficiary List?
Farmers who want to check whether they have received the installment can follow these steps:
- Go to the official website: pmkisan.gov.in.
- Click on the “Farmer Corner” on the homepage.
- Select “Beneficiary Status”.
- Enter your Aadhaar number or mobile number.
- Choose your State, District, Block, and Village.
- Click on “Get Report” to see your payment status.
If your name appears, it means your payment has been processed or will be processed soon.
Why Is e-KYC So Important?
The government has made e-KYC mandatory to stop fraud and ensure that only genuine farmers get the benefit. Many farmers missed earlier payments because they did not complete e-KYC on time. So, it’s very important to keep all records updated on the official portal.
Future of the PM Kisan Scheme
The PM Kisan Yojana has become one of the largest farmer support schemes in the world. With each installment, the government shows its commitment to improving farmers’ lives. The government is also working on digital solutions, like mobile apps and SMS alerts, to help farmers stay informed.
If farmers continue updating their details regularly, they will keep getting this financial help without any delay.
Conclusion
The 20th installment of PM Kisan Yojana is a big relief for 9.7 crore Indian farmers. With ₹2000 credited directly to their bank accounts, many can now buy seeds, fertilizers, and other essentials for farming.
To avoid missing future payments, farmers should regularly check their status and update their information on pmkisan.gov.in. This step ensures a smooth process and continued support from the government.
