Farmers across India are waiting for the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Yojana. This installment gives ₹2000 directly into the bank accounts of eligible farmers. As per media reports, the installment was expected on 20 June 2025, but by the end of the day, no payment was credited.
When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?
There is no official date announced yet by the central government for the 20th installment. However, sources suggest that it could be released soon in the coming days. Farmers are advised to keep their bank details and documents ready.
Who Might Not Get the ₹2000 Payment?
The government has clearly mentioned that only farmers who have completed their e-KYC will receive the money. Those who have not done e-KYC may face delays or may not get the money at all. Also, if your bank account is not linked with Aadhaar, the payment may not be processed.

To avoid missing the installment, farmers should:
- Complete e-KYC through a nearby CSC center or the official PM-KISAN portal
- Link their bank account with Aadhaar
- Ensure all personal details are correct in the portal
How Will the Money Be Credited?
The amount of ₹2000 will be transferred directly to the beneficiary’s bank account. No agent or middleman is involved in the process. This ensures transparency and avoids delays.
When Was the First Installment Released?
The PM-KISAN Yojana was launched on 24 February 2019. On the same day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the first installment from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. More than one crore farmers received ₹2000 each directly into their bank accounts.
