The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana continues to provide much-needed financial support to crores of farmers across India. Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually, credited in three instalments of Rs 2,000 each directly into their bank accounts. As the next payment cycle approaches, many beneficiaries are now eagerly waiting for updates on the much-anticipated 22nd instalment and when it will be credited.
PM Kisan 22nd Instalment Likely Around Holi
The government has not announced an official date yet, but based on previous patterns, the 22nd instalment is expected by late February 2026 or around Holi (February 25 to March 5). The distribution cycle is based on three phases: April–July, August–November, and December–March.
Complete e-KYC or Miss Payment
The central government has clearly stated that payments will not be made without an Aadhaar-seeded bank account, verified land records, and completed e-KYC. If your name is on the beneficiary list but your e-KYC is pending, you should complete it immediately by visiting pmkisan.gov.in. The process can be done from home using OTP-based verification or face authentication.
