The 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is going to be released soon. But the installation of farmers who have not completed e-KYC may get stuck. The government can give big relief to the farmers before Diwali.

As the festive season begins, the wait for good news for the farmers has increased even more. The central government is going to release the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana soon. Crores of farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for two 2 thousand rupees to come in their bank account. But this time the government has made it clear that if the farmers do not complete the necessary formalities then the money may get stuck.

Instalment may come before Diwali

Last time the 20th installment was released on 2 August 2025 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from his parliamentary constituency Varanasi. During this period, about Rs 20,500 crore was transferred directly to the bank accounts of 9.71 crore farmers. Now the eyes of the farmers are fixed on the 21st installment. If we look at the past records, the government has released installments between August and November. In such a situation, it is expected that this time the installment can come in the accounts of the farmers before Diwali. At the same time, Bihar elections are to be held this year. There is a discussion in political circles that the central government can give the next installment of Rs 2000 to the farmers even before the code of conduct is imposed. That is, farmers can get a Diwali gift in October.

Whose money can get stuck?

The central government has made it clear that the installment of those farmers who have not completed the necessary formalities can get stuck. These formalities include e-KYC update, linking of Aadhaar and banking account and land verification etc. Apart from this, if you want to know whether your name is in the list of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana or not, then for this you go to pmkisan.gov.in. Here go to the Farmers Corner and check the beneficiary status or beneficiary list. After this, you will get complete information as soon as you enter the Aadhaar number or registration number.
