The wait for the 19th installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan Yojana) is nearly over. The central government is set to release the 19th installment by the end of February 2025, and it is expected to be credited to farmers' bank accounts on Monday, February 24, 2025. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will transfer this installment directly to farmers during an agricultural program in Bihar.

Rs 6,000 Annually Under PM Kisan Yojana

Under the PM Kisan Yojana, farmers receive financial assistance of Rs 6,000 every year. This amount is transferred in three installments of Rs 2,000 each every four months through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). So far, 18 installments have been credited, with the 18th installment being released on October 15, 2024. The government is now preparing to release the 19th installment by February 24, 2025.
