The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme continues to be a vital financial lifeline for millions of small and marginal farmers across India. Following the successful disbursement of the previous tranche in June 2026, the central government is anticipated to release the 24th instalment in October 2026. Under this flagship initiative, eligible farmer families receive an annual financial benefit of ₹6,000, distributed in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 every four months.
How to Check Your Beneficiary Status
To ensure there are no hurdles in receiving the upcoming payment, farmers are advised to check their status on the official PM Kisan portal. You can verify your details by following these steps:
- Visit the official PM Kisan website (pmkisan.gov.in).
- Navigate to the 'Know Your Status' module under the Farmers' Corner.
- Enter your registration number or mobile number and the captcha code.
- Click on 'Get Data' to view your eligibility and payment history.
Mandatory e-KYC for 24th Instalment
The government has made e-KYC mandatory for all PM Kisan registered farmers. If your e-KYC is pending, the instalment may be withheld. Farmers can complete this process through three primary methods: the OTP-based method on the PM Kisan portal, biometric authentication at Common Service Centres (CSC), or via the PM-Kisan mobile app using face authentication technology.
Eligibility and Land Seeding
Apart from e-KYC, the release of funds is contingent upon 'Land Seeding.' This process involves linking the farmer’s land records with the PM Kisan database. If your status shows 'No' for land seeding, you must contact your local tehsil or revenue office to rectify the records. Additionally, ensure that your bank account is linked with your Aadhaar and that the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) option is enabled to receive the ₹2,000 credit directly.
