The Indian government has officially released the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in 2025. Under this phase, farmers have received ₹4000 directly into their bank accounts, which includes two combined installments of ₹2000 each. This move aims to give timely financial support to small and marginal farmers across the country.
What is PM Kisan Yojana?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central government scheme launched in December 2018. It offers financial help of ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families. This amount is given in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, every four months. The money is transferred directly to the farmers’ bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
This scheme is targeted at small and marginal farmers who own cultivable land and are not receiving benefits from other government pensions or high-income sources. The amount can be used for seeds, fertilizers, farm equipment, or any personal need. There are no restrictions on how the money is used.
₹4000 Installment in 2025
In 2025, the government has issued a combined payment of ₹4000, covering two back-to-back installments. This step was taken to ensure that farmers do not face financial stress during the farming season. The installment has been transferred directly to the Aadhaar-linked bank accounts of eligible farmers.
