Good News For Farmers! The 19th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is anticipated to be released in January or February 2025, generating significant anticipation among farmers. This scheme has been a crucial lifeline for the agricultural community, disbursing over Rs 3.46 lakh crore to date.

More than 11 crore farmers have benefited from the scheme’s 18 installments, with the number of beneficiaries for the 18th installment reaching 9.58 crore. As farmers eagerly await the 19th installment, the government has made it clear that only farmers who have registered through the Farmer Registry will be eligible to receive benefits under PM Kisan Yojana. The last date to complete this registration is 31 January 2025. 

The PM-KISAN is a key government initiative aimed at supporting small and marginal farmers across India. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually, paid in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 each. Launched in February 2019, the scheme has played a vital role in boosting agricultural development nationwide. The PM Modi government has allocated over Rs 20,000 crores for the upcoming installment.

To avoid any problems with the next installment, farmers need to complete their eKYC verification. This can be done online or at Common Service Centers (CSCs). They should also update their details, such as linking their Aadhaar numbers with their bank accounts, to receive the payment directly.
