Imagine this — Diwali is just around the corner, and millions of farmers across India are eagerly refreshing their bank apps, waiting to see one small but powerful number: ₹2,000.
Yes, we’re talking about the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana, a direct benefit scheme that has changed the lives of crores of farmers since its launch.
But the big question on everyone’s mind is — when will the 21st installment actually arrive? Let’s break it down in simple words.
₹42,000 Crore Released, What’s Happening Now
The Indian government has once again opened its treasury for farmers, releasing a whopping ₹42,000 crore under various agriculture-related projects and schemes.
This includes the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhanya Krishi Yojana and the Prime Minister’s Mission for Self-Reliance in Pulses, with a total outlay of over ₹35,000 crore.
While this is great news for the farming community, most farmers are still eagerly waiting for their next PM Kisan Yojana installment — the ₹2,000 that directly lands in their accounts every few months.
Who Has Already Received the 21st Installment?
Interestingly, not all farmers are waiting. In fact, the central government has already released the 21st installment to farmers in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
Why these states first?
Because these regions recently faced heavy rains, floods, and landslides, and the government decided to provide them with early relief. For millions of others, however, the wait continues.
When Will the 21st Installment Arrive for Everyone Else?
Here’s the thing — the government has not officially announced the date for the 21st installment yet.
But based on media reports and past trends, there’s a high chance that the next installment will arrive before Diwali, possibly before October 20, 2025.
If we look back:
- In 2023, the installment came on November 15.
- In 2024, it was credited on October 5.
So, following this pattern, farmers can expect their ₹2,000 Diwali gift very soon.
Why Some Farmers May Not Receive ₹2,000 This Time
Now, this part is important.
Not every registered farmer will automatically receive the ₹2,000 installment.
Here’s why some payments get stuck:
- e-KYC not completed
- Aadhaar not linked to bank account
- Incorrect IFSC code or bank details
- Closed or inactive bank account
- Mismatch in personal details
So, if your documents or KYC aren’t updated, the money won’t reach your account. The good news? You can still fix it online in just a few minutes.
