PM Kisan 21st Installment: A big update for 9 crore farmers—the government has released the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, sending ₹2,000 directly into the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the installment from Coimbatore, alongside the South India Natural Farming Summit 2025.
This massive DBT transfer of ₹18,000 crore comes at a crucial time, offering huge relief to farmers preparing for the Rabi season.
₹2,000 Arriving Today at 2 PM
The government confirmed that PM Modi released the installment at 2 PM, and the money is now being credited to farmer accounts across the country.
If your e-KYC is completed and your name is on the latest beneficiary list, the installment should reflect in your bank shortly.
9 Crore Farmers Get the Benefit This Time
While earlier installments reached over 10 crore farmers, the government removed 7 lakh+ ineligible beneficiaries this time after strict verification.
Only verified and eligible farmers received today’s installment.
