If you’re a farmer waiting for the next cash support, the 20th installment of the PM Kisan scheme is finally here. The government is sending another Rs 5,000 straight to your bank account, and you don’t need to fill out any new forms if you’re already in the system. Let’s break down everything you need to know, from eligibility to the exact date the money should land in your account.
The PM Kisan scheme covers all small and marginal farmers who own less than 2 hectares of land. If you’ve received the previous 19 installments, you’re automatically in the list for the 20th one as long as you haven’t been disqualified for any of the following reasons:
Check your status on the official PM Kisan portal – just enter your Aadhaar or bank account number and you’ll see a green tick if you’re all set.
The Ministry of Agriculture announced that the 20th tranche will be transferred between 1 September and 10 September 2025. Most farmers report seeing the credit within 48 hours after the transfer date. If you don’t see the amount by the 15th, it’s a good idea to contact your bank with the transaction reference number you can find on the portal.
Bank processing times can vary, especially in rural branches, so a short delay doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Keep your bank statement handy and verify the entry says “PM Kisan” or “Direct Benefit Transfer.”
1. Go to the PM Kisan website and click “Check Status.”
2. Enter your Aadhaar number, bank account number, or the unique Kisan ID you received when you first enrolled.
3. The portal will display the amount transferred, the date, and a transaction ID. If the status shows “Pending,” it means the transfer is still in progress.
4. If you see “Failed,” contact your bank with the transaction ID – they can re‑initiate the payment.
Sometimes, a farmer might miss a payment because of a wrong bank detail or a lapse in Aadhaar linking. In that case, you can re‑apply through the portal:
Once verified, the missed amount will be added to the next scheduled installment.
Q: Do I need to submit any documents? No – the scheme works on the data you already provided when you first registered.
Q: Can I get the money in cash? No – the incentive is disbursed only through direct bank transfer to keep the process transparent.
Q: What if I changed banks? Update your new bank details on the portal before the transfer date. The system will automatically send the money to the updated account.
That’s the whole picture for the PM Kisan 20th installment. Keep an eye on the portal, make sure your bank details are correct, and the cash should hit your account without any hassle. Happy farming!
Farmers eyeing the PM Kisan 20th installment must get their Farmer ID and e-KYC done by June 30, 2025 for the Rs 2,000 benefit. Missing this step can lead to payment issues. Registration help is available at CSCs and Gram Panchayats.
