For months now, millions of farmers across India have been asking the same question: “When will my next ₹2,000 under the PM Kisan Yojana arrive?”
From Diwali to Chhath, the wait stretched longer than expected. But now, all signs suggest that the 21st installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) scheme could finally be landing in accounts this week.
If you’re one of the farmers refreshing your bank balance every morning, here’s everything you need to know — from the latest government update to how you can check your payment status right now.
What’s the PM Kisan 21st Installment Update?
According to reliable reports, the government is preparing to release the ₹2,000 installment in early November 2025, possibly before the Bihar Assembly elections begin on November 6.
While no official announcement has been made yet, farmers in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir have already received their payments. That’s a strong signal that the nationwide rollout could happen any day now.
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently confirmed that the 21st installment will be credited soon. He urged state authorities to speed up e-KYC and Aadhaar verification so no eligible farmer is left waiting.
Will the ₹2,000 Been Credited to Your Account Yet?
Here’s the thing — even though today is a Saturday (November 1), banks are open on the first Saturday of every month. Only branches in Karnataka and Uttarakhand are closed due to state holidays.
That means if your e-KYC and Aadhaar details are verified, there’s a good chance your ₹2,000 could be credited anytime now. The government often disburses funds quietly and confirms it later, so it’s worth checking your account today.
How to Check Your PM Kisan 21st Installment Status
You don’t need to visit the bank to know if your payment has arrived. Just follow these quick steps:
- Go to pmkisan.gov.in
- Click on “Beneficiary Status” under the Farmers Corner section.
- Enter your Registration Number or Mobile Number.
- Fill the captcha code and hit Enter.
- You’ll instantly see whether your ₹2,000 has been credited.
How New Farmers Can Register for PM Kisan
If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late. Here’s how new farmers can register:
- Visit pmkisan.gov.in → click on “New Farmer Registration”.
- Enter your Aadhaar Number for verification.
- Fill in your personal, land, and bank details carefully.
- Submit the form for state-level approval.
You can also register at your nearest Common Service Center (CSC) or use the PM Kisan mobile app, which now supports face authentication for e-KYC — a feature that’s making the process smoother for elderly farmers.
What This Means for Farmers
For small and marginal farmers, these ₹2,000 installments may seem modest, but they make a real difference — whether it’s buying seeds, fertilizers, or just keeping families afloat.
If you’re still waiting, keep your documents updated and check your status regularly. The government’s system works batch-wise, so if not today, your turn is likely coming soon.
