PM Kisan 22nd Installment Released : Millions of farmers across India have received good news as the 22nd installment under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has been released. The latest installment was transferred directly to farmers’ bank accounts during an official event held in Guwahati, Assam. Under this installment, eligible farmers received ₹2000 as financial assistance. According to government data, more than 9.32 crore farmers across the country have benefited from this payment, providing much-needed support for agricultural and household expenses.
Women Farmers Also Benefited from the Scheme
A large number of women farmers have also benefited from the latest installment of the PM Kisan scheme. As per available information, over 2.15 crore female farmers received the financial assistance in this installment. This shows that the scheme is not only supporting farmers in general but is also playing an important role in strengthening the financial independence of women in rural areas. In many farming households, women are actively involved in agricultural work, so this support can help improve their financial stability.
What the PM Kisan Scheme Is All About
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one of the major welfare schemes launched by the central government to provide financial assistance to farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmer families receive ₹6000 per year as direct financial support. Instead of giving the amount at once, the government distributes it in three equal installments of ₹2000 each throughout the year. The money is transferred directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, which helps maintain transparency and reduces the chances of delays or middlemen.
Huge Amount Distributed to Farmers So Far
With the release of the 22nd installment, the total amount distributed under the PM Kisan scheme has reached a very large figure. Reports indicate that more than ₹4.27 lakh crore has already been transferred to farmers’ bank accounts since the scheme began. The primary objective of this initiative is to support small and marginal farmers who often face financial challenges while managing farming expenses. Over time, the scheme has become an important source of support for millions of farming families across India.
Overview of Previous Installments
The government has been consistently releasing installments under this scheme over the past few years. For example, in February 2025, the 19th installment was released, benefiting around 9.8 crore farmers with a total amount of about ₹22,000 crore. Later, in August 2025, the 20th installment provided approximately ₹20,500 crore to around 9.7 crore farmers. In November 2025, the 21st installment was released, offering nearly ₹18,000 crore to around nine crore farmers. Now, the 22nd installment continues this support, ensuring farmers receive regular financial assistance.
e-KYC Is Mandatory for Beneficiaries
To continue receiving benefits under the PM Kisan scheme, farmers must complete the e-KYC process. The government has made this step mandatory to ensure that the funds reach the correct beneficiaries. Farmers can complete OTP-based e-KYC through the official PM Kisan portal. Alternatively, biometric e-KYC can be completed by visiting the nearest Common Service Center (CSC). The government has also introduced a mobile application that allows farmers to complete the e-KYC process from home using facial recognition technology, making the process easier and more accessible.
Easy Ways to Check Payment Status
Farmers who want to confirm whether they have received the 22nd installment can easily check their payment status online. The official PM Kisan website provides a feature called “Know Your Status,” where farmers can enter their Aadhaar number, mobile number, or registration number to check their payment details. This online system helps farmers quickly verify whether the installment has been credited to their bank account without needing to visit government offices.
