Twenty installments of the PM Kisan Yojana have been released so far. The last, the 20th installment, was released on August 2, 2025. Farmers are now eagerly awaiting the 21st installment. This installment was expected to arrive before Diwali, but no official date has been announced yet.

21st Installment Information Not Updated on Website
The official website of the PM Kisan Yojana, pmkisan.gov.in, has not yet updated any information regarding the 21st installment. Only the 20th installment is currently available on the website. Typically, the government updates the website and issues a press release a few days before releasing the installment, but this time, that hasn’t happened.
When Could 21st Installment Arrive?
Based on the scheduled installment interval, one installment is released every four months. The 20th installment was received in August, so it’s expected that the 21st installment could be released in November 2025. However, due to a lack of official confirmation, farmers are still confused.
How Is This Installment Received?
Each installment of the PM Kisan Yojana is released by the Prime Minister during a special event. PM Modi also interacts with farmers on this occasion. The installment amount is transferred directly to farmers’ bank accounts, eliminating any middlemen.
