PM Kisan 24th Installment: Millions of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the release of the 24th installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. As one of the government’s flagship agricultural support initiatives, the scheme provides vital financial assistance to small and marginal farming families to help manage agricultural expenses and domestic needs.
If you are a registered beneficiary, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming 24th installment, mandatory compliance requirements, and how to track your payment status.
What is the PM-KISAN Scheme?
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible landholding farmer families receive a total financial benefit of ₹6,000 per year. This amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 every four months, credited directly into the bank accounts of beneficiaries via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
With previous installments successfully transferred, the 24th installment will deliver the next ₹2,000 boost directly to millions of eligible farmers across the country.
Key Requirements to Receive the 24th Installment
To ensure uninterrupted payment credit, the Ministry of Agriculture has made three mandatory verification steps compulsory for all farmers:
- e-KYC Completion: Farmers must complete their e-KYC process. This can be done online using OTP verification via the PM-KISAN portal/app or offline using biometric authentication at a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).
- Land Seeding (Land Details Verification): Beneficiaries must ensure their land records are verified and linked with their PM-KISAN profile in the state portal.
- Aadhaar-Seeded Bank Account: The beneficiary’s bank account must be active and linked with their Aadhaar card, with DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) enabled.
How to Check Your PM Kisan Beneficiary Status
You can easily check if your name is on the approved list for the 24th installment from your smartphone or computer by following these simple steps:
