The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana is one of the most important government schemes for farmers in India. It was started by the Government of India to give financial help to small and marginal farmers. This scheme helps farmers to meet their basic farming and household needs. Recently, there is good news for farmers as the next installment of PM Kisan Yojana is going to be released soon. Let’s understand in simple words how you can get this benefit and what you should do to receive the next payment without any problem.
What is PM Kisan Yojana?
PM Kisan Yojana was launched in February 2019 by the Government of India. Under this scheme, every eligible farmer gets ₹6,000 per year, which is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. The amount is directly transferred to the bank account of the farmer through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
This scheme is mainly for small and marginal farmers who own up to 2 hectares of land. It helps them to buy seeds, fertilizers, and other farming materials, and also supports their family expenses.
Next Installment (Kist) Details
According to recent updates, the 17th installment of PM Kisan Yojana will soon be released by the government. Farmers who are registered under this scheme and have completed their e-KYC and land verification will receive the next payment in their bank account.
The amount of ₹2,000 will be credited directly to the registered bank account of eligible farmers. Usually, the government releases installments in the months of April, August, and December every year.
So, farmers are advised to check their eligibility and update their details before the next installment is released to make sure they get the money on time.
