PM-Kisan 22nd Installment Expected Soon: What Farmers Should Know About Dates, Eligibility and Status Check
With the 22nd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme approaching, millions of farmers across India are closely watching for the official announcement. While the government has yet to confirm the exact date, past disbursement trends offer a strong indication of when beneficiaries can expect the next transfer.
Looking at Past Installment Dates
A review of previous payment releases reveals a consistent pattern toward the end of February:
- In 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 19th installment on February 24.
- In 2024, the 16th installment was credited on February 28.
- In 2023, the 13th installment was transferred on February 27.
Based on this timeline, eligible farmers can reasonably anticipate that the 22nd installment will likely be credited during the final week of February.
Under the scheme, funds are transferred directly into beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, ensuring transparency and minimizing delays.
Farmers awaiting payment are advised to monitor updates on the official PM-Kisan portal: https://pmkisan.gov.in.
How to Check Your Name in the Beneficiary List
Farmers can verify their payment status and eligibility online by following these steps:
- Visit the official PM-Kisan website at pmkisan.gov.in.
- Click on the “Beneficiary List” option on the homepage.
- Select your state, district, sub-district, block, and village.

This process allows applicants to confirm whether their name appears among eligible recipients for the upcoming installment.
Who Is Eligible?
The PM-Kisan scheme primarily supports small and marginal farmers who own cultivable land registered in their name. Beneficiary identification is based on official land records.
However, certain categories are excluded from the scheme:
- Institutional landholders
- Income tax payers
- Serving or retired government employees above the prescribed pension threshold
- Professionals such as doctors, engineers, and lawyers
- Individuals without cultivable agricultural land
Eligibility is strictly determined through land ownership data and official records.
Documents and Compliance Checklist
To avoid delays or rejection of payment, beneficiaries must ensure the following:
- Aadhaar card is linked to their bank account
- e-KYC verification is completed
- Bank account details are accurate and up to date
- Land records are properly updated in government databases
Failure to comply with these requirements could result in payment delays or exclusion from the installment cycle.
As the 22nd installment nears, proactive verification can save time and prevent last-minute complications. For millions of farmers depending on this financial assistance, staying informed and compliant is key to ensuring that the support reaches them without interruption.
