Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) has become a financial lifeline for millions of farmers across the country. Under this scheme, eligible farmers are given Rs 6,000 annually in three equal installments deposited directly into their bank accounts. Lakhs of farmers of the country have already taken advantage of this government scheme. The government had released the 21st installment last month, in November. Now, many farmers are waiting to know when the government will release the next, 22nd instalment. However, it is important to note that farmers will have to complete some work before the 22nd installment is released. Those farmers who have not completed these works, their 22nd installment may be delayed. Let us know when the 22nd installment can be released and what needs to be completed before that.
Next installment expected on this date
After receiving the 21st installment, lakhs of farmers across the country are eagerly waiting for the 22nd installment of PM-KISAN scheme. According to media reports, the central government may release the next installment in February. However, the government has not yet made any official announcement regarding any specific date. Looking at the pattern of previous installments, most of the installments have been transferred around February. Therefore, it is believed that the money may reach the accounts of farmers this month also. Farmers are advised to complete the necessary work on time.
Complete these important tasks before the 22nd installment
E-KYC is the most important condition to avail the benefits of PM-KISAN scheme without any interruption. The 22nd installment of those farmers who have not yet completed their e-KYC may be withheld. Farmers can complete this process themselves through OTP verification on pmkisan.gov.in website. Apart from this, e-KYC can also be done by visiting the nearest common service centre. It is also necessary that the bank account is linked to Aadhaar. Sometimes money transfer fails due to DBT not being activated or Aadhaar not being linked. Therefore, it is important to check with your bank beforehand to ensure that your account is linked to Aadhaar and DBT is active. Also, it is very important to check the wrong information and status.
Providing wrong information during the application process for PM Kisan Yojana is a major reason for delay in installments. If there is any mistake in the spelling of your name, Aadhaar number, bank account number or land records, you will not get the 22nd installment. If you think there may be an error in your application, get it fixed as soon as possible. Farmers can also check the status of their installment themselves. For this, they will have to go to the beneficiary status section on the official website of PM Kisan and enter their Aadhaar number or registration number. This will clearly indicate whether your installment is being processed or is stuck due to some reason.
