PM Kisan 21st Installment Before Diwali, But All Farmers Will Not Get ₹2000 – Here's Why

New Delhi: Farmers across India are eagerly waiting for the 21st installment of Rs 2000 under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. While a few farmers have already received the payment, the majority are still waiting. Interestingly, the government has already transferred the amount in advance to around 27 lakh farmers in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand due to the recent floods that caused major agricultural damage in these states.

When Will the Next PM Kisan Payment Arrive?

Although the government has not officially announced a date, media reports suggest that the 21st installment is likely to be credited before Diwali, possibly in the last week of October 2025. Farmers who have completed all formalities may get the benefit soon, but others may miss out if certain conditions are not met.

Who Might Not Get the Rs 2000?

If a farmer has not completed the e-KYC process, or if their bank account is not linked with Aadhaar, they may not receive the installment. Other common issues include incorrect IFSC codes, closed bank accounts, or wrong personal details provided during registration. In such cases, the installment will not be processed. Farmers are advised to check and update their details immediately to avoid missing out.

How to Complete e-KYC and Check Status

Farmers can complete their e-KYC online through the official website pmkisan.gov.in using Aadhaar and OTP. Alternatively, they can visit the nearest CSC center or bank for biometric e-KYC. To check whether they will receive the money, they can also check their beneficiary status online. If their name appears in the PM Kisan Beneficiary List, they are eligible for the Rs 2000 installment.

Overall, farmers who have completed e-KYC, submitted correct documents, and ensured Aadhaar-bank linking can expect the Rs 2000 payment before Diwali. However, those with errors or missing information may not receive the installment. So it’s essential to check your status and complete all formalities without delay.
