PM Kisan Yojana 24th installment expected in October 2026

The 24th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is expected to be released in October 2026. While the government has not officially announced a specific date, the disbursement follows a four-month cycle after the 23rd installment was released on June 20, 2026.

Under this scheme, eligible farmer families receive Rs 6,000 annually, distributed in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 via direct benefit transfer to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. The previous installment transferred over Rs 18,880 crore to more than 9.44 crore farmers.

To ensure eligibility and avoid payment delays, farmers must complete mandatory e-KYC on the official government portal and ensure their bank account and Aadhaar details are accurate. New registrants are required to obtain a Farmer ID through a CSC center or state agriculture portal.
