When you’re struggling to put food on the table or keep your crops alive, every rupee counts. And if you’re a farmer in India, that ₹2,000 from the PM Kisan Yojana 2025 isn’t just money — it’s hope. But if you’re still waiting for your next installment or unsure whether your eKYC is complete, you’re not alone. Many farmers are in the same boat — confused, frustrated, and just looking for answers. Let’s walk through everything you need to know — like you’re talking to a friend who’s already done it.
What Is PM Kisan Yojana?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan Yojana) is a lifeline for small and marginal farmers across India. Launched by the central government, this scheme provides ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmers.
Here’s how it works:
- Total Amount: ₹6,000 per year
- Installments: Paid in 3 parts of ₹2,000 each
- Payment Method: Direct Bank Transfer (DBT)
This money may not solve every problem, but for many, it’s the only steady financial support they get.

When Will the 20th PM Kisan Yojana Installment Be Released?
If you’ve been counting the days, you’re not the only one. The 20th installment — which is the 2nd payment of 2025 — is likely to be released in June 2025. Still, this date hasn’t been officially confirmed, so it’s best to keep checking the official PM-KISAN portal or news updates.
Tentative Schedule:
| Installment Number | Expected Month | Year |
|---|---|---|
| 20th Installment | June | 2025 |
| 21st Installment | October | 2025 |
If you haven’t received the money yet — don’t panic. But you do need to ensure your eKYC is done.
Still Haven’t Done eKYC? You Might Miss Your Payment
Here’s the truth: If your eKYC isn’t complete, you won’t receive your money — no matter how long you’ve waited.
