The wait for the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) continues for farmers across India. Earlier, there were hopes that the payment might arrive during Holi, but the festival has passed, and many beneficiaries are still waiting for their ₹2,000.
Here’s everything you need to know about the next installment, including the expected date and how to check your status.
When Will the 22nd Installment of PM Kisan Be Released?
According to government sources, the ₹2,000 under the PM-KISAN scheme could be credited to farmers’ bank accounts by the end of next week. The central government reportedly plans to release the money immediately after Holi.
Farmers are eagerly awaiting the 22nd installment, which will continue the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system where funds are sent straight to their accounts.
