Under this 20th installment, eligible farmers are to receive ₹2,000 in the direct benefit transfer mode, which is critical short-term aid.
The previous 19th installment of PM-KISAN was transferred successfully on February 24, 2025, benefiting more than 9.8 crore farmers, including 2.4 crore women farmers. With the next installment about to take off, let us see the expected release date, eligibility criteria, and the procedure to check the beneficiary status.
PM Kisan 20th Installment Expected Date: June 2025
Until now, the specific date for the 20th installment has not been formally declared, but trends from the previous releases indicate that it should be credited somewhere around the middle or toward the end of June 2025. Payment is usually made by the government on a quarterly basis; therefore, if all the paperwork is in order, they should fund the accounts fairly on time.
