The 21st instalment of the PM-KISAN Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi) will be released by the Indian government on November 19, 2025. This installment will transfer the latest round of financial assistance to eligible farmer families across the country. The scheme provides a direct income support of ₹6,000 annually, disbursed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 every four months.
The PM-KISAN Yojana is a cornerstone of the government’s strategy to bolster agricultural income and improve the livelihoods of farmers. Since its launch in February 2019, the scheme has already disbursed a massive total of over ₹3.70 lakh crore (approximately ₹3.7 trillion) to more than 11 crore (110 million) farmer families.
The timely release of this 21st instalment is critical, as it provides a crucial financial injection to farmers, helping them manage expenses related to the ongoing Rabi (winter) sowing season and covering general domestic and agricultural needs. The scheme is entirely funded by the Central Government and serves as one of the world’s largest direct benefit transfer (DBT) programs.
