Big News for Farmers
The wait is over for millions of farmers across India! The 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM Kisan) Yojana will bring ₹2000 directly to farmers’ bank accounts on August 2, 2025. This was announced through the official PM Kisan X handle, ending rumors about earlier dates in June or July. The money will be transferred during an event in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This scheme, started in 2019, gives ₹6000 yearly to small and marginal farmers in three parts to help with farming costs.
Why This Payment Matters
The PM Kisan Yojana supports over 9.7 crore farmers by giving them cash to buy seeds, fertilizers, or other needs. The 20th installment comes at a key time during the Kharif season when farmers need funds for sowing crops. The ₹2000 will be sent straight to bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), making it quick and safe. The 19th installment, paid on February 24, 2025, helped over 9.4 crore farmers with ₹20,500 crore, showing how big this scheme is for rural India.
How to Ensure You Get Paid
To get the ₹2000 without delay, farmers must complete a few steps. First, finish e-KYC on the PM Kisan website (pmkisan.gov.in) using Aadhaar OTP or face authentication. Second, link Aadhaar to your bank account, as payments won’t go through without this. Third, check your beneficiary status online by entering your Aadhaar or account number. Fourth, update land records at local revenue offices if needed. Fifth, ensure your mobile number is linked for alerts. Missing any step could stop the payment, so act fast before August 2, 2025.

Farmers can easily check if their payment is credited. Visit pmkisan.gov.in, click “Beneficiary Status” under Farmers Corner, and enter your Aadhaar or bank account number. Then click “Get Data” to see payment details. For help, use the toll-free helpline 155261 or email pmkisan-ict@gov.in. Here’s a quick guide:

Watch Out for Fake News
The Ministry of Agriculture warns farmers to avoid fake messages or links on social media about the scheme. Some websites and videos spread wrong dates or ask for personal details, which can lead to scams. Always trust official sources like the PM Kisan website or X handle for updates. If you face issues with past payments, contact the helpline or visit a Common Service Centre (CSC). Staying alert protects your money and data.
