PM Kisan installment list: 1st to 24th

PM-KISAN pays eligible farmer families ₹2,000 per installment, three times a year. Since the scheme began, 24 installments have been released. The most recent, the 24th installment, was released on 30 October 2026 from Banaskantha, Gujarat, when more than ₹18,690 crore reached over 9.34 crore farmers. In total, more than ₹4.64 lakh crore has been paid out through 24 installments.

How installment periods work

Each financial year (April to March) is split into three four-month periods, and one ₹2,000 installment belongs to each:

The very first installment covered 1 December 2018 to 31 March 2019. The 2nd covered 1 April to 31 July 2019, the 3rd 1 August to 30 November 2019, and the pattern has continued since.

The date in the table is the day the Prime Minister released the installment nationally, usually with the press of a button at a public event or by video conference. It is not the exact day every farmer’s bank shows the credit. Money for the same period continues to reach farmers in later batches, for example after their eKYC or land seeding is completed.

Latest: the 24th installment

The 23rd installment was released on 20 June 2026 at Tarakeswar, Hooghly, West Bengal — a day celebrated as “PM KISAN Utsav Diwas” — with over ₹18,880 crore going to more than 9.44 crore farmers, including 2.18 crore women. The 22nd was released on 13 March 2026 at Guwahati, Assam, with over ₹18,640 crore going to 9.32 crore farmers, including more than 2.15 crore women.

Full installment history

Installments 2 to 5 were paid in batches during their periods, so they are listed as “Paid during period” instead of with a single national release date.

Filter by year or place

Each release date links to the Press Information Bureau release for that event where one exists. Installments 8 and 9 were announced on the PM-KISAN portal, and every event is also listed on the Prime Minister’s events calendar.

Amounts at recent releases

Farmers paid in each period

The official portal keeps a running count of farmers paid for each four-month period. These figures can be higher than the number paid on release day, because farmers whose problems are fixed later are paid for the same period afterwards.

The highest count so far was in December–March 2023-24, when more than 11.54 crore farmers were paid. The rise followed a saturation drive launched in November 2023 under the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra that added over 1 crore eligible farmers, and a further 25 lakh farmers added in the first 100 days of the government formed in June 2024.

What about the 25th installment?

The 25th installment belongs to the December–March 2026-27 period. As of 12 November 2026, the Government had not announced its date. Past December–March installments were released on 24 February 2025 (19th) and 13 March 2026 (22nd), but those dates do not fix the next one.

When the date is announced, it appears on the PM-KISAN portal home page and in a PIB release. Until then, the best preparation is to check that your eKYC, land seeding and Aadhaar-bank seeding all show Yes. Be careful with videos and messages that announce a “confirmed” date or ask you to click a link to “register for the 25th installment” — there is no separate registration for each installment.

Missed an installment?

If you did not receive an installment that others received, the official FAQ explains that beneficiaries whose names were uploaded in a period are entitled to the installment for that period and later ones. If you missed payments for any reason other than being rejected under the exclusion rules, you are entitled to all due installments once the cause of delay is removed.

Common causes are pending eKYC, land seeding showing No, an account that is not Aadhaar-seeded with NPCI, a name mismatch, or a case withheld for physical verification. Our page on PM Kisan payment not received goes through each one.

Totals released so far

Women farmers have received more than ₹1.06 lakh crore under PM-KISAN, and nearly one in four beneficiaries is a woman.

How a release reaches your account

Every release follows the same path. States verify and upload beneficiary details; the portal validates Aadhaar and bank details and screens out ineligible records; data goes to the Public Financial Management System for account verification; fund transfer orders and sanction orders are issued; and payments are processed through sponsor banks and NPCI into farmers’ accounts. A national release day starts this flow for the batch that is ready. Farmers whose records are fixed later are paid in subsequent batches for the same period.

Where release dates are announced

The Government announces each national release a few days in advance through a Press Information Bureau release and a notice on the PM-KISAN portal home page, and the event is listed on the Prime Minister’s events calendar. On the day, the money is released for the batch that is ready. Treat any date you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it appears on one of these.

Your own record shows which installments reached you and on which date; use Know Your Status for that.
