As of November 18, 2025, millions of farmers across India are preparing for the 21st instalment of the PM Kisan scheme. The government has confirmed that eligible beneficiaries will receive a ₹2,000 payout on November 19, 2025.
To receive the funds, farmers must have completed their mandatory eKYC, linked their Aadhaar to their bank accounts, and ensured their land records are updated on the PM Kisan portal. The portal states that OTP-based eKYC, biometric-based eKYC, or face authentication-based eKYC are all accepted methods for verifying beneficiaries' identities.
Farmers can check their eligibility and status on the PM Kisan website. The scheme is open to Indian citizens who own cultivable land, are not pensioners receiving ₹10,000 or more per month, and have not filed income tax returns.
The PM Kisan initiative was launched in 2019 and has become the world's largest Direct Benefit Transfer program, providing ₹6,000 annually to small and marginal farmers in three equal instalments.
