How PM Kisan Scheme Works?

Under the PM Kisan scheme, farmers get Rs 6,000 every year. This amount is given in three installments of Rs 2,000 each. The 22nd installment was released in March 2026, and now farmers are waiting for the next payment.

Installments are usually released every four months. Based on the previous schedule, the 23rd installment is expected between June and July 2026. However, the exact date may vary.

Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.
