PM Kisan Yojana: 18th Installment Expected In November 2024 – Here’s How To Apply

The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a significant initiative by the Indian government, is poised for its 18th installment, following the recent release of the 17th installment in June 2024. The 18th installment is anticipated to be disbursed in November 2024, providing much-needed financial support to farmers across the country.

Overview of PM Kisan Yojana
Under the PM Kisan scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹2,000 every four months, amounting to ₹6,000 annually. This financial assistance is delivered in three installments each year: April to July, August to November, and December to March. The scheme was launched in February 2019 by then Finance Minister Piyush Goyal and has since become one of the world’s largest Direct Benefit Transfer programs, aimed at alleviating the financial burden on farmers.

Recent Developments
The 17th installment, worth over ₹21,000 crore, was released on June 18, 2024, benefiting more than 9.26 crore farmers. As farmers await the next installment, it is crucial for them to ensure their registration is up to date and that they have completed their e-KYC, which is now mandatory. The e-KYC process can be completed through the PM Kisan portal or at the nearest Common Service Centers (CSCs).
