PM Kisan 22nd instalment date: The 22nd instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is due. Now, the government has announced the date of releasing the next installment of Rs 2,000 on PM-KISAN. Eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) under this scheme, in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each.

Since its launch on February 24, 2019, the government has released 21 instalments.

A look at the data, which reveals a clear pattern, with the first instalment of each year usually credited in January or February.

PM-KISAN 22nd instalment release time and date

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 22nd instalment of PM-Kisan on March 13, 2026, at 5:00 pm from Guwahati, Assam, transferring funds to the accounts of millions of farmers across the country with the push of a remote button.

The first instalment of each cycle has been released over the past few years as follows:

The scheme was launched on February 24, 2019.
2020 (December-March cycle) - January 2, 2020
2021 (December-March cycle) - December 25, 2020
2022 (December-March cycle) - January 1, 2022
2023 (December-March cycle) - February 27, 2023
2024 (December-March cycle) - February 28, 2024
2025 (December-March cycle) - February 24, 2025

Following this pattern, the government has typically credited the December-March instalment in January or February, and sometimes it has extended to late February. This year, the announcement has been slightly delayed compared to previous cycles. However, given the consistent trend, it is likely that the 22nd instalment will be released in early or mid-March 2026.

How to check your name in the updated list?

• Visit the official PM-Kisan website.
• Click on "Know Your Status" in Farmers Corner.
• Enter your registration number and captcha code.
• Check whether e-KYC is showing "Yes"
• Land seeding is showing "Yes"
• Aadhaar Bank Seeding is showing "Yes"
• If any of these are showing "No", take immediate action to correct them.

What if you missed previous instalments?

If your name was previously removed due to incomplete verification, but you have now completed e-KYC and corrected your land or Aadhaar details, you may be eligible again. Once your status is corrected and verified by officials, future instalments may resume. In some cases, pending instalments may also be credited after approval, depending on eligibility and the verification timeline.

Although the government has not yet officially announced the date of the 22nd instalment, trends over the past seven years clearly indicate that the payment could be released sometime in early or mid-March 2026. The current delay appears to be related to stringent verification measures aimed at removing ineligible beneficiaries and ensuring the integrity of the scheme.
