PM Kisan Yojana Alert: Farmers Must Complete This Process by April 30 to Get 20th Installment
Lakhs of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 20th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. But before the next payout lands in their bank accounts, there’s a crucial task they must complete. The government has set a deadline that every eligible farmer needs to keep an eye on.
What is PM-KISAN Scheme?
Launched in 2019, PM-KISAN aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme:
- Eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments of ₹2,000.
- These payments are made every four months directly into the beneficiary's bank accounts.
- Till now, 19 installments have been disbursed under the scheme.
- The 20th installment is expected to be credited by June 2025.
New Requirement: Get Your Kisan ID Card Before April 30
The Agriculture Department has issued a fresh directive for all PM-KISAN beneficiaries — get your Kisan ID card made by April 30, 2025. This new ID will act as a key identifier for availing not just PM-KISAN benefits, but also other government schemes in the future.
Where and How to Get the Kisan ID Card?
Farmers can apply for the Kisan ID card by visiting:- Their nearest Agriculture Department office
- Local Revenue Department center
- Or the Public Service Center (CSC)
The Kisan ID will function like an Aadhaar card, storing vital details about the farmer, including land records and eligibility data. Having this ID is expected to streamline access to future benefits.
No ID, No Installment
Farmers failing to get their Kisan ID before the deadline may face issues in receiving the 20th installment. To ensure uninterrupted support under the PM-KISAN scheme, completing this step on time is essential.
If you’re a PM-KISAN beneficiary, don’t miss the April 30 deadline to secure your Kisan ID card. A small step today can ensure you continue to receive your rightful benefits without any delay.
