Under the PM Kisan Yojana, the Modi government transfers Rs. 6,000 annually to the bank accounts of landholding farmer families. This amount is disbursed in three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 each every four months.
PM Kisan Yojana 17th Installment Date
The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is one of the significant initiatives of the central government. Under this scheme, millions of farmers receive Rs. 6,000 annually, divided into three equal installments of Rs. 2,000 every four months. This money is transferred directly to the farmers’ accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This benefit is available to farmers who own up to 2 hectares of land and are citizens of India. As of now, the 16th installment has been disbursed, and the wait for the 17th installment is on.
Expected Release Date of the 17th Installment
According to the rules of the PM Kisan Yojana, the first installment is released between April and July, the second installment between August and November, and the third installment between December and March. Considering that voting for the Lok Sabha elections will take place between May and June, and the Model Code of Conduct is in place, there is a possibility that the next installment could be released in June.
Results are expected to be announced on June 4th, and the formation of a new government will follow. However, with the approval of the Election Commission, the Modi government might release the installment sooner to benefit from it during the elections. Currently, no official confirmation has been provided regarding the final date. Farmers are advised to keep an eye on the official PM Kisan website for updates.
