For farmers enrolled in the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana who have not yet verified their land records and completed e-KYC, it’s crucial to do so promptly. Otherwise, they may miss out on the benefits of the upcoming 17th installment. Let’s find out when the next installment will be credited and what steps need to be taken.
Next Installment Expected in June
As per the rules of the PM Kisan Yojana, the first installment is issued between April and July, the second between August and November, and the third between December and March. In other words, the 17th installment is expected to be issued between April and July. Since there are Lok Sabha elections scheduled between April and June and the Model Code of Conduct is in effect, there is a possibility that the next installment may be disbursed in June, as election results will be announced on June 4th and a new government will be formed. However, official confirmation of the final date is pending. For the latest updates, farmers should keep an eye on the official PM Kisan website.
Ensure Timely Update of Documents to Avoid Delays
It’s essential for eligible farmers to have their bank accounts linked with Aadhaar and complete land verification through e-KYC. Failure to do so may result in the delay or non-receipt of the next installment. Additionally, any incorrect information provided during enrollment should be rectified promptly to avoid missing out on the benefits.
