PM-KISAN pays eligible farmer families ₹2,000 per installment, three times a year. Since the scheme began, 24 installments have been released. The most recent, the 24th installment, was released on 30 October 2026 from Banaskantha, Gujarat, when more than ₹18,690 crore reached over 9.34 crore farmers. In total, more than ₹4.64 lakh crore has been paid out through 24 installments.

How installment periods work
Each financial year (April to March) is split into three four-month periods, and one ₹2,000 installment belongs to each:
| Period | Months | Installment |
|---|---|---|
| Apr–Jul | April to July | 1st of the year |
| Aug–Nov | August to November | 2nd of the year |
| Dec–Mar | December to March | 3rd of the year |
The very first installment covered 1 December 2018 to 31 March 2019. The 2nd covered 1 April to 31 July 2019, the 3rd 1 August to 30 November 2019, and the pattern has continued since.
The date in the table is the day the Prime Minister released the installment nationally, usually with the press of a button at a public event or by video conference. It is not the exact day every farmer’s bank shows the credit. Money for the same period continues to reach farmers in later batches, for example after their eKYC or land seeding is completed.

Farmers paid in each period
The official portal keeps a running count of farmers paid for each four-month period. These figures can be higher than the number paid on release day, because farmers whose problems are fixed later are paid for the same period afterwards.
| Period | Farmers paid |
|---|---|
| Aug–Nov 2026-27 | 9,39,06,354 |
| Apr–Jul 2026-27 | 9,57,71,839 |

The highest count so far was in December–March 2023-24, when more than 11.54 crore farmers were paid. The rise followed a saturation drive launched in November 2023 under the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra that added over 1 crore eligible farmers, and a further 25 lakh farmers added in the first 100 days of the government formed in June 2024.
What about the 25th installment?
The 25th installment belongs to the December–March 2026-27 period. As of 12 November 2026, the Government had not announced its date. Past December–March installments were released on 24 February 2025 (19th) and 13 March 2026 (22nd), but those dates do not fix the next one.
When the date is announced, it appears on the PM-KISAN portal home page and in a PIB release. Until then, the best preparation is to check that your eKYC, land seeding and Aadhaar-bank seeding all show Yes. Be careful with videos and messages that announce a “confirmed” date or ask you to click a link to “register for the 25th installment” — there is no separate registration for each installment.
Missed an installment?
If you did not receive an installment that others received, the official FAQ explains that beneficiaries whose names were uploaded in a period are entitled to the installment for that period and later ones. If you missed payments for any reason other than being rejected under the exclusion rules, you are entitled to all due installments once the cause of delay is removed.
Common causes are pending eKYC, land seeding showing No, an account that is not Aadhaar-seeded with NPCI, a name mismatch, or a case withheld for physical verification. Our page on PM Kisan payment not received goes through each one.
Totals released so far
| Milestone | Total paid out |
|---|---|
| After 19 installments | ₹3.69 lakh crore |
| After 20 installments | Over ₹3.70 lakh crore |
| After 23 installments | Over ₹4.47 lakh crore |
| After 24 installments | Over ₹4.64 lakh crore |
Women farmers have received more than ₹1.06 lakh crore under PM-KISAN, and nearly one in four beneficiaries is a woman.
How a release reaches your account
Every release follows the same path. States verify and upload beneficiary details; the portal validates Aadhaar and bank details and screens out ineligible records; data goes to the Public Financial Management System for account verification; fund transfer orders and sanction orders are issued; and payments are processed through sponsor banks and NPCI into farmers’ accounts. A national release day starts this flow for the batch that is ready. Farmers whose records are fixed later are paid in subsequent batches for the same period.
Where release dates are announced
The Government announces each national release a few days in advance through a Press Information Bureau release and a notice on the PM-KISAN portal home page, and the event is listed on the Prime Minister’s events calendar. On the day, the money is released for the batch that is ready. Treat any date you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it appears on one of these.

FAQ
When will the 25th PM Kisan installment come?
No date had been announced as of 12 November 2026. It belongs to the December–March 2026-27 period. Watch the official portal and the PIB for the announcement.
Why did I get fewer installments than the number released?
You receive installments from the period in which your name was uploaded, and only when eKYC, land seeding and bank seeding are complete. Check your record in Know Your Status.
Do missed installments get paid later?
Yes, if the delay was caused by something other than an exclusion rejection. The official FAQ says due installments are paid once the cause is resolved.
How much has PM Kisan paid in total?
More than ₹4.64 lakh crore through 24 installments, as of 30 October 2026.
Is the 24th installment ₹2,000 or ₹4,000?
Each installment is ₹2,000 per family. A family may receive more in one go only if earlier due installments are released together.
Do I need to register again for each installment?
No. Registration is one time. You stay in the scheme while you remain eligible and your records are in order.
