PM Kisan 2026: Is Your ₹2,000 Payment at Risk?

The 23rd PM Kisan instalment of ₹2,000 is expected around June–July 2026. But farmers who haven't completed e-KYC may miss the payment entirely. Here's what you must do before the deadline.

Here's what happened: PM Kisan Samman Nidhi pays ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families, split into three instalments of ₹2,000 each.. The 23rd instalment is expected to be released around June–July 2026, based on the historical pattern of payments every four months.. e-KYC is now mandatory for all beneficiaries — without it, the payment is blocked regardless of eligibility status..

What you should do: Complete e-KYC immediately at pmkisan.gov.in using OTP-based Aadhaar authentication, biometric verification at a Common Service Centre, or face authentication via the PM Kisan mobile app.. Check your payment status on the PM Kisan portal under 'Beneficiary Status' — enter your Aadhaar or mobile number to confirm your last instalment was received.. Ensure your Aadhaar is linked to your bank account and that your bank account details on the PM Kisan portal are correct and active — wrong account details are the #1 reason payments fail..

If your e-KYC shows 'pending' even after completion, visit your nearest Common Service Centre with your Aadhaar card — CSC operators can force-sync your verification status directly with the PM Kisan database.
