PM-KISAN 24th Instalment: Is Your ₹2,000 at Risk?

The 24th PM-KISAN instalment of ₹2,000 is pending. Farmers must complete e-KYC and land verification or their payment gets blocked. Here is what to check right now.

Here's what happened: The government has not yet announced the official release date for the 24th PM-KISAN instalment, but eligible farmer families receive ₹2,000 per instalment — ₹6,000 annually — directly into their bank accounts.. e-KYC is mandatory for every beneficiary; without it, the instalment is withheld regardless of how long the farmer has been on the scheme.. Eligibility checks include land ownership records, Aadhaar-bank account linking, and exclusion criteria such as income-tax filing status or government employment in the family..

What you should do: Visit pmkisan.gov.in, click 'Beneficiary Status', enter your Aadhaar or registration number, and confirm your e-KYC shows as 'Yes' before the instalment drops.. Complete e-KYC via OTP on the PM-KISAN portal, biometric scan at your nearest Common Service Centre, or face authentication on the PM-KISAN mobile app — pick whichever is fastest.. Check that your current, active bank account number is correctly updated in the PM-KISAN database — a closed or changed account will cause the ₹2,000 transfer to fail even after e-KYC is done..

If your beneficiary status shows 'FTO is generated and payment confirmation is pending', your money is already in transit — wait 3-5 working days before raising a grievance.
