PM Kisan Yojana 19th Installment Update
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan) is a flagship initiative by the Government of India aimed at providing financial support to small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
Since its inception, the government has successfully disbursed 18 installments to millions of farmers. The 18th installment was released on October 5, 2024, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Maharashtra. With over four months elapsed, anticipation is building for the next payout.
19th Installment to Be Released on February 24, 2025
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has officially confirmed that the 19th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana will be credited to beneficiaries’ accounts on February 24, 2025. This announcement brings relief to farmers eagerly waiting for their next financial aid.
Can Both Father and Son Receive Benefits?
A common question among farmers is whether both father and son from the same family can avail benefits under PM-Kisan. As per the scheme’s guidelines, only one member per family is eligible for the financial assistance. The scheme applies solely to the individual who owns the agricultural land. If land ownership is in the father’s name, the son cannot claim benefits separately and vice versa.
e-KYC and Land Record Verification – Crucial for 19th Installment
Farmers must ensure they have completed their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) and land record verification to receive the upcoming installment. Those who fail to update these records may be disqualified from receiving payments.
Key Takeaways for Farmers:
- 19th installment to be released on February 24, 2025
- Only one member per family is eligible under PM-Kisan
- e-KYC and land record verification are mandatory for installment release
Farmers should act promptly to ensure their documents are updated to continue benefiting from this government initiative.
