New Delhi – Millions of Indian farmers are holding their breath as the wait for the 20th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana continues. The much-anticipated tranche of ₹2,000, designed to provide financial support to eligible farmers, is reportedly slated for release on July 18th.

While the previous installment was disbursed in February, the current release has faced delays, causing concern among farmers who rely on the funds. According to unconfirmed reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to release the installment during a public meeting in Motihari, East Champaran, on July 18th. If confirmed, this would directly transfer funds to the bank accounts of over 9.8 crore farmers across the country.

Farmers are advised to ensure their records are up-to-date on the PM Kisan portal (https://pmkisan.gov.in) to avoid any disbursement issues. This includes linking their bank accounts with Aadhaar, activating the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) option, and verifying their Aadhaar seeding status. The portal also allows farmers to update their land records.

To check their beneficiary status, farmers can visit the PM KISAN website, navigate to the “Payment Success” tab, click on the “Dashboard” option, and enter their state, district, sub-district, and Panchayat details to generate a report and view the list of beneficiaries.
