What Is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central government scheme that provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to eligible farmer families across India. The amount is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each — directly into the farmer’s bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
The scheme was launched in February 2019 and has since become one of the largest farmer welfare programmes in the world, covering over 14 crore (140 million) farmers across India. Every four months, a new installment is released, making June 20, 2026 one of the most important dates for rural India this month.
PM Kisan 23rd Installment Date — June 20, 2026
The 23rd installment of PM Kisan is scheduled to be released on June 20, 2026. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to formally release the funds, which will be transferred simultaneously to the bank accounts of all eligible beneficiaries across the country.
Previous installments have followed a pattern of being released every four months. The 22nd installment was released in February 2026, and the 23rd installment in June 2026 continues this schedule.
If you are a registered and verified beneficiary, the ₹2,000 will appear in your bank account within 24–48 hours of the official release date.
