Launch of the 22nd PM-KISAN Installment
Today, March 13, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to unveil the 22nd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in Guwahati. This initiative will see financial aid directly deposited into the bank accounts of eligible farmers through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. Farmers anticipating the Rs 2,000 payment from this installment can easily confirm their eligibility by checking the updated PM-KISAN beneficiary list online. This allows them to verify their status and view the list of beneficiaries in their village using a mobile device from the comfort of their homes.
Steps to Verify PM-KISAN Beneficiary Status
Farmers can follow these simple steps to check their names in the beneficiary list:
- Access the official PM-KISAN website: pmkisan.gov.in
- Click on the “Beneficiary List” option on the homepage
- Select your state, district, and tehsil
- Choose the block and village from the dropdown menu
- Click “Get Report” to view the complete list
If a farmer's name is listed, the Rs 2,000 installment will be credited directly to their bank account.
Overview of the PM-KISAN Scheme
Initiated in February 2019, the PM-KISAN program aims to provide financial assistance to small and marginal farmers throughout India. Eligible farmers receive Rs 6,000 annually, distributed in three equal installments of Rs 2,000 via direct bank transfers. The previous installment was released on November 19, 2025, in Coimbatore, benefiting over 90 million farmers with total transfers surpassing Rs 18,000 crore. The 20th installment, issued in August 2025, reached around 98 million farmers, including approximately 24 million women beneficiaries. This scheme is designed to assist farmers in acquiring essential agricultural inputs, enhancing crop management, and reducing reliance on informal loans.
Enhanced Digital Verification
In recent years, the government has bolstered the digital framework of the scheme to enhance transparency and verification processes. The PM-KISAN mobile application, introduced in 2020, allows farmers to register, monitor installment payments, and complete necessary e-KYC verification. The scheme celebrated its seventh anniversary on February 24, 2026, marking a significant achievement in the government's commitment to providing direct income support to India's agricultural community.
