PM Kisan Yojana 24th Installment: There is significant news for farmers awaiting the 24th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Many farmers have not yet received the ₹2,000 from the 23rd installment. Payments were stalled for some due to technical issues, while others had incomplete documentation or pending e-KYC. Consequently, the biggest question on farmers' minds is: if the previous installment was missed, will the next one also be held up? And will they receive the ₹2,000 from the previous installment along with the next one?

If your 23rd installment was stalled for any reason, you might receive the amount for the previous installment along with the next one. In such cases, some farmers could receive ₹4,000 directly into their accounts instead of the usual ₹2,000.

Which farmers might receive ₹4,000?
Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually. This amount is transferred directly to their bank accounts in three installments of ₹2,000 each. However, not all farmers will receive ₹4,000 in the 24th installment; this amount applies to eligible farmers whose 23rd installment was held up due to technical or other reasons. If the 23rd installment was stalled but all necessary formalities have now been completed, the previous ₹2,000 amount may be disbursed alongside the ₹2,000 for the next installment.

According to the PM Kisan Yojana rules, once the issue causing the delay is resolved, the withheld installment and any subsequent outstanding installments will be released together. This means you will be fully entitled to receive the benefits of the previous installment along with all upcoming installments.

Reasons why installment payments might get stalled
There can be several reasons for a farmer's installment being held up. The most common reason is the failure to complete e-KYC. Additionally, payments may get stalled due to issues such as the lack of land verification (land seeding), discrepancies between Aadhaar and bank account details, or incorrect bank information. If your application contains errors regarding your name, account number, IFSC code, or other details, it is essential to have them corrected.

**Complete e-KYC to receive the next installment on time**
e-KYC is mandatory to avail the benefits of the PM Kisan scheme. Farmers who have not completed their e-KYC will not receive the next installment. Farmers can complete the e-KYC process by visiting the official PM Kisan portal or a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).

**Land seeding is also essential**
If you have completed your e-KYC but still haven't received the payment, check your land seeding status. Your land records must correctly match the government records. If there is an issue with land seeding, contact your local *Patwari*, *Lekhpal*, or the relevant revenue official to verify your land records.

**Check Aadhaar and bank account details**
PM Kisan funds are transferred directly to bank accounts via DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). Therefore, it is crucial that your bank account is linked to Aadhaar and DBT is active. Errors in bank account details can also cause the installment to be held up. Additionally, accurate information regarding the Farmer ID and your name in government records is required under the scheme.

**When will the 24th PM Kisan installment be released?**
The government has not yet announced an official date for the 24th installment of the PM Kisan scheme. However, based on the pattern of a four-month interval between previous installments, the 24th installment is expected to be released in October 2026. The exact date will only be confirmed following an official government announcement.

**How ​​to check if you will receive the next installment**
Farmers can check their status by visiting the official PM Kisan website and using the 'Know Your Status' option. After entering the registration number, you can view details such as e-KYC, land seeding, and eligibility status. If 'No' appears next to any of these, it indicates that a required step has not been completed; ensure you rectify this promptly.

**What to do if you haven't received the 23rd installment?**

If you have not yet received the 23rd installment, there is no need to panic. First, check your e-KYC, land seeding, Aadhaar, and bank account details. Once the necessary corrections are made, eligible farmers are likely to receive the withheld amount along with the next installment. However, if issues persist, farmers can lodge a complaint with the official PM Kisan helpline or the District Agriculture Office.
