PM Kisan 24th installment released: status check, 25th kist date, eKYC

Quick answer: The 24th installment of PM Kisan (₹2,000) was released on 30 October 2026 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Bhildi, Banaskantha (Gujarat) — about ₹18,680 crore to more than 9.34 crore farmers. If it hasn't reached you, check pmkisan.gov.in → Know Your Status: your eKYC, land seeding and Aadhaar–bank (DBT) link must all be complete. The 25th installment has no official date yet; on the usual four-month cycle it would fall around February–March 2027.

Key takeaways

• PM Kisan pays ₹6,000 a year in three installments of ₹2,000, directly into your bank account.
• The three checks that decide payment: eKYC done, land seeding = Yes, Aadhaar linked to bank (DBT enabled).
• eKYC can be done by OTP on the portal or by fingerprint at a Common Service Centre (CSC).
• Income-tax payers, most government employees and professionals like doctors and lawyers aren't eligible.
• Never pay anyone to "release" your installment — the scheme is free.

#PM Kisan 24th installment at a glance

Warning: The beneficiary count fell from 9.44 crore (23rd) to 9.34 crore (24th). If you got the 23rd but not the 24th, your record was most likely held for eKYC, land seeding or DBT — fix it now so you don't miss the 25th. Ignore WhatsApp messages claiming a "confirmed" 25th installment date.

#How to check PM Kisan status (Know Your Status)

1. Go to pmkisan.gov.in.
2. In the Farmers Corner, click Know Your Status.
3. Enter your registration number. If you don't know it, click Know your registration number and use your mobile number or Aadhaar with OTP.
4. Enter the captcha and OTP.
5. You'll see each installment, the date it was paid, and three important checks:

If all three are fine and the 24th installment shows "pending", wait a few days after the official release — banks credit in batches.

#How to check the beneficiary list for your village

1. On pmkisan.gov.in, open Beneficiary List.
2. Select state, district, sub-district, block and village.
3. Click Get Report to see the names of farmers in that village who are receiving payments.

#How to complete PM Kisan eKYC

Option 1: OTP on the portal (free)

4. You'll see "eKYC successfully submitted".

This works only if your mobile is linked to Aadhaar. If not, link it first — see updating Aadhaar.

Visit your nearest Common Service Centre with Aadhaar. The operator completes biometric eKYC using your fingerprint. A small service fee may apply.
