## PM Kisan 24th installment at a glance

| Detail | Information |
| --- | --- |
| Installment | 24th |
| Amount | **₹2,000** per eligible farmer family |
| Released on | **30 October 2026**, from Bhildi, Banaskantha (Gujarat) |
| Total transferred | About **₹18,680 crore** |
| Beneficiaries | More than **9.34 crore** farmers (9.44 crore got the 23rd) |
| 25th installment | Not announced; usual cycle points to **Feb–Mar 2027** |
| 23rd installment | Paid on **20 June 2026** |

| Official website | pmkisan.gov.in |

> **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:

| Field | Should show | If not |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **eKYC status** | Yes / Done | Complete eKYC (below) |
| **Land seeding** | Yes | Visit your Patwari / revenue office or agriculture officer to verify land records |
| **Aadhaar bank seeding (DBT)** | Active | Link Aadhaar to your bank account and enable DBT at your bank or India Post Payments Bank |

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)

1. Open **pmkisan.gov.in → eKYC**.
2. Enter your **Aadhaar number** and click **Search**.
3. Enter the **OTP** sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
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](/update-aadhaar-address-online).

### Option 2: Fingerprint at a CSC

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

### Option 3: Face authentication

The official **PM Kisan app** offers face-based eKYC on many phones — check the app's eKYC option.

## Who is eligible — and who isn't

**Eligible:** landholding farmer families (husband, wife and minor children) whose names are in land records.

**Not eligible:**

- Institutional landholders
- Families where any member paid **income tax** in the last assessment year
- Serving or retired **government employees** (except Group D / Multi-Tasking Staff)

- **Professionals** registered and practising, such as doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants and architects
- Retired pensioners getting **₹10,000 or more** a month (except Group D / MTS)

If you got money while not eligible, the government can ask for it back.

2. Choose **Rural** or **Urban**, enter **Aadhaar**, mobile and state, and verify with OTP.
3. Fill in land details and upload land records.
4. Submit. The state government verifies before payments start.

You can also register at a **CSC** or through your local agriculture officer.

## Why your installment may be stuck — and fixes
