Government Schedules 24th PM-KISAN Instalment for October 30 Release

The Indian government launched the "Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi" ("PM-KISAN") to assist landholding farmer families with agricultural inputs and household expenses. This central sector scheme provides 6,000 INR annually to eligible beneficiaries. The government distributes the funds in three equal installments of 2,000 INR every four months. The program uses the "Direct Benefit Transfer" system to deposit money into bank accounts.

Beneficiaries must complete periodic verification to maintain eligibility. Authorities mandate electronic "Know Your Customer" ("e-KYC") verification for fund distribution. Failure to complete this process delays scheduled payments. Farmers may check their status on the official "PM-KISAN" website or mobile application. in, participants can confirm their payment details, while the mobile application remains available for those needing to complete their e-KYC requirements.
