Good news is on the horizon for crores of farmers across India as the 19th installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) is expected to be released soon. This flagship government scheme provides direct income support of ₹6,000 annually to eligible farmers in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each.
As the next installment approaches, farmers are eagerly waiting to know:
- When will the 19th installment be credited?
- Am I eligible for it?
- How can I check my name in the beneficiary list?
In this detailed blog, we cover everything you need to know about the upcoming installment — including important dates, eligibility criteria, and steps to verify your status.
📅 Expected Release Date of the 19th Installment
The 19th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana is expected to be released in the last week of July 2025, though an official confirmation is awaited from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare.
In previous years, the second installment of the financial year has generally been disbursed between July 20 and July 31. Therefore, eligible farmers can expect the ₹2,000 credit during this time frame, directly into their registered bank accounts.
