The government is ready to release the 21st installment of Rs 2,000 under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme just before Diwali 2025. This installment will bring happiness to millions of farmers across India. But not every farmer will get this payment. Only those who have completed all verification steps and updated their details will receive the money in their bank accounts.
Advance Payments in Some States
Some farmers in flood-affected states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand have already received their Rs 2,000 installment early. Around 27 lakh farmers in these areas got their money in advance. The early release was done to help those who faced heavy losses due to floods.
| State | Farmers Benefited | Payment Status |
| Punjab | 10 lakh+ | Released early |
| Himachal Pradesh | 8 lakh+ | Released early |
| Uttarakhand | 9 lakh+ | Released early |
This early help shows the government’s effort to support farmers in difficult times.
Why Some Farmers May Not Get the Payment
Not all farmers will receive this installment. Many may face delays or even be left out because of incomplete details. Farmers who have not done e-KYC, have Aadhaar not linked with their bank account, or have incorrect bank details may miss out.
Sometimes, errors like a wrong IFSC code, closed bank account, or mismatched names cause payment failure. To avoid such issues, farmers should update their records as soon as possible.
How to Complete e-KYC
Farmers must finish their e-KYC to get the payment. It can be done in two simple ways:
- Visit the official website pmkisan.gov.in and complete e-KYC using Aadhaar and OTP.
- Go to the nearest Common Service Center (CSC) or your bank branch and complete biometric verification.
Once the e-KYC is done, farmers can check their payment status on the same website. It will show if their name is included in the beneficiary list for the 21st installment.
Checking PM Kisan Beneficiary Status
It’s very easy to check the status of your PM Kisan installment. Just follow these steps:
- Visit pmkisan.gov.in
- Click on “Beneficiary Status”
- Enter your Aadhaar number, bank account number, or mobile number
- The system will show if your payment has been credited or is pending
Checking this before Diwali ensures you know whether your details are correct and payment is on the way.
What Affects Payment Crediting
Only farmers who have completed all required steps will get their Rs 2,000 before Diwali. This includes having:
- Correct bank account number and IFSC code
- Aadhaar linked to bank account
- e-KYC successfully done
If any of these are missing or incorrect, the payment may get delayed or stopped completely.
Why the Payment Is Being Released Early
The government plans to release the payment before Diwali to reduce the financial burden on farmers during the festive season. This move also shows care for farmers in disaster-affected regions. The early payments help families meet their festival expenses without stress.
It’s also part of the government’s larger effort to support the agricultural sector and ensure no eligible farmer is left behind.
Steps Farmers Should Take
Farmers should take the following actions immediately to avoid missing the installment:
- Complete e-KYC online or at a CSC center
- Link Aadhaar to their bank account
- Correct any errors in personal or banking details
- Check their name in the beneficiary list on pmkisan.gov.in
Doing these simple things will ensure the money is credited smoothly before Diwali.
What to Do If Payment Is Delayed
If your payment hasn’t arrived, don’t panic. First, recheck your details on the PM Kisan portal. If everything seems fine but you still didn’t receive the money, visit your local agriculture office or CSC center. They can help verify your records and fix the issue quickly.
Sometimes payments get delayed due to technical errors or server issues, so a small wait might solve the problem.
Conclusion
The 21st PM Kisan installment before Diwali 2025 is a big relief for millions of farmers. It will support them during the festive season and help in managing expenses. But farmers must ensure their details are accurate and verified. Completing e-KYC, linking Aadhaar, and checking the beneficiary list are key steps to receive the payment smoothly. Those who act quickly will celebrate Diwali with extra joy and financial comfort.
