What Is PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana? 

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a central government scheme started in 2019 to support small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme: Every eligible farmer family gets ₹6,000 per year. The ₹6,000 is paid in three installments of ₹2,000 each. Money goes directly to the farmer’s bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Farmers must be landowners with cultivable land.  

This financial help gives farmers extra income to buy seeds, fertilizers, and other farming needs.  

What Are Installments and Why Important? An installment is a part of the total ₹6,000 paid every year under the scheme. Installments normally follow this pattern: 1. First installment – covers April to July 

2. Second installment – covers August to November 

3. Third installment – covers December to March  So, the 22nd installment will be the first installment of the year 2026, covering the period from December 2025 to March 2026.   

When Is the 22nd Installment Expected? Till today, the Government has not officially announced the exact date for the 22nd installment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. But based on past trends and expert reports: The 22nd installment is expected to be released between February and March 2026.

This is because the last installment (the 21st) was released in November 2025, and typically the Government pays the next installment roughly every four months.  Many news and informational sources also estimate the same time frame: Some say February 2026 is the most likely month.  Others mention it may happen by March 2026.  There is no official date yet, but it usually follows the past schedule.  

Main point: The 22nd installment will likely come in February or March 2026, but we must wait for the Government to officially announce the date.   

How Much Money Will You Get? Under the scheme: Each installment is worth ₹2,000. So for the 22nd installment, eligible farmers will receive ₹2,000 in their bank account.  

This amount will be directly transferred to the farmer’s bank account through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
