Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to release the 24th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme on October 30. The national-level event for this disbursement will take place in Bhildi town, located in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat.
This latest round of financial assistance, totaling more than ₹18,680 crore, is expected to reach over 9.34 crore farmer families nationwide. Under the PM-Kisan program, eligible beneficiaries receive ₹6,000 annually, divided into three equal instalments of ₹2,000, which are transferred directly into their registered bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
PM Kisan 24th instalment: How to Check Your Payment Status
Farmers who are part of the scheme can verify whether their payment has been processed by accessing the official government portal. To view your status, follow these steps:
- Visit the official PM-KISAN website at pmkisan.gov.in.
- Locate the 'Farmers Corner' section on the homepage.
- Select the 'Know Your Status' module.
- Enter your unique PM Kisan registration number along with the security captcha code shown on your screen.
- Click the 'Get Data' button to view the details of your payment.
Please note that while the status may update on the portal, the actual credit of funds into your bank account may take some time to reflect. If you encounter issues or cannot view your status, you may reach out to the dedicated government helpline numbers at 155261 or 011-24300606 for assistance. Additionally, the Kisan eMitra chatbot is available for further queries.
What This Means for Farmers
This disbursement is a significant support measure for landholding farming families. To ensure the smooth receipt of the ₹2,000 benefit, farmers must be fully compliant with current government requirements. Specifically, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has made the following conditions mandatory:
- e-KYC Completion: All registered farmers are required to complete their e-KYC. This can be done online using an OTP on the portal, via the PM-KISAN mobile app using facial recognition, or by visiting a nearby Common Service Centre (CSC).
- Aadhaar Seeding: Your active bank account must be seeded with your Aadhaar card to facilitate the transfer.
Farmers who have not completed these essential steps—e-KYC or Aadhaar seeding—risk being excluded from the active beneficiary list, meaning they will not receive the payment in this cycle. Maintaining compliance with these protocols is crucial for continued participation in the scheme.
