Launched in 2019, the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) is a government initiative aimed at supporting small and marginal farmers in India by providing annual income assistance of ₹6,000. This amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each, which are credited directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts every four months.
The timeline suggests that after the last installment, which was the 19th paid out in February 2025, beneficiaries can expect the 20th installment between April and July 2025, with June being the most likely month for distribution according to media reports.
