The Government of India has published the list of farmers who will get money under the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. On 19 November 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent ₹18,000 crore directly into the bank accounts of about nine crore farmers. This shows the government’s promise to keep supporting small and marginal farmers with direct cash help, without middlemen.
The PM-Kisan scheme started in 2019. Under this program, every eligible farmer gets ₹6,000 a year, paid in three parts of ₹2,000 each. Since the scheme began, the government has given more than ₹3.7 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmer families, making it one of the biggest farmer welfare programs in India.
Farmers can check if their names are on the list by visiting the official website https://pmkisan.gov.in. On the site, they can enter their Aadhaar number, mobile number, or bank details to see their payment status. There is also a “Beneficiary List” option where farmers can select their state, district, and village to see if they are included.
The government has made it clear that Aadhaar-based e-KYC is compulsory for farmers to keep getting money. Land records also need to be verified to make sure only genuine farmers benefit. Payments are made three times a year: April–July, August–November, and December–March. With the 21st installment now done, the 22nd installment is expected by late 2025 or early 2026.
The PM-Kisan scheme has become a key part of India’s farm policy. It gives direct financial support to millions of farmers, reduces their need to borrow from moneylenders, and strengthens rural life. The latest list shows the government’s ongoing effort to help farmers and highlights how digital systems are being used to make the process fair and transparent.
