The much-awaited PM Kisan 19th Installment is expected to arrive soon, providing financial assistance to millions of farmers across India under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. With the previous 18 installments successfully transferred to beneficiaries, farmers are eagerly awaiting the next round of payments. Here’s all the essential information you need to know about this installment, including dates, eligibility, and how to ensure you receive the benefit.
What is the PM Kisan Yojana?
Launched in December 2018 by the Government of India, the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana aims to provide direct financial support to farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹2000 every four months, in three installments, amounting to ₹6000 annually. The funds are directly transferred into the bank accounts of registered farmers.
The scheme targets farmers who own up to 2 hectares of land, and the financial assistance is provided for agricultural purposes to improve their livelihoods. The funds are transferred only to those farmers whose land is registered under their name in official government records.
When is the PM Kisan 19th Installment Expected?
The PM Kisan 19th Installment is likely to be disbursed in 2025. The government generally follows a set schedule for the installments:
- First installment: April to July

- Third installment: December to March
With the 18th installment recently credited, farmers can expect the 19th installment around early 2025. However, the exact dates may vary, and farmers are encouraged to keep an eye on the official PM Kisan Portal for updates.
