Modi to Release 21st PM-KISAN Instalment on November 19

The scheme has transferred over Rs 3.7 lakh crore to more than 11 crore farmer families since 2019.

Overview

  • Each eligible farmer family receives Rs 6,000 a year, paid in three instalments of Rs 2,000.
  • Disbursements use Aadhaar-linked direct transfers with e-KYC options including facial authentication via the PM-KISAN app.
  • More than one-quarter of total benefits are reported for women beneficiaries.
  • Farmers can check status and lodge grievances via the PM-KISAN portal, CPGRAMS, and the Kisan-eMitra chatbot available in 11 languages.
  • A Farmer Registry is being created to simplify access to welfare schemes and support village-level saturation efforts.
