Overview

  • Sources in the central government confirm the delayed payment is in its final processing stages and could reach farmers' accounts between July 19 and 20.
  • More than 9.8 crore small and marginal farmers must complete six steps—e-KYC, Aadhaar-bank linking, bank and land record verification, beneficiary status check, and mobile number update—to secure the payout.
  • The government extended compliance deadlines into mid-July to help farmers meet digital requirements and avoid rejected transfers.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to formally announce the 20th installment at a Bihar event on July 18, though no official confirmation has been issued.
  • Since its 2019 launch, the PM-Kisan scheme has disbursed over ₹3.5 lakh crore to nearly 10 crore farmers through three annual Rs 2,000 tranches.
