There have been discussions on social media regarding the PM Kisan Yojana, suggesting that after the release of the 20th installment by the government, the 21st installment may soon be distributed across almost all states in India.
In some major states like Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, the 21st installment of financial assistance was released earlier in September due to emergency situations. However, farmers in other states are still waiting to receive this payment.
In states where the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana has been delayed, the government is releasing the PM Kisan Beneficiary List in several phases to verify the eligibility of farmers.
PM Kisan Beneficiary List
The government has been releasing the PM Kisan Beneficiary List for different states and has advised farmers to check whether their names appear on the list. Only those whose names are included will receive the next installment.
For the convenience of farmers, the beneficiary list is available both online and offline. This allows farmers to check their names using whichever method suits them best.
