Status & Alerts
The 23rd installment of PM-KISAN was released on 20 June 2026, crediting ₹18,880 crore to more than 9.44 crore farmers via Direct Benefit Transfer. Based on the scheme's regular 4-month release cycle (August–November period), the 24th installment is expected in this window — though the exact date is announced by the Ministry of Agriculture only a few days in advance.
The biggest reason farmers miss their ₹2,000 payment isn't ineligibility — it's an incomplete eKYC or unlinked bank account. This post covers how to check your status, fix common issues, and where to get instant alerts the moment the next installment is confirmed.

The 3 Things That Must Be "Yes" Before You Get Paid
- eKYC Status: Complete via OTP on pmkisan.gov.in, biometric at your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC), or the new Face Authentication feature in the PM Kisan mobile app — no OTP needed for face auth.
- Land Seeding: Your land records must show "Yes" — digitally verified against your state's land record database.
- Aadhaar-Bank Linking: Your registered bank account must be Aadhaar-linked and active, not dormant.
If even one of these three shows "No" or "Pending" on your status page, your payment will be held back even if you're otherwise fully eligible.
How to Check Your Beneficiary Status
- Visit the official portal: pmkisan.gov.in
- Under "Farmers Corner," click Beneficiary Status or Know Your Status (KYS)
- Enter your Registration Number, Aadhaar number, or registered mobile number
- Complete the captcha and click Get Data
- Your eKYC, land seeding, and bank linking status will show individually — fix any that show "No"

⚠️ PM Kisan Never Charges a Fee
Registration, eKYC, and status checks under PM-KISAN are completely free on the official portal and at CSC centres. Be alert to WhatsApp forwards or callers asking for payment, OTP, or bank PIN to "release" or "activate" your installment — this is always a scam. Never share your OTP with anyone.
