This guide on PM Kisan status check is for farmers, and for family members who manage a farmer’s paperwork, who want to know whether the ₹2,000 instalment has reached their bank account and when the next one may come. You will learn how to check status online, find your registration number and fix common problems.
Quick answer: Go to pmkisan.gov.in, open Farmers Corner, click Know Your Status, enter your registration number and captcha, then verify with OTP. The 24th instalment was released on 30 October 2026. The date of the 25th instalment has not been officially announced yet; going by past releases, it is expected in early 2027.
What Is PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi?
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central government scheme that gives eligible landholding farmer families ₹6,000 a year. The money is paid in three instalments of ₹2,000 each, sent directly to the farmer’s Aadhaar-seeded bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
To keep getting money, a farmer needs three things in order: eKYC completed, land records seeded on the portal, and a bank account linked with Aadhaar and enabled for DBT. For other central schemes farmers can use, see our guide to government schemes in India.
PM Kisan Next Installment Date: Latest Update
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 24th instalment on 30 October 2026 from Banaskantha district in Gujarat. As per the official backgrounder, over ₹18,690 crore was sent to more than 9.34 crore farmers.
The 25th instalment date has not been announced by the government yet. Instalments usually come about four months apart, and the first instalment of a calendar year has come in February or March in recent years. So the 25th instalment is expected around February–March 2027, but treat this only as an estimate until the official date appears on pmkisan.gov.in or the scheme’s official social media handle.
Recent PM-Kisan instalment dates
| Instalment | Release date | Released from |

| 21st | 19 November 2025 | Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu |

If you did not get the 24th instalment, do not wait for the next one. Check your status now and fix the issue, because pending payments are usually released only after the problem is solved.
How to Do PM Kisan Status Check Online (Step by Step)
The only official website is pmkisan.gov.in. It works on a mobile browser too. Button names may change slightly, but the steps stay similar.
- Open pmkisan.gov.in.
- Scroll to Farmers Corner and click Know Your Status.
- Enter your registration number and the captcha code shown on screen.
- Click Get OTP. The OTP is sent to the mobile number registered for eKYC.
- Enter the OTP and submit. Your details will appear on the screen.
The status page shows your name, location, eligibility, eKYC status, land seeding status, Aadhaar-bank seeding and the details of each instalment, including the date and the bank where it was credited.
How to find your registration number
Many farmers do not remember their registration number. You can get it from the same page:
- On the Know Your Status page, click Know your registration no.
- Enter your registered mobile number or Aadhaar number and the captcha.
- Click Get OTP, enter the OTP, and your registration number and name will be displayed.
- Note it down safely for future status checks.
If the OTP does not reach your phone, your mobile number may not be linked correctly. Our guide on downloading Aadhaar with a mobile number also explains how to check which number is linked to your Aadhaar.
How to Check the PM Kisan Beneficiary List (Village-wise)
The beneficiary list shows all farmers of a village who are part of the scheme. It is useful when you want to confirm that your name is included.
- On pmkisan.gov.in, go to Farmers Corner and click Beneficiary List.
- Select your state, district, sub-district, block and village.
- Click Get Report.
- Look for your name in the list. The list shows names only, so use Know Your Status for payment details.
How to Complete PM Kisan eKYC
eKYC is mandatory for all registered PM-Kisan farmers. Without it, instalments are stopped. There are three ways to do it:
| Method | Where | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| OTP-based eKYC | pmkisan.gov.in (Farmers Corner > eKYC) | Aadhaar number and Aadhaar-linked mobile |
| Face authentication | Official PM-KISAN mobile app | Smartphone, Aadhaar; face scan through the app |
| Biometric eKYC | Common Service Centre (CSC) or State Seva Kendra | Aadhaar; fingerprint verification (service charge may apply) |
For the OTP method, open the eKYC option, enter your Aadhaar number, verify with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile, and submit. The status page should later show eKYC as completed.
PM Kisan Status Messages and What They Mean
eKYC: No
Your eKYC is not done. Complete it through OTP, the mobile app or a CSC. Payments will not be released until this is fixed.
Land seeding: No
Your land records are not yet verified and linked on the portal. Contact your local patwari, lekhpal, agriculture officer or the state’s PM-Kisan nodal office with your land documents.
Aadhaar bank account seeding: No
Your bank account is not linked with Aadhaar for DBT. Visit your bank branch and ask them to seed Aadhaar and enable DBT (NPCI mapping). Some farmers open an account with India Post Payments Bank for this purpose.
FTO generated and payment confirmation pending
The fund transfer order has been created and payment is being processed. Usually the money reaches the account in a few days. Check your bank SMS or passbook.
RFT signed by state
The state government has verified your details and sent a request for funds to the Centre. Payment is the next step.
Why Your PM Kisan Instalment May Be Stopped
- eKYC not completed on the portal, app or CSC.
- Land records not seeded or found incorrect during verification.
- Bank account not Aadhaar-linked or closed, or the IFSC has changed after a bank merger.
- Name mismatch between Aadhaar, bank account and land records.
- Found ineligible during physical or data checks, such as being an income tax payer.
- Farmer ID not created in states where the Farmer ID (AgriStack) is being made a requirement; check with your state agriculture department.
Who Is Not Eligible for PM-Kisan?
The scheme is for landholding farmer families. The following groups are excluded under the scheme’s guidelines:
- Institutional landholders.
- Present or former holders of constitutional posts, and present or former ministers, MPs, MLAs, mayors and district panchayat chairpersons.
- Serving or retired government employees (except Multi Tasking Staff, Class IV and Group D employees).
- Retired pensioners getting ₹10,000 or more per month (with the same exception as above).
- People who paid income tax in the last assessment year.
- Registered professionals such as doctors, engineers, lawyers, chartered accountants and architects.
If an ineligible person has received money, the government can ask for it to be returned. Women farmers who want to start a small business alongside farming can also look at state schemes like Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan.
How to Register for PM-Kisan as a New Farmer
- On pmkisan.gov.in, go to Farmers Corner and click New Farmer Registration.
- Choose rural or urban farmer, enter your Aadhaar number, mobile number and state, and verify with OTP.
- Fill in personal details, bank details and land details (khasra/khata number) as per your records.
- Upload land documents if asked and submit the form.
- Your application is verified by the state. Track it using the status option on the portal.
In some states, a Farmer ID is now asked for during new registration. If the portal asks for it, get it made through your state’s AgriStack or agriculture department process first.
How to Update Mobile Number or Bank Details
A wrong mobile number means you cannot receive OTPs, and a closed bank account means payments fail. Here is how to handle both:
- Mobile number: The portal has an option in Farmers Corner to update the mobile number linked to your PM-Kisan registration, verified through Aadhaar OTP. For Aadhaar OTP itself, the number must be updated in Aadhaar at an Aadhaar centre.
- Bank account: PM-Kisan pays into the Aadhaar-seeded account mapped with NPCI. To change the receiving account, link Aadhaar with the new account at that bank and ask for DBT to be enabled. The payment then goes to the newly mapped account.
- Name or land details: Corrections in name spelling or land records are done through your state agriculture office or revenue officials, not by the farmer online.
PM Kisan Helpline and Grievance
- Helpline: 155261 or 011-24300606 (check the latest numbers in the contact section of pmkisan.gov.in).
- Online grievance: Use the Help Desk or grievance option in Farmers Corner, enter your registration number or Aadhaar, select the issue and submit.
- Local help: Your block or district agriculture office and the PM-Kisan nodal officer of your state.
Be careful of fake websites, WhatsApp messages and calls that promise instalments in exchange for a fee or OTP. The government never charges any fee to release PM-Kisan money.
