Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Bihar on February 24, announced a major financial boost for farmers across India. Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the 19th installment has been released, disbursing over ₹21,500 crore to nearly 9.8 crore farmers. This government initiative aims to support small and marginal farmers by providing financial assistance of ₹6,000 annually, divided into three installments of ₹2,000 each.
What is the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme is a central government initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to eligible farmers. Under this scheme, farmers receive ₹6,000 annually, which is directly transferred to their bank accounts in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each. This scheme is designed to support small and marginal farmers, helping them meet agricultural and household expenses.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme: Why Haven’t You Received Your 19th Installment?

- Bank Account Issues – If your account is inactive or not linked to NPCI, the money won’t be transferred.
- Aadhaar Linkage Problems – Your bank account must be linked to Aadhaar for successful transactions.
- Incorrect Documents – Any errors in the submitted documents can lead to payment being withheld.
- Land Record Mismatch – Only farmers with correctly recorded names in official land records are eligible.
