PM Kisan 20th Installment Update: Will Farmers Finally Receive ₹2,000 This Friday? Here's What PM Modi's Schedule Reveals

Millions of farmers across India are eagerly awaiting the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme, but the government has yet to make an official announcement. With July already halfway through, the wait continues. Now, all eyes are on Friday, July 18, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Motihari, Bihar for a major public event. Farmers are hoping that the much-anticipated ₹2,000 installment will finally be released on that day.

What Is the Current Status of the 20th Installment?

Despite being deep into July, the 20th installment of the PM Kisan Yojana has not been disbursed, and the government has not announced a specific date yet. Speculation is rising that PM Modi might make a major announcement during his Bihar visit on July 18. However, as of now, there is no official confirmation from either the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) or the Ministry of Agriculture.

Farmers are understandably anxious. The previous year’s 17th installment had been credited by June 18, while the 19th installment was deposited in beneficiaries’ bank accounts on February 24, 2025. The delay this time has only added to the uncertainty.

PM Modi’s Bihar Visit: What to Expect

PM Narendra Modi will be addressing a massive rally in Motihari, Bihar, on July 18. During the event, he is expected to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for various developmental projects worth ₹7,100 crore, covering sectors like road transport, railways, electronics, and IT.

While there’s speculation that he might announce the PM Kisan 20th installment during the rally, there is no mention of PM Kisan in the official itinerary. If no announcement is made by July 17, farmers may have to prepare for yet another delay.

Other Major Announcements Expected on July 18

As part of the event, PM Modi will also:

• Transfer ₹162 crore to 40,000 beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana (Gramin) to support rural housing.

• Distribute house keys to 12,000 beneficiaries under the same scheme.
  These announcements, although significant, do not include any official word on the PM Kisan payout.

What Farmers Should Do Right Now

In light of the continued delay and to avoid any technical issues with payment:

• Ensure e-KYC is completed on the PM Kisan portal.

• Update land records and upload relevant documents.

• Generate your Farmer ID, which is now mandatory for receiving benefits.

• Double-check that your Aadhaar, mobile number, and bank account details are properly linked with the PM Kisan account.

These steps are crucial to ensure that the installment amount reaches your bank account without delays or rejections.

Beware of Fraud Calls and Messages

As always, stay alert to scams. Do not respond to calls or messages claiming they can help you receive PM Kisan payments faster in exchange for personal information or fees. The government never asks for money to process benefits. Always verify your PM Kisan status only through the official website: pmkisan.gov.in.

Final Word

Although farmers are hopeful that July 18 could bring good news, the lack of any official confirmation means the wait for the 20th PM Kisan installment continues. Keep your documentation updated, stay vigilant, and monitor announcements from the PMO or Agriculture Ministry. Until then, farmers must remain patient and prepared.

Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops.
