The PM Kisan 22nd installment date is officially confirmed Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the ₹2,000 payment tomorrow, March 13, 2026 at 5:00 PM IST from Guwahati, Assam, where he will digitally transfer funds to 9.32 crore eligible farmers across the country simultaneously. The official PM-KISAN website at pmkisan.gov.in carries the announcement directly: “The Hon’ble Prime Minister will release the 22nd installment of the PM-KISAN on 13th March 2026 from Guwahati, Assam.” The total disbursement for this installment stands at approximately ₹19,000 crore the single largest direct income support transfer to farmers that the government has executed in the current financial year.

PM Kisan 22nd Installment Date

The 22nd installment arrives at a critical agricultural moment immediately ahead of the Kharif sowing season, when farmers need liquid capital to purchase seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides before the first summer rains arrive. For farmers who completed eKYC and maintain Aadhaar-linked bank accounts with no pending verification flags, the ₹2,000 credit will appear in their accounts within 24 to 72 hours of the Prime Minister’s digital release from Guwahati.

The 21st installment released on November 19, 2025, reached 9 crore farmers slightly fewer than the 9.32 crore expected for the 22nd installment, suggesting the government’s beneficiary verification drive has added new verified farmers back to the active list after resolving earlier Aadhaar and land record mismatches.​

Who Will Receive the 22nd Installment: Eligibility Checklist

Every farmer who expects a credit on or after March 13 should verify they meet all active conditions:​

• eKYC completed — the PM-KISAN website confirms this is mandatory without exception; no eKYC means no payment regardless of eligibility​
• Aadhaar-linked bank account — the account must carry Aadhaar seeding for the DBT transfer to process​
• Land records verified — state governments have been actively removing ineligible names from the beneficiary list based on updated land surveys​
• Farmer ID (if applicable) — the government is now progressively linking Farmer ID cards to PM-KISAN accounts; farmers in states where this has been made mandatory must complete the linking before the disbursement date​
• No income tax filing history — taxpaying individuals do not qualify for the scheme​
• No government employment — families with central or state government employees remain excluded​

Installment History: How the 22nd Fits the Full Payment Timeline

As of the 21st installment, the PM-KISAN scheme has disbursed a cumulative total of ₹4.09 lakh crore to farmers across India since its launch in February 2019.​

Why Some Farmers Will Not Receive the 22nd Installment

The government conducted a systematic beneficiary cleanup drive before finalising the 22nd installment list and strict eKYC plus land record verification removed hundreds of thousands of ineligible or fraudulent registrations. Farmers whose payment will not arrive on March 13 typically fall into one of these categories:

• eKYC not completed — the most common reason, affecting farmers who missed the OTP or biometric verification step​
• Aadhaar-bank seeding mismatch — the name on the Aadhaar card does not match exactly with the bank account name​
• Land records flagged — state revenue departments tagged the registered land as ineligible or under dispute​
• Duplicate registration — the same Aadhaar number appears against more than one PM-KISAN account​
• 21st installment pending — farmers who missed the 21st installment due to pending verification may receive both the 21st and 22nd installments together in a consolidated credit​

What Farmers With Double Arrears May Receive

A specific group of farmers will receive ₹4,000 instead of ₹2,000 on March 13 those whose 21st installment was withheld due to pending eKYC or land verification and whose issues were since resolved.

The government credits both the withheld 21st installment and the current 22nd installment in a single combined transfer for verified accounts. Reports suggest this combined credit scenario applies to approximately 20–30 lakh farmers whose documentation was corrected after the November 2025 payment cycle.​

Farmer ID: The New Mandatory Requirement You Need to Know

The government introduced a new layer of verification for the 22nd installment in the form of Farmer ID a unique identifier that links a farmer’s land records, Aadhaar, bank account, and PM-KISAN registration into a single unified database.

States where Farmer ID integration has already been implemented at the district level require farmers to complete the Farmer ID linking at pmkisan.gov.in under the “Farmer ID” section in the Farmers Corner. Whether Farmer ID is mandatory for your specific state before March 13 depends on state-level implementation status check your status page for a pending Farmer ID flag.
