The central government is currently running many such schemes through which a large section is getting benefited. It includes many schemes like providing housing, ration, and pensions. Similarly, there is a scheme Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana which is being run for farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers are given financial assistance of Rs 6 thousand annually every year and this money is given in three installments of Rs 2-2 thousand. Till now, a total of 17 installments have been given to the eligible farmers and now the next turn is the 18th installment, which everyone is eagerly waiting for, but do you know in which month the 18th installment can be released? Maybe not, so let's try to know. You can know about this in the next slides...

Who gets the benefit?

Financially weak farmers

Farmers who are not employed in any government job

Farmers who have cultivable land etc.

When did the 17th installment come?

So far 17 installments have been released under the PM Kisan Yojana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released this installment on June 18, 2024 from Varanasi. More than 9 crore eligible farmers got its benefit and this money was transferred to the bank accounts of these farmers through DBT. During this, PM Modi also interacted with the farmers.

In which month can the 18th installment be released?

The farmers associated with the scheme are now waiting for the 18th installment. According to the rules, every installment is released at an interval of four months. Like- the 17th installment was released in June and according to this the 18th installment can be released in October. However, its information has not been revealed officially yet.

At the same time, if you are associated with PM Kisan Yojana, then it is also necessary for you to get some work done. If you do not get this done then you may be deprived of the benefits of the installment. For example, it is necessary to get e-KYC done, land verification has to be done and you also need to link your Aadhaar card to your bank account. If you do not get these things done, then your installment may get stuck.
