Over the last few years, the Indian government has been offering financial support to farmers. This initiative kicked off in 2019 with the launch of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Through this program, farmers receive an annual sum of 6,000 rupees, distributed in three payments of 2,000 each.
The funds are transferred directly to the farmers’ bank accounts every four months using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. To date, over 13 crore farmers have benefited from this scheme, with a total of 18 installments disbursed so far.
The latest installment, the 18th, was credited to the farmers’ accounts on October 5, 2024. Now, those enrolled in the program are eagerly awaiting the 19th installment, which is expected to be released next month. Since the government typically issues payments every four months, and three months have already passed since the last one in October, many believe the next payment could come in February. However, this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
